本研究评估了能力缺陷和人格障碍与三个层次的就业患者转介神经心理测试。高度显着的组间差异，失业组始终表现出最大的病理测试，全职就业组表现相对正常，兼职就业组收入中等分数。一个判别函数，同时使用神经心理学和人格的措施，发现歧视失业全职就业患者令人满意。验证和交叉验证样本的功能实现的分类率支持其在识别高失业风险的新患者方面的临床实用性。看来，通常用于神经和精神病诊断的心理测试也可以帮助预测患者在日常生活中的某些方面的能力。
This study assessed the ability deficits and personality disturbances associated with three levels of employment in patients referred for neuropsychological testing. Highly significant group differences were found, with the unemployed group consistently showing greatest pathology on the tests, the full time employed group performing relatively normally, and the part time employed group earning intermediate scores. A discriminant function which used both neuropsychological and personality measures was found to discriminate unemployed from full time employed patients satisfactorily. Classification rates achieved by the function for validation and cross-validation samples support its clinical utility in identifying new patients who are at high risk for unemployment. It appears that psychological tests commonly used in neurological and psychiatric diagnosis can also help predict some aspects of patients' abilities to function in everyday life.
