Screen for Cognitive


Impairment With a
Revised Version of
the Most Widely Used
Cognitive Status Exam...
Mini-Mental State Examination, 2nd Edition (MMSE-2)
Marshal F. Folstein, MD and Susan E. Folstein, MD
Users Manual by Marshal F. Folstein, MD, Susan E. Folstein, MD,
Travis White, PhD, and Melissa A. Messer,MHS

With a new standard version that is equivalent to the original MMSE and new brief and expanded forms,
the MMSE-2 retains clinical utility and efficiency while expanding its usefulness in populations with milder
forms of cognitive impairment, including subcortical dementia.
The MMSE-2: Standard Version (MMSE-2:SV) is based on and equivalent to the original MMSE.
An even briefer version, the new MMSE-2: Brief Version (MMSE-2:BV), is designed for rapid assessment in a
variety of settings.
The MMSE-2: Expanded Version (MMSE-2:EV), a slightly longer version, is more sensitive to subcortical
dementia and to changes associated with aging, and is sufficiently difficult that it does not have a ceiling effect.

Equivalent, alternate forms (Blue and Red) of each MMSE-2 version have been developed to decrease
the possibility of practice effects that can occur over serial examinations. In addition, the Pocket Norms
Guide has been updated to include norms for all three versions of the MMSE-2 by age and education
level, and it includes reliable change scores to facilitate serial testing with any of the MMSE-2 versions.

Why Should I Use the MMSE-2?

Foreign language translations,


including Spanish for the US, German,
and Italian, will soon be available. Visit
our Web site, www.parinc.com, for
more information on the availability of
foreign language versions.

Flexibility of administration. With three different versions available, you can select the one that best fits you
and your patients needs.
Simplicity of scoring. Forms are user-friendly and easy to score.
Portable Pocket Norms Guide. T-score conversion tables, reliable change scores, and mean raw score
tables are provided in both the Users Manual and the handy Pocket Norms Guide.
Brevity. Depending on the version you choose, administration takes between 5 and 20 minutes.
Equivalent, alternate forms. Blue and Red Forms enable you to retest the same patient with reduced
practice effects.
Simplicity of administration. All versions may be administered by anyone who has been trained to test
individuals with cognitive impairment and who is familiar with the administration instructions. No special
equipment is required.
Clinical relevance. Items have obvious relationships to functional ability in daily life.

For more information on the MMSE-2, see pages 100-101.

Dear Colleague,
We live in an ever-changing and mobile world. At PAR, we remain committed to
meeting your needs with innovative new products that are geared to how you
work today. Therefore, I am excited to announce our first two products designed
specifically for use on your mobile phones. The Self-Directed Search (SDS)
Form R: Mobile Version enables your clients to take the SDS, a comprehensive
career exploration tool, on most Internet-enabled mobile phones (see page 247). The
new PAR Assessment Toolkit is a downloadable tool for iPhone users that puts
a score conversion calculator, a chronological age calculator, a stopwatch, a date
calculator, and more at your fingertips (see page 18).
In our previous catalog, we announced the upcoming release of the Mini-Mental
State Examination, 2nd Edition (MMSE-2), which retains the clinical utility
and efficiency of the original version while expanding its usefulness in populations
R. Bob Smith III, PhD
with milder forms of cognitive impairment (see page 100), and the Structured
Chairman and CEO
Inventory of Reported Symptoms, 2nd Edition (SIRS-2), which helps you
evaluate feigning in greater detail with expanded scoring and classification,
new scales and indexes, and a new Spanish Language Interview Booklet (see page 146). I am pleased to let
you know that these fine products are now available, along with the NAB Orientation Test and the NAB
Auditory Comprehension Test. The NAB Orientation Test asks examinees to respond to a series of questions
relating to self, time, place, and situation in order to assess disorientation (see page 114), while the NAB Auditory
Comprehension Test asks the examinee to respond to a variety of oral questions (see page 115).
If you have not yet had a chance to take a look at the recently released State-Trait Anger Expression
Inventory-2 Child and Adolescent (STAXI-2 C/A) or the Tasks of Executive Control (TEC), I encourage
you to do so. The STAXI-2 C/A helps you find out if a child or adolescent is harboring anger and how much he or
she is struggling to control his or her anger; it also helps you know if the anger is just a temporary state or more
like a trait, and thus, more concerning (see page 67). The TEC offers a unique approach to the assessment of
executive function by providing a standardized computer-administered measure of working memory and inhibitory
control; the software produces three types of comprehensive and useful reports (see page 93).
To find out more about our upcoming products and new releases, please visit us at www.parinc.com. And if you
havent already done so, become our friend on Facebook (facebook.parinc.com) for special limited-time offers,
information about upcoming conferences and workshops, and news about whats happening at PAR.
Once again, I thank you for your business and support.

R. Bob Smith III, PhD, Chairman and CEO

ASEBA Direct Observation Form


(DOF)
Now scored via computer with a new Assessment Data
Management (ADM) module, the DOF is a standardized form for rating observations of childrens behavior
in classrooms, at recess, and in other group settings.
During 10-minute periods, observers write narrative
descriptions of childrens behavior and rate on-task
behavior at 1-minute intervals. On-task and problem ratings are displayed on profiles of scale scores in relation
to gender-specific norms for children ages 6-11 years.

See page 46.

State-Trait Anger Expression


Inventory2 Child and Adolescent
(STAXI-2 C/A)
Adapted from the adult version of the STAXI-2, the
STAXI-2 C/A is a 35-item self-report instrument for
the detection of anger intensity over time in individuals ages 9-18 years. It is designed to be sensitive to
the developmental aspects of anger in children. The
STAXI-2 C/A is based on the Spielberger taxonomy of
angera widely recognized theoretical understanding
of the complex emotion of anger. With five scales and
four subscales, the STAXI-2 C/A provides a comprehensive evaluation of anger expression and may provide a useful accompaniment to a threat evaluation.

old. The program monitors accuracy and response
time throughout administration to produce six accuracy
scores, two response time scores, and two response
time variability scores for each of six tasks. Each task
consists of on-screen instructions, a set of practice
trials with feedback, and 100 timed-interval stimuli that
require responses.

With a new standard version that is equivalent to the original MMSE and new
brief and expanded forms, the MMSE-2 retains clinical utility and efficiency
while expanding its usefulness in populations with milder forms of cognitive
impairment, including subcortical dementia. The MMSE-2: Standard Version

NAB Naming Test


Now available as a stand-alone assessment, the NAB
Naming Test helps you quickly identify deficits in visual
confrontation naming skills and facilitates the diagnosis of aphasia and related disorders. Taken from the
NAB Language Module, this instrument uses digital
pictures rather than line drawings, leading to greater
ecological validity. Excellent for use with clients who
have traumatic brain injury, Alzheimers disease, or
other neurological impairments, this brief test allows
clinicians to repeat testing with an equivalent alternate
form, thereby reducing practice effects and enabling
easy progress monitoring.

NAB Memory Module Kit


Now available with all relevant information in a
stand-alone Professional Manual, the NAB Memory
Module consists of four tests that help you to
quickly identify deficits in an individuals learning
and memory skills, thus facilitating diagnoses of
dementia, traumatic brain injury, and other neurologic disorders. Two parallel, equivalent forms allow
you to repeat testing, reducing practice effects while
enabling progress monitoring over time. The NAB
Memory Module provides a marker of an individuals
verbal explicit learning, visual explicit learning,
verbal delayed free recall, visual delayed recognition
memory, and verbal explicit learning. A new Scoring
Program and Training DVD also are available to aid
in quick administration and scoring of the measure.

See page 110.

NAB Mazes Test


Now available as an independent instrument, the NAB
Mazes Test helps you quickly assess planning and
organizational deficits in individuals with frontal systems
dysfunction. This can be helpful for evaluating people with
a variety of neurologic disorders, including traumatic brain
injury, stroke, tumor, and degenerative diseases. Easily
portable, the NAB Mazes Test is ideal for use with clients
in rehabilitation, long-term care, and other settings. Two
equivalent forms reduce practice effects to allow for ease
of retesting.

NAB Categories Test


Previously available only as part of the NAB Executive
Functions Module, the NAB Categories Test helps you
to quickly assess concept formation, cognitive flexibility,
and problem-solving abilities. Examinees are asked to
generate as many two-group categories as possible
within a given time frame based on attractive and
engaging visual stimuli. In just 10 to 15 minutes, you can
evaluate skills associated with frontal systems dysfunction and gain information about an examinees response
style and abilities.

See page 111.

