The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical characteristics and HABGT performance among Traumatic Brain Injured groups. Subjects were 87 Traumatic Brain Injured patients(23 Mild Neurocognitive Disorder; 22 Postconcussional Disorder; 21 Mental Disorder Not otherwise specified Due to Head Trauma; and 21 Dementia due to Head Trauma). All of them were diagnosed by DSM-IV. Psychopathology scales of HABGT were scored and clinical characteristics were investigated. In ANOVA, IQ, collision, closure difficulty, crossing difficulty, curvature difficulty, change angulation, perceptual rotation, simplification, fragmentation, overlapping difficulty, total score, reaction time showed significant difference among four groups. Discriminant analysis indicated that overall percentage of correct classification was 78%. Full scale IQ, verbal IQ, performance IQ, angulation, collision, traumatic site, hemiparesis were highly correlated with Function 1 which discriminate MNCD, PCD from DD. Limitations of the present study were discussed.
