Rey Complex Figure Test (CFT)
Instructions for use in the Frankfurt Neuropsychological Test Profile (FNTP)

Execution and Scoring
Sign off: The test template is presented in landscape format for signing (a cross at the top
left). Aids such as a ruler or eraser are not allowed, only a pencil is provided. There is no time
limit. However, the time is unobtrusively recorded as additional information. If you are
obviously overwhelmed, the attempt will be stopped (after 10 minutes at the latest). The
instruction reads: "Please try to draw this somewhat complicated figure as accurately as
possible. Without a ruler, as it lies here, in the same position and the same size. The time is
not important.” Prevent spontaneous rotation of the template if possible! It makes sense to
record the course of the signing by numbering the sequence of strokes on a separate sheet
and to note down qualitative observations (e.g. neglect sign).
Memory: When signing off, no indication is given that the figure should be kept.
Immediately after signing, an empty DIN A4 sheet is put down with the request: "Can
you draw the figure again from memory?" No repeat presentation of the template
afterwards! And after an interval of 30 minutes, which is filled with other test tasks, a
second question is asked: "Can you still remember the figure that you had already drawn
twice?"
Normal drawing: With at least average intelligence, healthy people are able to copy the
figure - more or less exactly - so that the end product corresponds well with the template.
The linework varies qualitatively (strong, secure lines, painterly dashed, pedantic-exact,
timid, thin, weak line ...), the planning behavior leads to success in different ways. The most
common is a structurally sound, large-scale development. Often the cross is started at the
top left, then the large rectangle is drawn, the triangle is added to the right, then the inner
diagonal cross is drawn with the center lines and the upper triangle is added to the outside.
The order after completing the large rectangle is very variable, but the procedure is
characterized by overview. timid, Anxious and cautious people systematically divide the
figure into manageable parts, while others draw large areas using the “outside first”
strategy. The main characteristic of the normal drawing is the consistency of shape in the
end product, and a "somehow" systematic, goal-oriented approach is to be expected in the
behavior of the signs.
Score: The evaluation is "semi-objective" and primarily dependent on the experience of the
evaluator. Adequate training is therefore necessary. In order to be able to roughly decide
whether a drawing looks qualitatively "normal" or "disturbed, pathological" (which is entirely
possible and sensible), the "normal" way of drawing must have been seen in as many healthy
people as possible. In neurological patients (e.g. M. Parkinson, cerebellar disease, paresis,
polyneuropathy), the “purely motor” weaknesses disrupt the assessment. CFT is a
"visuoconstructive" test that examines the perception of shape and the purposeful
implementation of a visual idea in a graphic program of action. Disorders of simple fine
motor skills are better recorded in other ways (Purdue pegboard, tapping). The rule applies:
The “trembling”, “crazy”, “extending”, “chunky”, “imprecise” of the strokes caused by the
motor are unthinkable in the evaluation. A Parkinson's patient's very crooked, shaky, badlooking drawing may well get a high score afterwards. This “thinking away” of the motor
disorder in the assessment is of course objective to a limited extent, but makes sense for
clinical diagnostics.
Since the memory reproductions - immediately after signing and drawn 30 minutes later are often casually thrown in and taken less seriously in terms of the quality of the drawing,
the second rule should apply: the two memory reproductions are rated "more generously"
than the first drawing.
New memory quotient : As an alternative to the Rey memory variable CFM, a new
"memory quotient CQM" is defined. Since the retention performance depends on how
much could be recorded as visual perception when signing, i.e. learning, the memory
score is related to the signing score. A poor initial performance when signing off should
be calculated in the memory score. This variable may prove to be a more meaningful
measure of visual memory. CQM is now proposed for the FNTP profile display. However,
the experience is not yet sufficient for the final decision. The raw score for CQM is
calculated from the sum of both memory performances (S1 and S2, raw scores), divided
by the raw score at the badgeninSo.Dhe quotient becomesmultiplied by 100. The agerelated T-scores for this raw score can be found in Table 9b (CQM).

All 18 sub-units are assessed both individually and in relation to the overall design. First, the
accuracy of the partial image must be checked (existing, correctly drawn, recognizable, only
hinted at, imprecise, not recognizable, missing ...), then the relation / position within the overall
shape is checked. There are the following combinations, which are rated with 2, 1 or 0.5 points:
Partial form considered in itself
Part drawn correctly
Part inaccurate / incomplete but still identifiable
Part missing / not recognizable
arrangement correct

The raw score for the variable CFM (memory) is the sum of the two memory runs (
memory &immediately after signing +30 minutes later). The maximum raw score is 72 if
the character is drawn from memory with absolutely no errors.
