A variety of different types of tests and tasks can be employed in neuropsychological assessment. Diagnostic inferences and conclusions typically come from understanding relationships between test performances or from a pattern that emerges from a group of test performances. Therefore, knowing the name or description of any single test is oversimplified and can even be misleading. However, for those people who prefer to do their own library research, an extensive sample of representative tests is listed here.
