Described a 50‐item, self‐administered neuropsychological screening test with test results correlating with three reference measures for three participant groupings–Normals ( N = 22), Psychiatric patients ( N = 21) and Neurological patients ( N = 14). Results suggest that neuropsychological self‐description can correlate with performance measures that are known to be sensitive to cognitive impairment.
