Internal consistency reliabilities were calculated for the Tactual Performance Test Preferred Hand (n = 300), Nonpreferred Hand (n = 302), and Both Hands (n = 314) trials, and Total Time. Reliabilities are reported for the total sample and three groups: normal, undiagnosed patients sent for assessment, and alcoholic persons. The reliability coefficients ranged from .59 to .90.