NAB Visual Discrimination Test


The NAB Visual Discrimination Test is an 18-item task that
asks the examinee to match a target visual design from an
array of similar designs. The task evaluates deficits in visual
perception using stimuli that are not easily verbally encoded.
Colorful abstract designs maintain examinee engagement
and a detailed Record Form guides the examiner through the
measure.

Originally part of the NAB Spatial Module, the NAB Design Construction Test
enables you to identify difficulties with visuoconstruction skills involving diverse
areas of the brain. This brief eight-item assembly task requires examinees to
use plastic geometric shapes, or tans, to reproduce each two-dimensional
stimulus, or tangram. An equivalent parallel form allows for ease of retesting.

See page 112.

NAB Numbers & Letters Test


Once only available as part of the NAB Attention Module,
the NAB Numbers & Letters Test is now available as a
stand-alone measure of attention, inhibition, and impulsivity.
Incorporating both letter cancellation and counting tasks, the
four subtests were developed to measure sustained attention,
psychomotor speed, selective attention, divided attention,
information processing speed, impulsivity, and disinhibition. Scoring Templates help examiners to quickly score the
measure.

Structured Interview of Reported


Symptoms, 2nd Edition (SIRS-2)
Retaining many of the features that made the original
instrument the gold standard in its field and now including
a new Spanish Language Interview Booklet, the updated
SIRS-2 features expanded scoring and new scales and
indexes to help clinicians identify the feigning of psychiatric symptoms. The SIRS-2 focuses on the evaluation of
feigning and the manner in which it is likely to occur, such
as an exaggeration of symptom severity versus a fabrication of symptomatology. The revised Manual updates the
malingering literature with special attention to detection
strategies and their clinical applications to feigned mental
disorders, combining data from the original SIRS validation studies with more recent research.

Leslie C. Morey, PhD

With its newly revised Professional Manual, Profile


Form AdultsRevised, and Critical Items Form
Revised, the PAI continues to raise the standard
for the assessment of adult psychopathology. This
objective inventory of adult personality assesses
psychopathological syndromes and provides
information relevant for clinical diagnosis, treatment
planning, and screening for psychopathology.
The PAI is unique in that all 22 scales are non
overlapping, promoting high discriminant validity.
Administration is faster and costs less than other
comprehensive measures of adult psychopathology.
It takes less than 20 minutes to hand score the scales
and the subscales.
The PAI requires only a 4th-grade reading level,
enabling individuals with limited reading skills to
provide accurate self-descriptions.
The new Professional Manual includes an expanded
discussion of administration considerations and a
variety of strategies for the interpretation of clinical
data to assist in the interpretation of the test. It also
provides a comprehensive review of the PAI reliability
and validity research that has been published since
the first edition was released.
The PAI Profile Form Adults and the PAI Critical Items
Form have been revised to aid in the interpretation of
test results. The Profile Form AdultsRevised contains
a blue clinical skyline indicating the distribution of
scores from a large sample of clinical cases, enabling
you to compare an individuals score with those in
the clinical sample. The Critical Items FormRevised
lists 27 items across nine content areas suggesting
the existence of behavior or psychopathology that
demands immediate attention.
Useful in identifying potential for violence, suicide,
aggression, and substance abuse.

A separate screenerthe Personality Assessment


Screener (PAS)saves time and money by
quickly identifying individuals who may be free from
acute psychopathology and provides rapid, efficient
screening for 10 distinct clinical problem domains.
The PAI Software Portfolio (PAI-SP) provides
unlimited scoring and report generation when you
enter a clients PAI item responses or raw scores.
The modular design of this system offers a variety
of modules for your specific assessment needs.
The software includes the unique PAI Interpretive
Explorer (PAI-IE) module, which provides hyperlinks
to pertinent definitions, supplemental indexes,
relevant statistics, and comparisons of client data with
appropriate normative and clinical samples.
No Scoring Keys Needed

Clients with 4th-grade reading skills can usually


complete the PAI in less than 1 hour, rating each of
the 344 items on a 4-point scale ranging from False,
Not at all true to Very true. Responses are entered
on a 2-part carbonless Answer Sheet. The bottom
page of the Answer Sheet provides scores for all
344 items. Scales and subscales can be scored in
only 15-20 minutes. Scores on the PAI are presented
in the form of linear T scores that have a mean score
of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. For situations
where no desk or tabletop is available, the handy
PAI Administration Folio holds both the Item Booklet
and Answer Sheet and provides a hard surface so
your clients can easily complete the inventory.
The PAI Software Portfolio (PAI-SP) provides
unlimited comprehensive, useful, and accurate 10to 15-page PAI Clinical Interpretive Reports or 2- to
4-page PAS Score Reports (see page 29 for more
information).

PAI Administration Is Faster and


Costs Less Than Other Comprehensive
Measures of Adult Psychopathology
Reliability/Validity

Reliability and validity are based on data from a U.S. Census-matched


normative sample of 1,000 community-dwelling adults (matched on
the basis of gender, race, and age), a sample of 1,265 patients from
69 clinical sites, and a college sample of 1,051 students.
Because the PAI was normed on adults in a variety of clinical and
community settings, profiles can be compared with both normal and
clinical populations. Combined-gender normative data are provided.
Reliability studies indicate that the PAI has a high degree of internal
consistency across samples (median a coefficients exceed .80 for all
22 scales) and is stable over a period of 2-4 weeks (test-retest stability
correlations range from .78 to .92 for the clinical scales). Validity studies demonstrate convergent and discriminant validity with more than
50 other measures of psychopathology.
Updated reliability and validity data for the PAI scales, subscales,
and supplemental indexes from independent studies of the PAI are
presented.
Development of the PAI

The development of the PAI was based on a construct validation


framework that stressed both rational and empirical methods of
scale development. This approach placed a strong emphasis on
the development and selection of items, as well as on their stability
and correlates. Of paramount importance in the development of the
test was the assumption that no single quantitative item parameter
should be used as the sole criterion for item selection. The PAI sought
to include items reflecting a balance among different desirable item
parameters, including content coverage and empirical characteristics,
so that the scales could be useful across a number of applications.
The clinical syndromes assessed by the PAI were selected on the
basis of two criteria: their history of importance within the nosology
of mental disorder and their significance in contemporary diagnostic
practice. These criteria were assessed through a review of the
historical and contemporary literature as well as through a survey of
practicing diagnosticians. In generating items for these syndromes, the
literature on each clinical syndrome was examined to identify those
components most central to the definition of the disorder, and items
were written to provide an assessment of each component of the
syndrome in question.

Software and Other Components

The PAS Helps Determine the Need for a


More In-Depth Assessment in Only 5 Minutes
Personality Assessment Screener (PAS)
Leslie C. Morey, PhD

Derived from the Personality Assessment Inventory


(PAI), the PAS is designed for use as a triage
instrument in most health care and mental health
settings, as well as in corporate EAPs and college
health services. The 22-item test can be an important part of initial client evaluation by health care and
mental health professionals.
To determine the need for follow-up with a full
evaluation of psychopathology.
To focus the initial client interview on specific
problem areas.
To target certain clinical areas for follow-up testing.

This self-administered objective questionnaire was


developed with reference to its parent instrument,
the PAI. The 22 PAS items are those from the PAI
that have been identified by extensive item analysis
as the most sensitive to the broad range of con
temporary clinical problems measured by the PAI.
The items are organized hierarchically into 10different Elements representing 10distinct clinical
problem domains.




Negative Affect
Health Problems
Social Withdrawal
Suicidal Thinking
Alcohol Problem

The 10 individual Element raw scores are summed


to determine the PAS Total score, which assesses
both the potential for emotional and/or behavioral
problems of clinical significance and the need for
follow-up evaluation with the PAI or another full
inventory of adult personality.
Individual Element scores and the PAS Total score
are transformed into probability (p) scores, reflecting the likelihood that the respondent would obtain
The PAS requires only a 4th-grade

PAI Interpretive Report for Correctional Settings


(PAI-CS) Module
John F. Edens, PhD, Mark A. Ruiz, PhD, and PAR Staff

Focuses exclusively on
corrections issues.
Qualification Level: C

Based on the PAI, the PAI-CS is a computer-generated interpretive report designed to assist correctional
psychologists and staff in the management and treatment of offenders. The PAI-CS identifies the possible
risk of institutional misconduct that the offender poses during incarceration, describes the psychosocial needs
of the offender, and estimates how the offender is likely to respond to incarceration and rehabilitative programs.
A unique Staff Management Summary is included to provide an integrated summary of the offenders PAI
profile in terms of his or her specific psychological functioning and institutional management factors.
A separate offender sample was collected for the PAI-CS. The PAI-CS provides T scores based on both the
PAI standardization sample (N=1,000) and the newly developed corrections normative sample (N=1,155).
Offender comparison profiles contrast the offenders test scores with (a) the PAI community sample norms,
(b) approximately 1,200 incarcerated offenders from multiple correctional facilities around the country, and
(c) offenders of the same gender.

