Psychometric Properties of the Hooper Visual Organization Test

The psychometric properties of the Hooper Visual Organization Test (VOT) have not been well investigated. Here the authors present internal consistency and interrater reliability coefficients, and an item analysis, using data from a sample (N = 281) of "cognitively impaired" and "cognitively intact" patients, and patients with undetermined cognitive status. Coefficient alpha for the VOT total sample was .882. An item analysis found that 26 of the 30 items were good at discriminating among patients. Also, the interrater reliabilities for three raters (.992), two raters (.988), and one rater (.977) were excellent. Therefore, the judgmental scoring of the VOT does not interfere significantly with its clinical utility. The authors conclude that the VOT is a psychometrically sound test.

Key Words: reliability • item discrimination • Hooper Visual Organization Test • visuospatial • coefficient alpha
