The W Card Sorting Task (WCST) is used primarily to assess perseveration and abstract thinking, the WCST is also considered a measure of executive function because of its reported sensitivity to frontal lobe dysfunction. Test instruction: Each card has three stimulus parameters (color, mark, and number). Respondents are required to sort cards according to different principles and to alter their approach during test. Results: Results are reported as the number of seconds required to complete the task and number of mistakes; therefore, higher scores reveal greater impairment. As such, the WCST allows you to assess respondent’s strategic planning; organized searching; and ability to utilize environmental feedback to shift cognitive sets, direct behavior toward achieving a goal, and modulate impulsive responding. A rough standard: Score is depends on age or gender however most in 120 seconds, 10 mistakes