Requirements:
Prior installation of the PAI-SP (V.3.0 or
higher); Internet connection or telephone

For Clinicians Who Want to Assess


Psychopathology in Adolescents
Personality Assessment InventoryAdolescent (PAI-A)
Leslie C. Morey, PhD

The PAI-A was designed to complement its parent


instrument, the Personality Assessment Inventory
(PAI ). Its development grew out of the interest
expressed by many professionals who wished to
use the PAI with the adolescent population in clinical
settings. As a result, the PAI-A closely parallels the
adult version of the instrumentit retains both the
structure and most of the items from the PAI. In
addition, the PAI-A demonstrates clinical utility with
adolescents ages 12-18 years in a variety of settings. The PAI-A provides psychologists working with
children and/or adolescents in clinical practice, in
schools, or in forensic settings with vital information
to assist in decision making.
The clinical constructs assessed by the PAI-A were
selected on the basis of their importance within the
nosology of mental disorder and their significance in

contemporary diagnostic practice. These constructs


assess experiences (e.g.,suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety) that are expressed with reasonable
consistency across the life span. In some instances,
PAI items were altered to be particularly applicable
to the experiences of adolescents, but of greater
significance in item selection was an items ability to
provide a direct assessment of different components
of the relevant psychopathological construct.
The self-administered PAI-A is composed of
264 items that comprise 22 nonoverlapping
scalesfour Validity scales, 11 Clinical scales,
five Treatment Consideration scales, and two
Interpersonal scales. Ten of these scales contain
conceptually driven subscales designed to facilitate
interpretation and coverage of the full breadth of
complex clinical constructs.

Personality / Counseling

The PAI-A Retains the Structure


and Most Items From the PAI
Special Features of the PAI-A
Fewer items than in the PAI adult version, making the instrument easier
to complete for adolescents.
Items are written at a 4th-grade reading level.
Takes only 30-45 minutes to complete and 15-20 minutes to hand score.
22 nonoverlapping scales assure high discriminant validity.
PAI-A scores are presented in the form of linear T scores. T-score
transformations are calibrated with reference to a U.S. Census-matched
community sample of 707 adolescents.
Extensive normative data also were gathered for a representative sample
of youth being seen in clinical settings.
Also availablethe PAI-A SP, which provides unlimited scoring,
interpretation, and report generation after hand-entry of item responses
and scores. See the next page for more information.
Standardization

The standardization of the PAI-A utilized information obtained from


two participant groups. The first sample was composed of 707
community-based students ages 12-18years in junior and senior high
school and college in 21 states. This sample is comparable to the U.S.
population (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2003) for gender and race/
ethnicity. The second samplethe clinical samplewas composed
of 1,160 adolescents from a total of 78 clinical sites. More than half of
this group was tested in an outpatient mental health setting, with the
next largest group evaluated in juvenile or correctional settings.
Reliability and Validity
Average internal consistency for the substantive scales (i.e.,all scales
except ICN and INF) of .79 and .80 for the community standardization
sample and the clinical sample, respectively.
Average test-retest stability coefficient of .78 for the substantive scales
(M = 18 days; SD = 5.77).

The PAI-A was validated against several popular measures of personality and psychopathology. These included broad-based assessment
instruments that served as referents for a wide variety of PAI-A
scales as well as more focused measures that targeted specific PAI-A
constructs. These measures included:









Minnesota Multiphasic Personality InventoryAdolescent (MMPI-A)


Adolescent Psychopathology Scales (APS)
Personality Inventory for Youth (PIY)
NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI)
Symptom Assessment-45 (SA-45)

The TSCYC Evaluates the


Effects of Trauma in Young Children
Trauma Symptom Checklist for Young Children (TSCYC)
John Briere, PhD

Following the success of the Trauma Symptom


Checklist for Children (TSCC) in evaluating
older children (ages 8 to 16 years) for exposure to
traumatic events (e.g., child abuse, peer assaults,
community violence), the TSCYC is the first fully
standardized and normed broadband trauma
measure for children as young as 3 years of age.
The TSCYC is a 90-item caretaker-report instrument
with separate norms for males and females and for
three age groups: 3-4 years, 5-9 years, and 10-12
years. Caretakers rate each symptom on a 4-point
scale according to how often the symptom has
occurred in the previous month. Unlike most other
caretaker-report measures, the TSCYC contains
specific scales to ascertain the validity of caretaker
reports (Response Level and Atypical Response),
as well as providing norm-referenced data on the
number of waking hours the caretaker spends with
the child in the average week.
The TSCYC contains eight clinical scales: Anxiety,
Depression, Anger/Aggression, Posttraumatic
Stress-Intrusion, Posttraumatic Stress-Avoidance,
Posttraumatic Stress-Arousal, Dissociation, and
Sexual Concerns, as well as a summary posttraumatic stress scale (Posttraumatic Stress-Total).
These scales provide a detailed evaluation of
posttraumatic stress, as well as information on other
symptoms found in many traumatized children.

The PTSD Diagnosis Worksheet incorporates


information from the TSCYC to assist the user in
evaluating PTSD criteria in younger children, and
provides a possible PTSD diagnosis in children
5 years of age or older. Different TSCYC scale patterns have been found to predict different forms
of trauma exposure in a published study of traumatized children.

The TSCC Quickly Evaluates the Effects of Trauma


in Children and Identifies Those Who Require Follow-Up
Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC)
John Briere, PhD

As traumatic events are increasingly visited on our children, there is a greater need to be able to evaluate their effects. Children who experience traumatic events (e.g., physical or sexual abuse, major loss,
natural disaster, witness violence) may suffer from posttraumatic stress and other related psychological
symptomatology. The TSCC, a 54-item self-report measure, can quickly evaluate those children who are at
risk and who may require follow-up care. Two validity scales measure Underresponse and Hyperresponse,
and six Clinical scales measure Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Posttraumatic Stress, Dissociation, and Sexual
Concerns. Eight Critical Items help identify children in need of immediate follow-up.

Evaluate Posttraumatic Stress


With an Easy-to-Administer Measure
Trauma Symptom Inventory (TSI)
John Briere, PhD

The TSI is designed to evaluate posttraumatic stress


and other psychological sequelae of traumatic
events, including the effects of rape, spousal abuse,
physical assault, combat, major accidents, natural
disasters, and childhood abuse. Easy to administer;
100 test items measure the effects of trauma, with 10
Clinical scales that fall under three broad categories
of distress (trauma, self, and dysphoria).
12 Critical Items help you identify potential problems
that may require immediate follow-up, such as suicidal
ideation or behavior, substance abuse, psychosis,
and self-mutilatory behavior.
In contrast to other trauma measures, three validity
scales (Response Level, Atypical Response, and
Inconsistent Response) assess the respondents
tendency to deny symptoms that others commonly
endorse, to overendorse unusual or bizarre
symptoms, and to respond to items in an inconsistent
or random manner.
High predictive validity: TSI scales predicted
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in more than
90% of cases (independently assessed) and 89% of
cases diagnosed with borderline personality disorder
(BPD) were correctly identified (in the psychiatric
inpatient sample).

All other TSI-A scales, including the three validity

Assess Symptoms Related to a Specific Traumatic Event


Detailed Assessment of Posttraumatic Stress (DAPS)
John Briere, PhD

The DAPS focuses on a


particular traumatic event
and its associated problems.
Purpose: Assess trauma
exposure and
symptoms of posttraumatic stress

Age: 18 years and older

Admin: Self-report; Individual


or group

Time: 20-30 minutes to


complete; 15-20
minutes to score

The DAPS is a 104-item, detailed and comprehensive diagnostic measure of trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress in individuals who have a history of exposure to one or more potentially traumatic events.
The self-report instrument assesses peri- and posttraumatic symptoms and associated features related to
a specific traumatic event. The DAPS also generates a tentative diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) or acute stress disorder (ASD) in considerably less time than is required for a structured diagnostic
interview. The diagnosis can then be confirmed by a clinical interview.
The DAPS scales include the three PTSD symptom clusters (Reexperiencing, Avoidance, and Hyperarousal)
and three associated features of PTSD (Trauma-Specific Dissociation, Suicidality, and Substance Abuse).
Two validity scales identify overreporting and underreporting of psychological symptoms. The Professional
Manual provides information about the development, administration, scoring, interpretation, and psychometric characteristics of the DAPS. It also provides data from the normative sample of trauma-exposed adults
from the general population, as well as two validity samples: trauma-exposed adults in a clinical/
community sample and a university validity sample.

