Abstract	The Quick Cognitive Screening Test is a brief and portable, mid-range cognitive assessment tool used to detect specific cognitive deficits in individuals with traumatic brain injury, psychiatric disorders, and neurological disorders (Mate-Kole, Major, Lenzer & Connolly, 1994). Although many brief tests have been developed, limitations in their sensitivity, specificity, and administration length still exist. The present study examined the psychometric properties of the revised version of the Quick Cognitive Screening Test (RQCST). 353 participants were recruited comprising normal controls and individuals with neurological disorders including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, traumatic brain injury, and cerebrovascular disease. The RQCST was administered along with standardized measures to participants. The results revealed that the RQCST discriminated between normal, healthy individuals the neurological group. Additionally, the RQCST significantly correlated with other standardized measures confirming the RQCST's reliability and validity as a screening instrument for individuals with cognitive deficits.
