title: Inter-rater reliability of the Rey figure copying test.
abstract: To determine the inter-rater reliability of scoring the Rey figure copying test, two raters independently scored copies of version B of the Rey figure completed by 17 non-brain damaged general medical patients and 23 stroke patients. There was very high agreement between the total scores for each patient (rs = 0.99, P less than 0.001) and there was agreement for all patients as to whether these scores were within the normal range. It is concluded that, though subjective, the standard system for scoring the Rey figure copying test can be reliable between raters.
