My initial neuro psych evaluation included percentiles on some tests but not others. It included things like:

"On the RAVLT patient freely recalled 5, 8, 10, 9, and 8 of possible 15 words... patient has had relatively poor across-trial recall consistency and was uncertain of the words he had said versus not said.
On the WCST the patient completed 2.9 conceptual categories (11th to 16th percentile). He made 27 errors (T=33), 21 of which were perseverative (T=21)."

This was followed by Impressions and Recommendations sections.

There is a book on this subject if you are intersted in details:

What Happened: On November 29, 2010, I was walking across the street and was hit by a light rail commuter train. Result was a severe traumatic brain injury and multiple fractures (skull, pelvis, ribs). Total hospital stay was two months, one in ICU followed by an additional month in neuro-rehab. Upon hospital discharge, neurological testing revealed deficits in short term memory, executive functioning, and spatial recognition.

Today: Neuropsychological examination five months post-accident indicated a return to normal cognitive functioning, and I returned to work approximately 6 months after the accident. I am grateful to be alive and am looking forward to enjoying the rest of my life.
