A very short version of the Minnesota Differential Diagnosis of Aphasia Test is described. It is standardized on 86 aphasics and reduces the original 43 subtests to just four; takes less than 15 minutes to give; correlates by over 0.9 with the total full test; and misclassified only 13 per cent of subjects. These four subtests are identifying objects named serially (A4), oral reading of words (B8), naming pictures (C13) and written spelling (D6). This extensive shortening is made feasible by the high degree of redundancy in the original full version. The test is designed to detect asphasia in general, and not to partition aphasics typologically, for which the full Minnesota is required.
本文介绍了明尼苏达失语症鉴别诊断测试的一个非常简短的版本。该版本在86名失语症患者身上进行了标准化，将原来的43个分测验减少到仅4个；施测时间不到15分钟；与完整测试总分的相关性超过0.9；对受试者的错误分类仅为13%。这四个分测验分别是按顺序识别命名的物体（A4）、单词的口头阅读（B8）、图片命名（C13）和书写拼写（D6）。由于原始完整版本存在高度冗余，所以能够实现如此大幅度的缩短。该测试旨在总体上检测失语症，而非对失语症进行类型划分，若要进行类型划分则需要完整的明尼苏达测试。
