TL;DR
Strong correlations between the short and long forms support the Berg Card Sorting Test-64 as an abbreviated alternative for the full-length executive function test.
Abstract
The Psychology Experimental Building Language http://pebl.sourceforge.net/ Berg Card Sorting Test is an open-source neurobehavioral test. Participants (N = 207, ages 6 to 74) completed the Berg Card Sorting Test. Performance on the first 64 trials were isolated and compared to that on the full-length (128 trials) test. Strong correlations between the short and long forms (total errors: r = .87, perseverative response: r = .83, perseverative errors r = .77, categories completed r = .86) support the Berg Card Sorting Test-64 as an abbreviated alternative for the full-length executive function test.

The results generally support the three factor solutions reported in the exploratory factor analysis literature, but only the first factor, which reflects general executive functioning, is statistically sound.

The WCST seems to originate from the psychology of thinking ('Denkpsychologie'), but the test, as it is used in clinical neuropsychological practice, was designed by experimenters working within the behaviorist tradition.

Age-related effects were found over all four tests, especially as age increased from young childhood through adulthood, indicating that the PEBL tests provide valid and versatile new research tools for measuring executive functions.

Assessment practices of neuropsychologists with regard to their utilization of instruments designed with ecological concerns in mind are surveyed, and results indicated that approximately one-third of respondents reported use of ecologically oriented instruments (EOIs), and these instruments were generally utilized with much less frequency than traditional measures.

Self-report measures of typical alcohol consumption, impulsivity, and frontal lobe related everyday functioning were all intercorrelated in line with other recent findings, but multiple regression indicated that these measures did not predict perseverative errors nor non-perseverative errors on the WCST, whereas BAC uniquely predicted PE but not NPE.

In a sample of 145 consecutive subjects referred for neuropsychological testing, the data obtained strongly suggests that multiple regression equations can reliably predict WCST whole test scores from a 64 or a 96-item version of the test.
