For years, Clock Drawing
Tests were only available when administered and
scored on paper. For speakers of languages, this
led to communication, administration, and scoring issues
and anomalies. There were constant questions
concerning the validity of such scores for speakers of
other languages.
As people live longer, there is an
increasing safety concern to screen their cognitive
abilities. Some people may have different forms of
dementia or trauma to the brain and not even know
it. They require periodic and rapid tests on
computers that only the
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™offer. For other people,
there is a desire to learn time or to keep an active and
healthy mind. For those who are speakers of
other languages, we offer a line of totally
computerized, rapid, and revolutionary testing tools,
the
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™.
The
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™
are NOW available in other languages, including Arabic, Chinese,
Spanish, French, and German.
The
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™
offers outstanding features. No other cognitive
screening test on the market compares to the
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™. In fact, we can
customize our tests to meet your language
requirements.
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™ are fast and easy to use.
All tests are fully computerized. Instant scores
and feedback are provided.
Our Online Clock Drawing
Tests are also a truly
green
approach to cognitive testing since no paper, software,
CD-ROMs, and DVDs are needed. Trees are therefore
saved and landfills are reduced when online tests are
administered on the Internet.

standard time (Times2Tell ™), for those who
know 12-hour clocks.
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™
are also available in
military time (Military Times2Tell ™), for
those who know 24-hour clocks, or international time.
According to a recent
article in the
Annals of Family
Medicine,
"....diagnostic tools, such as the
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™, will ensure equal access and
optimization of family medicine and medical specialty
services to all patients, regardless of culture,
disability, education, ethnicity, language, race, or

The Clock Drawing Test is one
of the most popular tests for cognitive impairment. Each
year, millions of Clock Drawing Tests are administered
around the world. We are pleased to offer the first and
only fully Internet-based, standardized, and validated
Clock Drawing Test, the Automatic Clock Drawing Test. We
also offer another widely used cognitive assessment test, the
Trails B Test. Together, these effectively screen for
cognitive impairment. We also offer other distinct tests
to screen a specific domain of cognition.
Since the clock is a universal
symbol of time, the Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™ standardizes clock-drawing
administration, scoring, interpreting, and reporting with
instant feedback. The Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™ is
rapidly administered on a computer. Individuals
with low vision, hearing loss, linguistic differences, or
physical inabilities, in particular, those who are unable to
draw or hold a writing instrument, actively engage in the
Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™. Supplementary
computerized verbal learning and memory tests describe brain
functioning and rehabilitation potential. Such tools can be
used to monitor long-term changes in patients after head
injury and to improve the recovery process 1.
The Automatic Clock Drawing
Test ™, Times2Tell ™, a multimedia and interactive product,
and the entire line of Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™
products, offer numerous benefits, including cognitive
impairment screening, brain fitness, mental health
diagnostics, treatments, education, and driver’s license testing applications. The
Automatic Clock Drawing Tests ™ are now available in several
different languages, including Arabic, English, French,
German, and Spanish, among others. The Military Automatic Clock Drawing Test
™, Military Times2Tell ™, is especially useful for individuals who know time on
24-hour clocks.
Studies show that the Automatic
Clock Drawing Test ™, Times2Tell
™, objectively and rapidly screens for cognitive
impairment and predicts at- fault collision involvement (5).
These computerized tests may also be used to improve
competence assessments of dementia drivers and others with
cognitive impairment 2. The
Automatic Clock Drawing Test
™ may be used as an independent
assessment tool for nursing home admission, assisted living
admittance, 24-hour retirement community care, or as potential
indicators of driving problems in the elderly or people
with brain injuries.
Other studies show that
the Clock Drawing Test differentiates cognitively normal older
adults from those with at least mild dementia of the Alzheimer
type and provides early indication of neurological
dysfunction.
Automated diagnostic tools,
such as the Automatic Clock Drawing Test ™, will ensure equal
access and optimization of family medicine and medical
specialty services to all patients, regardless of culture,
disability, education, ethnicity, language, race, or
socioeconomic status. Cognitive screening1,3. Brain exercises. Mental
fitness. Memory improvement.

Test ™ is the fastest test for cognition and visual

Testimonials
"Using
online testing systems, such as the
SpecialtyAutomated
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests
™ .... enable testing to be done more quickly, ensure that
the potential for tester bias is virtually eliminated, and in general
conserve time and resources. Seeing the
Automatic Clock Drawing
Test ™ work at
Mae Volen was
fascinating -- the seniors easily adapted to the computer-based testing
and appeared to look upon taking the test as a personal challenge.
More importantly, the results of online testing mirrored the results that
we know were obtained using the traditional assessments done of the
individuals who used the automated tests. And, in some cases the
Automatic Clock Drawing
Tests ™ identified individuals who had not yet been formally
diagnosed with a cognitive disorder. In sum, the
SpecialtyAutomated testing methods worked and worked quickly."
