How long does the WCS take, and what is the test like?
The test should take approximately 30 minutes. The WCS includes a two-part questionnaire. The first part, which includes questions about the client’s background, pertinent medical history, and interpersonal skills, is filled out by the clinician. In the second part, the client rates his/her level of self-confidence and answers questions about computer familiarity. Following the questionnaire is a series of computerized subtests that measure attention and working memory, learning capacity, and motor speed. At the clinician’s discretion, an optional mental status examination may be added to the WCS.
