Abstract:	This article focuses on a provisional quantitative scoring with preliminary norms for the Goldstein-Scheerer cube test. The Goldstein-Scheerer Tests seem to he the best tests of organic deterioration adaptable to the usual clinical situation because of their relative brevity and objectivity. As the authors point out, these tests avoid the positive effects of verbal training and the negative effects of its absence upon results in verbal testing, as well as the unpredictable qualitative changes in verbalization and speech found in mental patients. These tests may be used with reliable results with persons generally or specifically illiterate, and also to some extent with aphasics.
