Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST)

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is a neurological assessment used to evaluate a person's ability to think flexibly, problem-solve, and adapt to changing rules. During the test, individuals sort cards based on different criteria like color, shape, or number, but the rules are hidden and change unexpectedly. The test measures how well they can adjust their strategies in response to feedback. It's often used to assess brain functions related to executive control, decision-making, and to identify possible cognitive difficulties associated with neurological or psychological conditions.