Inventory of Altered Self-Capacities (IASC)


John Briere, PhD

The IASC is a 63-item self-report measure of


an individuals psychological functioning in three
important areas:
The capacity to form and maintain meaningful
relationships.
The capacity to maintain a stable sense of personal
identity and self-awareness.
The capacity to modulate and tolerate negative affect.

This brief measure was normed on 620 individuals


from the general population. It facilitates assessment
of critical psychological issues with individuals who
have personality-level difficulties and/or a history of
significant childhood trauma. The IASC is an ideal
component of a comprehensive assessment of
adult psychopathology. It helps to identify specific
targets for treatment, such as identity disturbance
or affect regulation problems; to predict potential
problems that may arise during psychotherapy,
such as idealization-devaluation or easily triggered

abandonment issues; and to provide clinical data to


corroborate diagnostic hypotheses, especially those
involving dysfunctional personality traits or disorders.
The IASC consists of seven 9-item scales, two of
which have subscales, and it requires a 6th-grade
reading level. Respondents rate the frequency of
occurrence of each symptom item on a 5-point scale
from Never to Very Often over the prior 6 months.
This instrument is particularly useful with adults who
have experienced clinically significant childhood
abuse or trauma.

Cognitive Distortion Scales (CDS)


John Briere, PhD

The CDS is a 40-item, self-assessment of cognitive distortions. It assesses negative thinking patterns that
interfere with optimal functioning. The CDS scales reflect five types of cognitive distortion: Self-Criticism, SelfBlame, Helplessness, Hopelessness, and Preoccupation With Danger. Respondents use a 5-point scale to
rate the frequency of occurrence of each item during the previous month.
The CDS Profile Form allows conversion of raw scale scores to T scores based on the gender of the respondent.
A profile graph can be drawn to portray the respondents scores relative to the scores of the general population.
Requires only a 5th-grade reading level.

The PIC-2 is a complete revision and restand


ardization of a highly regarded test used to evaluate
the emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and interpersonal adjustment of children and teens. It includes
two formats: (a) a profile with True-False items on
Response Validity Scales and Adjustment scales
and subscales and (b) a Behavioral Summary.
The standard, 275-item profile assesses the full
range of developmental, cognitive, adjustment, and
interpersonal issues, with subscales that supply
useful clinical detail and an optional critical items list
divided into nine content categories.
The Behavioral Summary is composed of the first
96 items on the test. Requiring only 15 minutes to
administer, this version can be used for screening,
research, or monitoring behavior change. Because
items on this form are in the present tense and focus
on conditions and behaviors that are responsive to
relatively brief intervention, the Behavioral Summary
is especially helpful in designing and evaluating
individual treatment plans. It can be used on its own
or scored as part of the full test.
The PIC-2 was standardized on ratings from
2,306 parents of boys and girls in kindergarten
through 12th grade. Protocols were collected from
23urban, rural, and suburban schools in 12states.
Participating parents represented all socioeconomic
levels and all major ethnic groups. In addition, data
were collected from a sample of 1,551 parents

whose children had been referred for educational or


clinical intervention.
Now Available! Computer Scoring

Based Assessment) preschool forms (CBCL/11/2-5
and C-TRF) span the age range of 11/2 to 5 years.
The Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems
scales are scored from both forms. In addition, the
CBCL/11/2-5 and the C-TRF are similar, making
comparisons between multiple hand-scored profiles
easy.
Parents who complete the CBCL/11/2-5 for their
children may complete the Adult Self-Report (ASR)
to describe themselves and the Adult Behavior
Checklist (ABCL) to describe their spouse or
partner. You can then compare parents views of
themselves with their views of their children.
The CBCL/11/2-5
Parents rate 99 items that describe the childs
problems and report the best things about the child.
The CBCL/11/2-5 includes the Language Development
Survey (LDS), which indicates whether a childs
vocabulary and word combinations are delayed
relative to norms for ages 18-35 months.
The CBCL/11/2-5 has a Sleep Problems Syndrome
scale.
The CBCL/11/2-5 scales are based on ratings of 1,728
children and are normed on a national sample of 700
children.
The C-TRF
Caregivers or teachers rate 99 items that describe the
problems of the child and report the disabilities of the
child, issues that concern the respondent most about
the child, and things that the respondent views to be
best about the child.
The C-TRF scales are based on ratings of 1,113
children and are normed on 1,192 children.

Assessment Data Manager (ADM)

The ADM software enables you to quickly enter,


score, compare, and save data from parent
reports, teacher reports, and self-reports. It has
cross-informant comparisons to help you efficiently
integrate multisource data for evaluations, interventions, and measurement of outcomes. The ADM
software displays cross-informant comparisons of
up to eight forms per client, including side-by-side
item scores and scale scores from each completed
form, correlations between informants, and reports
on whether agreement between informants is below
average, average, or above average.

The ASR is a self-administered instrument that
examines diverse aspects of adaptive functioning
and problems. The ABCL is a parallel form used
to obtain information about the individual being
assessed from others who know the individual well,
such as a spouse, partner, family member, or friend.
Profiles display scale scores in relation to norms for
each gender at ages 18-35 years and 36-59 years.
Includes a Critical Items scale. Both forms have
parallel scales for Substance Use, Critical Items,
Internalizing, Externalizing, and Total Problems.
Hand score or scoring software (ADM) is available.

Eight cross-informant syndrome scales were derived


from factor analyses of the ASR and the ABCL
(i.e.,Anxious/Depressed, Withdrawn, Somatic
Complaints, Thought Problems, Attention Problems,
Aggressive Behavior, Rule-Breaking Behavior,
Intrusive). Six scales were constructed to have
characteristics consistent with DSM-IV categories

The ASEBA older adult forms can aid assessment in a


variety of settings. To measure changes in functioning,
the forms can be completed at specified intervals to
determine whether functioning is stable, improving,
or worsening. The OASR is a self-administered
instrument that examines diverse aspects of
adaptive functioning and problems. The OABCL is
a parallel form used to obtain information about the
individual being assessed from others who know
that individual well, such as a spouse, partner, family
member, friend, caregiver, or health care provider.
Profile Forms display scale scores in relation to
gender- and age-specific norms.
Hand score or scoring software (ADM) is available.

Seven cross-informant syndrome scales were derived


from factor analyses of the OASR and the OABCL
(i.e.,Anxious/Depressed, Somatic Complaints, Thought

ASEBA Semistructured Clinical Interview for Children &


Adolescents (SCICA/6-18)
Stephanie H. McConaughy, PhD and Thomas M. Achenbach, PhD

The SCICA is a standardized clinical interview for


children ages 6-18 years. It was designed as part
of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based
Assessment (ASEBA), an integrated set of rating
forms for assessing competencies, adaptive functioning, and problems in an easy and cost-effective
manner.
The SCICA maximizes the value of interviews with a
flexible user-friendly protocol, along with self-report
and observational items rated by the interviewer.
Items are scored on empirically based syndrome
scales (i.e.,Aggressive/Rule-Breaking Behavior,
Anxious, Anxious/Depressed, Attention Problems,
Language/Motor Problems, Self-Control Problems,
Somatic Complaints [ages 12-18 years only],
Withdrawn/Depressed); six DSM -oriented scales;
and Internalizing, Externalizing, and separate scales
for total observed and self-reported problems.
Some of the syndromes have counterparts on the
CBCL/618, TRF/6-18, and YSR/11-18.
The SCICA includes a DSM-oriented ADH Problems
scale with Inattention and Hyperactivity-Impulsivity
subscales.
The following topics are addressed in the SCICA:
activities, school, job, friends, family relations;
fantasies; self-perceptions, feelings; parent/teacher
reported problems, and achievement tests (optional).
The SCICA also screens for fine and gross motor
abnormalities (optional for ages 6-11 years), somatic
complaints, alcohol, drugs, and trouble with the law
(for ages 12-18 years).

Both hand-scored and computer-scored profiles are


available.

The SCICA has demonstrated reliability and validity.


Weighted combinations of the SCICA syndromes
yielded 66.7% sensitivity and 80.8% specificity for
ages 6-11 years and 67.5% sensitivity and 92.5%
specificity for ages 12-18 years.
SCICA materials include the Manual, Protocol Form
for the interviewer, Observation and Self-Report
Forms, and Profiles for Ages 6-18 years (handscored or computer-scored). The Profile Forms for
hand-scoring accommodate both genders. The
SCICA can be used in a variety of settings such as
mental health practices, community mental health
centers, educational settings, and forensic settings
for custody evaluations and placement decisions.

