. We have reviewed the methodologies in construction of some widely used tests and constructed a computer‐compatible scored method for the neuromotor evaluation of four year olds. Using the data from 333 neurological assessments, factor analysis indicated five subscales. Alpha coefficients show high reliability for both subscales and total scores. Using data from a second sample, we describe predictive validity for the five subscales and total score.
