This study investigated the interscorer reliability between a novice and a professional psychologist for the Minnesota Percepto‐Diagnostic Test‐Revised (MPDT‐R). The sample consisted of 30 individuals (18 males and 12 females) who were referred to the Applied Neuroscience Institute of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. Results from the study indicated that for three of the four MPDT‐R scores there was a significant positive correlation between expert and novice scoring criteria. Implications for the assessment of perceptual‐motor problems using the MPDT‐R are discussed.