Manager (ADM), see page 43.

Completed by the examiner in about 10 minutes,


the TOF builds on the information gleaned from
standardized assessment by providing supplemen
tal information about specific aspects of the childs
test-taking behaviors. The examiner completes
the TOF while the child is administered standardized intelligence or ability tests. The TOF includes
125 items that rate specific behaviors on a scale
of 0(Nooccurrence) to 3 (Definite occurrence
with severe intensity, high frequency, or 3 or more
minutes total duration) and also provides blank
space for the examiner to write his or her narrative
observations. The assessment results provide
supplemental data that is helpful with decisionmaking issues, such as eligibility for special education or admission to particular programs.

Provides separate norms for gender and age group


(i.e.,2-5 years, 6-11 years, 12-18 years).
Enables evaluation of test performance in relation to
problems documented during testing.
Scoring and Materials

Features of the TOF


The TOF capitalizes on standardized testing
situations and on examiners experience to obtain
samples of behavior that can be compared across
children and for the same child at initial and/or
subsequent evaluations.
Helps examiners document many characteristics that
otherwise might not be noted.
Efficiently documents examiners observations without
requiring written reports.
Normed on a sample of 3,943 nonreferred children.

Factor analyses of the TOF for 3,400 high-scoring


children yielded five syndromes: (a) Withdrawn/
Depressed, (b) Language/Thought Problems,
(c) Anxious, (d) Oppositional, and (e) Attention
Problems. The first two syndromes form an
Internalizing group, whereas the last two syndromes
form an Externalizing group. In addition, TOF items
are scored on the DSM -oriented Attention-Deficit/
Hyperactivity Problems scale, which is composed
of two subscales (Inattention and HyperactivityImpulsivity); these items are identified by experts as
consistent with the DSM diagnosis of ADHD. Results
may be scored by hand or electronically scored
using the TOF ADM Module (see page 43).

Easy to Administer and Score, the EDI-3 Creates


Clinically Meaningful Profiles That Can Be Linked to Treatment
Plans, Specific Interventions, and Treatment Monitoring...
Eating Disorder Inventory3 (EDI-3)
David M. Garner, PhD

The EDI-3 is a revision of one of the most widely


used self-report measures of psychological traits or
constructs shown to be clinically relevant in individuals with eating disordersthe EDI-2. The EDI-3 has
been significantly enhanced to provide scales and
composites for measuring constructs that are more
consistent with the psychological domains identified
as relevant to eating disorders by modern theories.
The item set from the original EDI, as well as items
from the 1991 revision (EDI-2), have been carefully
preserved so that clinicians and researchers can
continue to compare data collected previously with
data from the revised EDI-3.
The EDI-3 consists of 91 items organized into 12
primary scales, consisting of 3 eating-disorderspecific scales and 9 general psychological scales
that are highly relevant to, but not specific to, eating
disorders. It also yields six composites: one that is
eating-disorder specific (i.e.,Eating Disorder Risk)
and five that are general integrative psychological constructs (i.e.,Ineffectiveness, Interpersonal
Problems, Affective Problems, Overcontrol, General
Psychological Maladjustment).
Special Features of the EDI-3
Easily administered and scored, the EDI-3 yields 12
nonoverlapping scale scores and 6 composite scores
that can be used to create clinically meaningful
profiles that can be linked to treatment plans, specific
interventions, and treatment monitoring.
The EDI-3 has clinical norms for adolescents
in addition to U.S. adult and international adult
clinical norms. It also provides multisite nonclinical
comparison samples.
The EDI-3 Referral Form (EDI-3 RF) can be
administered in clinical settings as well as high
schools, colleges, athletic programs, or other
nonclinical settings to assist in determining if an
individual should be referred for a professional
evaluation. An EDI-3 Referral Form Manual provides
information on the administration, interpretation, and
scoring of the EDI-3 RF.

The expanded EDI-3 Professional Manual includes


extensive clinical interpretive guidelines with detailed
case examples.
The easy-to-use T-Score and Percentile Profile
Forms include critical item sets that allow for the
development of a more meaningful clinical picture.
The EDI-3 Symptom Checklist (EDI-3 SC) assists
with the systematic gathering of symptom data that
can aid in determining if the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic
criteria are met.
The EDI-3 demonstrates excellent reliability and
validity.
The EDI-3 uses a 0- to 4-point scoring system that
improves the reliabilities of some scales and yields a
wider range of scores.
A computer-based scoring program, the EDI-3 SP,
generates a detailed clinical profile and scoring report
for each client (see page 48).
EDI-3 Symptom Checklist (EDI-3 SC)

The EDI-3 SC is an independent and structured


self-report form. This form is easy to complete and
provides data regarding frequency of symptoms
(i.e.,binge eating; self-induced vomiting; exercise
patterns; use of laxatives, diet pills, and diuretics).
Detailed information regarding the symptom areas
assessed by the EDI-3 SC is necessary for determining whether patients meet the formal diagnostic
criteria for an eating disorder.

EDI-3 Referral Form (EDI-3 RF)


David M. Garner, PhD

The EDI-3 RF is an abbreviated form of the EDI-3 and includes the three scales that compose the Eating
Disorder Risk Composite (i.e.,Drive for Thinness, Bulimia, Body Dissatisfaction). In addition to the 25 EDI-3
questions, this brief self-report form includes behavioral symptom questions to identify individuals with
potential eating disorders or pathology. Referral indexes are used to identify individuals who have or are at
risk for eating disorders. These indexes are based on the individuals body mass index (BMI) only; on BMI
plus EDI-3 questions about excessive eating concerns; and on the responses given to behavioral questions
pertaining to eating-disorder pathology. A separate manual, the EDI-3 Referral Form Manual, is available for
use with the EDI-3 RF to help identify individuals who are at risk for eating disorders. The EDI-3 RF is hand
scored and takes only 5-10 minutes to administer.
Specifically designed for
allied health professionals.

Eating Disorder Inventory3 Scoring Program (EDI-3 SP)


David M. Garner, PhD and PAR Staff

The EDI-3 SP is the unlimited-use computer-based scoring program for the Eating Disorder Inventory-3
(EDI-3). After administration of the EDI-3, demographic information and item responses are hand-entered
into the software program by the clinician; the software generates a detailed, individualized Score Report
with raw scores for all EDI-3 scales for each client. Reports can be edited on-screen to incorporate additional
clinical information or to edit descriptive statements.

Saves valuable time and provides


useful documentation to assist in
treatment planning for adults and
adolescents with eating disorders.
Qualification Level: B
Requirements:
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7; NTFS file
system; CDROM drive for installation;
Internet connection or telephone for
software activation

Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2) client files can be imported into the software. The EDI-3 SP also produces a
table in the Score Report that includes the EDI-2 equivalent raw scores.
Raw scores, T scores, percentiles, and qualitative classifications are generated for each of the EDI-3 scales and
composites.
T-score and percentile profiles graphically display the clients scores compared to both the Typical Clinical range
and the female control group.
Information on weight, BMI, and weight history also appears on the Score Report.

MMPI-2 Profiles to Assist in the Assessment of Adults in
Psychological, Psychiatric, and Counseling Settings...
MMPI-2 Adult Interpretive System Version 3
(MMPI-2 AIS V3)
Roger L. Greene, PhD, Robert C. Brown, Jr., PhD, and PAR Staff

The MMPI-2 AIS produces a comprehensive


interpretive report based on a clients MMPI-2
scores on a variety of scales and indexes. It
describes the goodness-of-fit between a clients
MMPI-2 profile and the best fit prototypic profile. In
addition, it includes a configural interpretation of
the Validity and Clinical scales, an interpretation
of the consistency of item endorsement, and the
interpretation of other scales including the Content
scales, Supplementary scales, Harris and Lingoes
subscales, and Test-Taking scales/indexes.
The MMPI-2 AIS is not a scoring program. Rather,
you manually enter a clients MMPI-2 T scores or
import a scored Pearson Assessments data file.
Three statistical methods (Cohens rc, D 2, and
discriminant function) are used to determine the
best-fit prototypic profile based on elevation, shape,
and scatter of the clients profile. On-Screen Help is
available throughout the program.
Because the program does not score the clients
MMPI-2 results, it generates all possible interpretive
statements for the best-fit prototypic profile that is
determined for the client. Therefore, it is necessary
for you to review each interpretive statement and
to determine its applicability to your particular
client based on the clients actual MMPI-2
scores. The closer the clients profile matches the
best-fit prototypic profile, the more closely the default
interpretive statements for the profile will describe
the client. Although this necessitates some
editing of the interpretive text, it also ensures an
extremely accurate interpretive report. In addition,

the process of editing or modifying the interpretive


statements has been made more straightforward
in Version 3, with statements referenced to a scale
and/or an item.
New to Version 3 of the MMPI-2 AIS
Version 3 was developed on an expanded database
(i.e.,more than 150,000 participants) that provides
more specifically matched profiles.
Revised and modified interpretive scales/subscales
result in 381 potential prototypic profiles (55 singlescale and two-point codetypes; 326 three-point
codetypes).
Version 3 allows you to compare the clients profile to
the Restructured Clinical scales, Content scales, and
the PSY-5 scales.
Interpretive text is provided for test-taking behaviors,
individual Validity and Clinical scales, Harris and
Lingoes subscales, Restructured Clinical scales,
Content scales, Content Component scales,
Supplementary scales, and PSY-5 scales.
An entire chapter is devoted to clinical illustrations of
matching MMPI-2 profiles to prototypes to help you fit
your clients and to assist in situations where several
alternative codetypes should be considered.

