The four neurological patient groups and the normals from the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) standardization sample were used to examine the discriminability of the WCST's indices. Results reveal consistent differentiation of normals from the patient groups on all WCST variables, with classification rates averaging 71% accuracy. However, patient groups with frontal, diffuse, and nonfrontal lesions were not consistently discriminable from each other. The results suggest that the WCST is most usefully conceptualized as a measure of executive abilities that involves the frontal lobes, but should not be considered solely as a marker of isolated frontal lobe pathology.
来自威斯康星卡片分类测验（WCST）标准化样本的四个神经疾病患者组和正常对照组被用于检验WCST各项指标的辨别能力。结果显示，在所有WCST变量上，正常对照组与患者组之间存在一致的差异，分类准确率平均为71%。然而，额叶病变组、弥漫性病变组和非额叶病变组之间并不能始终如一地相互区分。结果表明，WCST最有用的概念是作为一种涉及额叶的执行能力测量方法，但不应仅被视为孤立额叶病变的标志物。
