However, The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology issues certificates based on two different tests. Most practicing psychiatrists pass boards which ask two-thirds of their questions on psychiatry, and one-third on neurology. A "true" neuropsychiatrist is an individual who passes the test version which devotes two-thirds of its questions to neurology.