The MMPI-2 AIS Version 3 allows


you to compare a clients
profile to the restructured
Clinical scales, the Content scales,
and the PSY-5 scales. Ideal for
use in forensic settings.

Constructive Thinking Inventory (CTI)


Seymour Epstein, PhD

CTI results are helpful in


psychotherapy and counseling.
Purpose: Measure the
beliefs and thinking
patterns that
underlie emotional
intelligence, coping
ability, and physical
and emotional wellbeing

Age: 18-80 years

The CTI is a 108-item self-report inventory that


assesses constructive and destructive beliefs and
thinking patterns. The CTI is based on Dr. Epsteins
Cognitive-Experiential Self-Theory. According to
this theory, people have two fundamental adaptive
systems: an experiential system that automatically
learns from lived experience, and a rational/
intellectual system that operates by conscious
reasoning. The CTI measures the efficacy of the
experiential system; intelligence tests measure the
efficacy of the rational/intellectual system.
The CTI cannot be hand-scored. A computer scoring
program is included with the CTI Introductory Kit.
The individuals responses are entered into the
software, and the program scores the protocol and
automatically generates a score report with raw
scores and gender-based T scores with a profile of
the results.

Admin: Individual or group


The CTI predicts a variety of desirable abilities/


states, including work performance, social skills, and
emotional and physical well-being.
It has been found that CTI scores also are helpful in
the prediction of academic performance.

Child Sexual Behavior Inventory (CSBI)


William N. Friedrich, PhD, ABPP

The CSBI is a parent report (mother or primary


female caregiver) measure of sexual behavior in
children ages 2-12 years. It is intended for use
with children who have been or who may have
been sexually abused. The test was developed in
response to evidence that sexual abuse is
related to the presence of precocious sexual
behavior in children.
The CSBI test booklet contains 38 items assessing
a wide range of sexual behaviors that covers nine
major content domains: Boundary Issues, Gender
Role Behavior, Sexual Interest, Sexual Knowledge,
Exhibitionism, Self-Stimulation, Sexual Intrusiveness,
Voyeuristic Behavior, and Sexual Anxiety.
The 38 items are written at a 5th-grade reading level.
The mother (or primary female caregiver) writes
directly in the test booklet, indicating how often she
has observed each of the listed behaviors during the
preceding 6 months. Each item is rated on a 4-point
scale from 0 (never) to 4 (at least once a week). The
carbonless form is designed to be hand-scored by
the examiner and includes a Score Summary box for
recording raw scores and T-score conversions.

The three CSBI clinical scales facilitate interpretation


of test results. The CSBI Total scale indicates the
overall level of sexual behavior the child exhibits.
The Developmentally Related Sexual Behavior
(DRSB) scale indicates sexual behaviors that can
be considered normative for the childs age and
gender. The Sexual Abuse Specific Items (SASI)
scale indicates sexual behaviors that can be viewed
as relatively atypical for the childs age and gender;
such behaviors raise the suspicion of possible
sexual abuse.
The Professional Manual provides information
regarding CSBI development, administration and
scoring, interpretation, normative data, reliability,
and validity. The CSBI was normed on 1,114 children
from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds in
the general population. CSBI data from 512 children
from child abuse centers also are presented.

Childrens Self-Report and Projective Inventory (CSRPI)


Robert L. Ziffer, PhD and Lawrence E. Shapiro, PhD

The CSRPI assesses a childs social-emotional strengths and weaknesses, elicits information about a childs
inner thoughts and feelings, and identifies emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal concerns in a child. Eight
individual components encompass nonverbal projective, verbal self-report, and verbal projective methods.
Two self-report measures have optional nonverbal response formats. Sentence completion items reflect self,
school, family, and peer domains.

Components can be used to


provide a complete picture of a
childs emotional functioning or to
investigate specific concerns.

Projective, gender-specific story cards depict family-, self-, school-, and peer-related scenes.
Two drawing and two coloring tasks allow for nonverbal expression; 20 clinical variables are suggested
for interpretation.
Administration takes approximately 90 minutes.

of an objective scoring system for use by clinicians knowledgeable about evaluating sexual abuse. The
test administrator asks the child to complete the two drawings, which are then scored for the presence or
absence of particular characteristics within four major constructs: Preoccupation with Sexually Relevant
Concepts (SRC); Aggression and Hostility (AH); Withdrawal and Guarded Accessibility (WGA); and Alertness
for Danger, Suspiciousness, and Lack of Trust (ADST).

Childrens Depression Inventory (CDI)


Maria Kovacs, PhD

Modeled on the Beck Depression Inventory , the


CDI is a self-report, symptom-oriented depression
scale with a 1st-grade reading level. It has 27items,
each of which consists of three choices. The child
or adolescent is instructed to select one sentence
for each item that best describes him/her for the
past 2weeks. The QuikScore forms automatically
transfer responses onto the scoring sheet to be
easily totaled and plotted on the profile form.
The CDI provides a Total score, as well as five
empirically developed factor scales that have been
normed according to gender and age: Negative
Mood, Interpersonal Problems, Ineffectiveness,
Anhedonia, and Negative Self-Esteem.
The normative sample used for scoring the CDI
was divided into groups based on age and gender.
The normative sample includes 1,266public school
students (592 boys, 674 girls), 23% of whom were
African American, American Indian, or Hispanic in
origin. Twenty percent of the children came from
single-parent homes.
CDI Short Form

The 10-item CDI-Short Form was empirically


developed to provide a quick and easily measured
assessment of a childs or an adolescents depressive symptoms. Generally, the CDI and the CDIShort Form give comparable results. With its low
required reading level, the CDI-Short Form (CDI-S)
provides a quick and effective screening measure.

CDI Parent and CDI Teacher Forms

Items on the CDI Parent Form and the CDI Teacher

Quickly Screen for


Depressive Symptoms
in Adolescent Populations

Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale, 2nd Ed.:


Short Form (RADS-2:SF)
William M. Reynolds, PhD

The RADS-2:SF provides a


rapid assessment of the
severity of an adolescents
depressive symptomatology.
Purpose: Screen adolescents
for signs of
depressive
symptomatology

Age: 11-20 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 2-3 minutes

Qualification Level: B or S

Derived from the Reynolds Adolescent Depression


Scale, 2nd Ed. (RADS2), the 10-item Short Form
is designed to serve as a very brief screening
measure of depression in adolescents. All items
on this Short Form were taken from the original
RADS2. This abbreviated version of the RADS2
provides mental health professionals with useful
information for making decisions about an adolescents affective status and serves as an indicator of
depressive symptomatology currently experienced
by an individual.
The RADS2:SF items use a 4point Likert-type
response format in which the adolescent is asked
to respond in the way that best indicates how he or
she usually feels. Items are worded in the present
tense to elicit current symptom status. The response
format assesses the frequency of symptoms that are
positive psychopathological signs of a depressive
disorder. Because of its brevity, the measure simply
provides a Total score with an associated clinical
cutoff score to quickly evaluate individuals who may
be in need of further treatment for a depressive
disorder or other related disorder. One critical item
helps to alert clinicians to an adolescent who may
be experiencing problematic symptoms that require
immediate clinical attention.
The RADS-2:SF was standardized on a sample of
3,300 adolescents that was well-matched to the U.S.
population in terms of age, gender, and race/ethnicity.
Normative data (T scores and percentile ranks) are
provided for the entire sample and also are broken
down by gender and age group (i.e.,11-13 years,
1416 years, 17-20 years).

