content: The Goldstein-Scheerer Test of Abstract and Concrete Thinking, published by the Psychological Corp. in 1947, is an individual performance test requiring the examinee to sort, classify or make designs with various objects, and for some of the sub-tests, to render a verbal justification for a given performative response. Kurt Goldstein (1878-1965) was a German-Jewish psychiatrist who fled to the U.S. when the Nazis came to power. Martin Scheerer (1900-1961) was an American psychologist with a German PhD. The test was published by the Psychological Corporation, an organization founded by James McKeen Cattell in New York in 1921.
