Qualitative scoring method of the pentagon copying test (QSPT) [16]

Parameter	Performance	Score
1. Number of angles	10	4
	10±1	3
	10±2	2
	7–5	1
	<5 or >12	0
2. Distance/intersection	Correct intersection	4
	Wrong intersection	3
	Contact without intersection	2
	No contact, distance <1 cm	1
	No contact, distance >1 cm	0
3. Closure/openinga	Closing both figures	2
	Closing only one figure	1
	Opening both figures	0
4. Rotationb	Correct orientation of both figures	2
	Rotation of one figure (either one figure is absent or it is not a pentagon, then it is not assessable)	1
	Rotation of both figures (or both not assessable like pentagons)	0
5. Closing-in	Absent	1
	Present	0
Total	Sum of 1–5	0–13

Scoring criteria based on Caffarra et al. [16].

^aFigure is considered close even though two sides do not touch each other but the distance is ≤1 mm.

^bWhen there is no figure or figure is not a pentagon (then rotation is not assessable) the score is 0. When rotation is less than 45°, figure is not considered rotated. Tremor is ignored.
