Zusammenfassung:The Goldstein-Scheerer object-sorting test was administered to 125 subjects over a period of 14 months. The subjects included schizophrenic patients, manic-depressive patients, other psychiatric patients (paranoids and nonparanoids) cannot be differentiated from manic-depressive patients in the manic phase of their illness, although they are easily differentiated from manic-depressives in interphase and normal controls. It seems that this test is not a useful measure as a differential diagnostic tool, but may have some value as an indicator of a general impairment in psychologic functioning.
