The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) provides a measurement of the cognitive flexibility, abstract reasoning skills and the development and maintenance of strategies to achieve an objective (Heaton, Chelune, Talley, Kay, & Curtiss, 2001; Kenneth, Heilman, & Valenstein, 2011). The WCST consists of four stimulus cards and 128 response cards. The goal of the test is to match the response cards with the stimulus cards according to three criteria: color, form, and number. However, the classification principles are never made explicit: the respondent must deduce such principles from the feedback provided by the evaluator.
