[Psychological test procedures for the elderly]

This paper presents our standardized psychometric inventory for the psychological investigation in the elderly patients: exploration, standard intelligence test, standard concentration-test, investigations into questionnaires of neurosis, screening-investigations of organic brain damage. The incorporation of information about the environment and its various effects in the exploration indicates the necessity for paying attention to the individual person-environment-relationship in psycho-diagnostic considerations. The necessity of psychometric methods in the diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in the elderly patients were discussed.
