Intellectual correlates of the total score on the Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic Test were investigated for a sample of adults with epilepsy. The correlations between the perceptual test score and WAIS IQ and WAIS subtest scores were consistently significant for the men but generally were not for the women. It is recommended that researchers consider separate analyses of data for males and females.
