    The aim of this study was to define a shortened form of the Barcelona neuropsychological test to be used in clinical neurology. There was a selection of subtests from the original test and descriptive statistics of an enlarged number of normal volunteers. 341 normal subjects were studied, 178 male (52.19%) and 163 female (47.1%). Age mean: 54.80, SD = 17.44. Education: mean 9.0 years, SD: 5.4. Subjects were stratified in five groups considering age and education. Subtest were choose according clinical criteria and considering data from a previous study. Five different age and education scoring profiles were defined. This reduced version of the Barcelona test includes the main neuropsychological areas and it takes only 30-45 minutes administration. The Barcelona test meets practical standards in neuropsychology.
