What is the interpretation of the clock test?

The Clock Drawing Test (CDT) is a pen-and-paper cognitive screen that has been used by medical professionals for over 100 years to assess brain function. Understanding the interpretation of the clock test can provide valuable insights into a patient's cognitive abilities, including executive function, memory, and visuospatial skills. A clinician analyzes the drawn clock for specific errors and patterns to assess potential cognitive impairment, often as a screening tool for dementia.
