一项由 26 个问题组成的心理测试分数测试记忆和定向力，用于一项针对老年人精神障碍的大型住院研究。分析表明，这些问题的歧视性价值差异很大。删除效率较低的问题会导致十个问题的简化测试，其歧视性与完整测试类似。建议进行此类较短的测试，以便在老年科进行进一步的实际评估。
A mental test score consisting of 26 questions testing memory and orientation was used in a large inpatient study of mental impairment of the elderly. Analysis shows that the questions varied considerably in their discriminatory value. Deletion of the less effective questions results in an abbreviated test of ten questions with similar discriminatory powers to the full test. Shorter tests of this kind are recommended for further practical evaluation in geriatric departments.
