Construct Validity of the Weigl Color-Form Sorting Test.

Tamkin, Arthur S.; Kunce, Joseph T.

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v55 n1 p105-06 Aug 1982

Replicating previous findings that the inability to "shift" conceptual attitude on the Weigl is consistent with indices associated with cortical dysfunction, the Weigl is shown to possibly serve as a nonverbal instrument to assess cortical dysfunction where inability to "shift" appears to tap a dysfunction in symbolic rather than spatial reasoning.
