Previous studies with the Kahn Test of Symbol Arrangement (KTSA) have been reported to differentiate successfully between a number of psychiatric categories and normals. Most of them, however, were carried out on American populations. In the present study, an attempt to follow up the diagnostic accuracy of the KTSA was made by applying the Dictionary of Scores compiled in the U.S.A. (Hill & Latham, 1965) on a group of British psychotic patients.