Reliability and validity studies include a schoolbased sample of more than 9,000 adolescents and a
clinical sample that consisted of 298 adolescents with
DSMIII-R or DSMIV Axis I diagnoses.
The Professional Manual provides a comprehensive
literature review.
Case studies illustrate the interpretation and clinical
utility of the measure.
Carbonless, hand-scorable Test Booklet facilitates
scoring and interpretation.

Evaluate the Level of an Adolescents Depressive


Symptomatology Along Four Basic Dimensions...
Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale, 2nd Ed. (RADS-2)
William M. Reynolds, PhD

The RADS-2 is a brief, 30-item self-report measure


that includes subscales that evaluate the current
level of an adolescents depressive symptomatology along four basic dimensions of depression:
Dysphoric Mood, Anhedonia/Negative Affect,
Negative Self-Evaluation, and Somatic Complaints.
Interpretation of these four subscales is based on
both the nature of the depression domain and the
item content of the subscale.
The RADS-2 standard (T) scores and associated clinical cutoff score provide the clinician or
researcher with an indication of the clinical severity
of the individuals depressive symptoms (normal,
mild, moderate, or severe). Scores are plotted on
a Summary/Profile Form, allowing comparison
of elevations across subscales. Examining item
endorsement levels within elevated subscales can
provide further information about the nature of an
adolescents reported symptomatology.
In addition to the four subscale scores, the RADS-2
yields a Depression Total score that represents the
overall severity of depressive symptomatology. An
empirically derived clinical cutoff score helps to identify adolescents who may be at risk for a depressive
disorder or a related disorder. Data demonstrate the
ability of this cutoff score to discriminate between
adolescents with major depressive disorder and
an age- and gender-matched control group. The
six RADS-2 critical items are those that have been
identified as being most predictive of a depressive
disorder diagnosis.
Special Features
Restandardized with a school-based sample of 3,300
adolescents that was stratified to reflect the 2000 U.S.
Census data for gender and ethnicity.
Expanded age range now includes individuals ages
11-20 years.
Four factorially derived subscales reflect four basic
domains of adolescent depression.
Updated normative tables provide standard (T) scores
in addition to percentile ranks for the Depression Total
scale and four subscales.

Reliability and validity studies included a schoolbased sample of more than 9,000 adolescents and a
clinical sample of 297 adolescents with DSM-III-R
or DSMIV diagnoses who were evaluated in both
school and clinical settings.
The Professional Manual provides a comprehensive
literature review.
Case studies illustrate expanded interpretation of
subscale and Depression Total scale scores.
Carbonless, hand-scorable Test Booklet facilitates
scoring and interpretation.
RADS-2 Professional
Manual and Components

The RADS-2 Professional Manual provides information regarding the development of the original RADS
and the extensive research that led to the development of the RADS-2. The RADS-2 restandardization
sample included 3,300 adolescents, ages 11-20
years, from school settings in the U.S. and Canada.
Normative data (T scores and percentile ranks) are
provided for the entire sample, as well as by gender,
by age group (11-13 years, 14-16 years, and 17-20
years), and by gender for the three age groups.
Each age group included 1,100 participants; males
and females were equally represented. The sample
was ethnically diverse, reflecting the 2000 U.S.
Census data. The Manual also provides two case
examples to illustrate appropriate interpretation of
test results.
RADS-2 materials consist of the Professional
Manual; a carbonless, hand-scorable Test Booklet;
and the Summary/Profile Form. The RADS-2
items are written at a 3rd-grade reading level and
are worded in the present tense to elicit current
symptom status.

The RADS-2 is an ideal tool to

The SIQ and ASIQ Help You Identify


Individuals Who Have Suicidal Ideation
Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ)
William M. Reynolds, PhD

Because not all depressed adolescents are suicidal


and not all suicidal adolescents are depressed, it is
important to differentiate and treat those individuals
suffering from suicidal ideation appropriately.
The SIQ assesses the frequency of suicidal ideation
and serves as a valuable component in a compre
hensive assessment of adolescent mental health.
The SIQ consists of 30 items and is appropriate for
students in Grades 10-12.
The SIQ-JR consists of 15 items and is designed for
students in Grades 7-9. Both self-report inventories
may be administered individually or in small group
settings.
For many adolescents, the SIQ and the SIQ-JR provide a mechanism for informing adults/professionals
of their level of distress and suicidal intent. As such,
they can provide a vehicle for a cry for help without
the necessity of engaging in self-injurious behavior.
This is a very important consideration for both
the use and the interpretation of the SIQ and the
SIQ-JR. Adolescents who are thinking about suicide
may respond to these measures with the expectation that, in telling others of their suicidal thoughts,

people will take notice of their distress and act to


assist them. It is therefore vital that professionals
act quickly once critical SIQ or SIQ-JR scores are
obtained.
An excellent screening measure, the SIQ provides
an initial source of information on an adolescents
thoughts about suicide from which more detailed
evaluations of suicide potential may be obtained.
May be used to evaluate or monitor troubled youths.
Use to evaluate large-scale intervention/prevention
programs.
Reliability coefficients are .97 for the SIQ; .93-.94 for
the SIQ-JR.
Validity consistently supported in many published
content, construct, and clinical studies.

Clinical Assessment of Depression (CAD)


Bruce A. Bracken, PhD and Karen Howell, PhD

Includes theoretically
and empirically sound
broad-content scales and
specific diagnostic indicators.
Purpose: Comprehensive
assessment
of depressive
symptomatology

Age: 8-79 years

Admin: Self-report; Individual


or group

Time: 10 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The CAD is a 50-item self-report instrument that is


sensitive to depressive symptomatology throughout
the life span. It is closely aligned with the hallmarks
of depression in children, adolescents, and adults
depressed mood and anhedoniaas well as the
additional seven criteria for major depressive episodes listed in the DSMIV-TR. Composed of items
that are general enough to be relevant to children,
adolescents, and adults, the CAD simultaneously
provides content that is focused enough to address
the unique characteristics of children and adolescents (e.g.,irritability) as well as adults (e.g.,depletion syndrome characteristics).
CAD interpretation begins with examination of the
CAD Total Scale (CAD TS), continues with examination of the Symptom scales (i.e.,Depressed Mood,
Anxiety/Worry, Diminished Interest, Cognitive and
Physical Fatigue), and concludes with examination
of the Critical Item clusters (i.e.,Hopelessness,
Self-Devaluation, Sleep/Fatigue, Failure, Worry,
Nervous). Three Validity scalesInconsistency,
Negative Impression, and Infrequencymake the
assessment of response validity more efficient than
that of other well-known depression assessment
scales (e.g.,Beck Depression Inventory-II [BDI-II],
Hamilton Depression Inventory). A full range of
quantitative and qualitative data, including raw
scores, T scores, percentiles, confidence intervals,
qualitative classifications for the Symptom scales,

and descriptive classifications for the Validity scales,


is provided.
Special Features of the CAD
Consists of a single form that is appropriate for
individuals ages 8 to 79 years.
Represents a well-defined and theoretically supported
measure of depressive symptomatology.
Critical Item clusters identify behaviors with known
risk factors for potential self-harm.
Requires only a 3rd-grade reading level for
completion.
Rating Form may be hand scored or responses may
be hand entered into the CAD Scoring Program
(CAD-SP).

Total scale reliabilities range from .96 to .97 across


the entire age range, suggesting strong internal
consistency for the CAD TS. Concurrent validity was
measured via comparison with the BDI-II and the
Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale, revealing
moderate-to-high correlations for the combined
clinical and nonclinical samples.

