Scores from 0 to 5. |
0 = cannot draw; |
1 = severe visuospatial disorganization; |
2 = moderate disorganization, incorrect time shown, perseveration, confusion between left and right, numbers missing, repeated numbers, clock with no hands, clock with too many hands; |
3 = Right visuospatial distribution but clock showing the wrong time; |
4 = Minor spatial errors with number; time shown correctly; |
5 = Perfect clock, with no mistakes. |
≤ 2 = CI. |
