Abstract

Figural (or nonverbal) fluency is an ability of the executive functions that provides us with information about divergent reasoning, divided attention, planning and mental flexibility. Five Point Test (5TT) is a neuropsychological test that assesses figural fluency.

Impairments of figural fluency have been found in individuals with various neurological or psychiatric diseases. A participant is asked to generate as many unique designs as possible in a certain time limit.

The aim of this study was to create norms for the Five Point Test for Czech population. Normative data for adult population aged between 20 and 85 years (n=503) are presented.

We assessed the number of correct answers and the number of perseverations. The number of correct answers is influenced by age and education (r = -0.3 and 0.4, respectively, p 0.9 for both scores).