Adolescent Anger Rating Scale (AARS)


DeAnna McKinnie Burney, PhD

The AARS is a 41-item psychometrically sound


instrument that assesses the intensity and
frequency of anger expression in adolescents
ages 11-19 years. The items are consistent with
behaviors identified in the DSMIV . Elevated AARS
scores can help to identify adolescents who are
at risk for diagnoses of Conduct Disorder (CD),
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), or AttentionDeficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Written at a
4th-grade reading level, the AARS is ideal for use in
schools.
Individuals indicate which behaviors they exhibit
when angered and how often each behavior typically
occurs; the 4-point response scale ranges from
Hardly Ever to Very Often. Scores are reported for
Total Anger and for three subscales measuring
aspects of the adolescents typical anger response
pattern: Instrumental Anger, Reactive Anger, and
Anger Control.
The AARS Professional Manual provides directions
for administration, scoring, and interpretation (including case examples), as well as information about the
development and validation of the instrument with
students in two age groups: middle school (Grades

68) and high school (Grades 912). Conversions


of raw scores to percentiles and T scores also are
provided by gender and age group. Five ethnic
groups were represented in the normative sample of
4,187 adolescent boys and girls in middle schools
and high schools. The Manual provides additional
information about the normative sample, including
grade average, number of suspensions in the past
year, number of friends, a rating of friends behavior,
and the primary person(s) with whom the adolescent lives.
Statistical analyses support the use of the AARS in
both clinical and research applications. Therapists
who employ anger control training may find the
AARS a useful measure of behavior change. The
AARS also can be used to help practitioners select
the most appropriate intervention program for the
specific type(s) of anger the adolescent typically
experiences.

of a Wide Range of Adolescent Psychopathology
Adolescent Psychopathology Scale (APS)
William M. Reynolds, PhD

The close match between


APS item content and DSMIV
criteria facilitates clinical utility
and ease of interpretation.
Purpose: Evaluate the
presence and
severity of symptoms
of psychological
disorders and
distress

Age: 12-19 years

Admin: Self-report;
Individual or group

Time: 45-60 minutes

Qualification Level: C
Requirements:
Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7; CDROM

The APS measures a range of psychopathology,


personality, and social-emotional problems and
competencies. Because it empirically assesses
the severity of symptoms associated with specific
DSMIV clinical and personality disorders, this
multidimensional self-report instrument is reliable,
valid, and clinically useful. The APS also assesses
other psychological problems and behaviors that
may interfere with an adolescents psychological
adaptation and personal competence, including
substance abuse, suicidal behavior, emotional
lability, excessive anger, aggression, alienation,
and introversion.
The APS uses a unique multiple response format
designed to conform to the nature of the specific
DSMIV symptom criteria. APS scores represent the
severity of disorder-specific symptomatology evaluated across different time periods. This close match
between APS item content and DSMIV criteria
facilitates clinical utility and ease of interpretation.
The APS measures three broad disorder-problem
domains: Clinical Disorders (20 scales), Personality
Disorders (5 scales), and Psychosocial Problem
Content areas (11 scales). The Response Style
Indicator scales (4 scales) include indexes of
response consistency, response veracity, and
unusual endorsement propensities. It has high
reliability, validity, and clinical utility, and it provides a
meaningful evaluation of a wide range of adolescent
psychopathology.
Measures six distinct anxiety disorders often
experienced by adolescents.
The Clinical Disorders scales measure the formal
diagnostic symptoms and the Psychosocial Problem
Content scales inquire about associated psychosocial
consequences and dependency issues.

Normative data included 1,827 school-based


adolescents stratified by gender, age, and
genderbyage.
Two product manuals provide information on inter
pretation, reliability, validity, and appropriate clinical
uses.
APS Scoring Program

The APS must be scored using the APS Scoring


Program. The program calculates scores for all
scales. It automatically generates a Clinical Score
Report that includes a summary of APS Scale
Elevations, APS Score Summary Table, a Profile of
APS Clinical Scales based on the selected normative comparison group, Critical Items Summary
Form, and the Item Response Summary Table.
Administration

After paper-and-pencil administration, the user


enters the adolescents responses to the 346 items
using the APS Scoring Program and selects the
appropriate normative comparison group. The software calculates scores for all scales and automatically generates a Clinical Score Report.

The Brevity of the APSSF Makes It


an Excellent Measure for Use in Schools
Adolescent Psychopathology ScaleShort Form (APSSF)
William M. Reynolds, PhD

The 115-item APSSF stems from the development


of the Adolescent Psychopathology Scale (APS)
and involved testing more than 3,300 adolescents in
a wide range of settings including schools, residential mental health centers, outpatient settings, and
individual private practices. It is a multidimensional
measure of psychopathology and personality
characteristics derived from the APS to evaluate
symptoms of psychological disorders and distress
consistent with DSMIV symptom specifications.
The APSSF consists of 12 clinical scales and two
validity scales. Six of the 12 APSSF clinical scales
focus on DSMIV symptomatology associated
with the following disorders: Conduct Disorder,
Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Major Depression,
Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder, and Substance Abuse Disorder.
The remaining six APSSF clinical scales are
not anchored to specific DSMIV disorders and
symptoms, but do evaluate related and important
domains of adolescent psychosocial problems
and competencies. These scales include Eating
Disturbance, Suicide, Academic Problems,
Anger/Violence Proneness, Self-Concept, and
Interpersonal Problems. The two validity scales of
Defensiveness and Consistency examine aspects of
response validity.
The APSSF is approximately one-third the length of
the APS and lends itself to applications and settings
where time or circumstances are limited or preclude
the administration of longer, more comprehensive
measures of psychopathology. In school settings, the
brevity of the APSSF makes it an excellent measure
for use in the prereferral evaluation of students who,
based on the results of this evaluation, may be
considered for more comprehensive evaluation with
the APS.

The APSSF is ideal for group testing, as well as


the brief evaluation of students referred to a school
psychologist or counselor for academic or behavioral
problems. In addition, the brief APSSF provides
researchers with a psychometrically sound measure
of important areas of psychological adjustment.
Addresses issues regarding school safety by
assessing excessive anger and propensity for
violence toward others.
Reliability of clinical scales is high and ranges
from .80 to .91.
The APS and the corresponding APSSF clinical
scales are highly correlated, ranging from .79 to 1.00.
Requires only a 3rd-grade reading level.
Takes only 15-20 minutes to administer.
APSSF Scoring Program

The APSSF must be scored using the APSSF


Scoring Program. The program is included with the
APSSF Introductory Kit. Simply enter the APSSF
item responses into the APSSF Scoring Program
and select the appropriate normative comparison
group. In less than 5 minutes, the program calculates the T score for each scale and generates the
APSSF Clinical Score Report that includes Critical
Item endorsements.

State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC)


Charles D. Spielberger, PhD, in collaboration with C. D. Edwards, R. Lushene, J. Montuori, and D. Platzek

Provides a useful measure


of the effectiveness of
desensitization and counterconditioning procedures.
Purpose: Measure anxiety in
children

Age: 9-12 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 8-20 minutes

Qualification Level: B or S

64

The STAIC is a self-administered measure of anxiety


for elementary school children, Grades 4, 5, and6.
It is composed of separate, self-report scales for
measuring two distinct anxiety concepts: state anxiety (A-State) and trait anxiety (A-Trait). The STAIC
is similar in concept and structure to the State-Trait
Anxiety Inventory (STAI), which differentiates
between state and trait anxiety in adolescents and
adults. Although especially constructed to measure
anxiety in children ages 9-12 years, the STAIC also
may be used with younger children with average or
above average reading ability and with older children
who are below average in reading ability.
The A-State scale consists of 20 statements that ask
children how they feel at a particular moment in time.
It measures transitory anxiety states, that is, subjective, consciously perceived feelings of apprehension,
tension, and worry that vary in intensity and fluctuate
over time.

The A-Trait scale consists of 20 statements that


ask children how they generally feel. It measures
relatively stable individual differences in anxiety
proneness, that is, differences between children in
the tendency to experience anxiety states.
The test was normed on 737 male and 814 female
4th-, 5th-, and 6th-grade students. The Manual
includes information about administration, scoring,
development, norms, and reliability. The single-page
test form includes the A-State and A-Trait scales
printed on opposite sides. It also includes complete
instructions for the test. A Scoring Key makes
scoring easy.

Revised Childrens Manifest


Anxiety Scale, 2nd Ed. (RCMAS2)
Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD and Bert O. Richmond, EdD

Widely used by school psychologists, clinicians,


and researchers, the new edition of the RCMAS
retains all of the features that made previous
versions of the test so popularbrevity, a simple
yes/no response format, an elementary reading
level, and content-based item clusters that help to
pinpoint childrens problems and to focus intervention. At the same time, new additions to this edition
include a convenient Short Form (i.e.,an abbreviated version composed of the first 10 items on the
AutoScoreForm), updated and ethnically diverse
norms, and new items that better reflect childrens
experience of anxiety in todays world.
Focus on Performance
and Social Anxiety

Like its predecessor, the RCMAS2 is a brief selfreport inventory measuring the level and nature of
anxiety in children and adolescents ages 6-19 years.
The test is now composed of 49 items comprising
five scales:




Physiological Anxiety
Defensiveness
Worry
Inconsistent Responding Index
Social Anxiety

Features of the RCMAS2


Test administration remains quick and easy.
Items are written at a 2nd-grade reading level.
Audio CD is provided for younger children and those
children who have reading or attention problems.
Normed on an ethnically diverse sample of more
than 2,300 individuals ages 6-19 years. Norms are
presented separately for three age groups: 6-8 years,
9-14 years, and 15-19 years.
An Essential Part of Any
Psychological Evaluation

RCMAS2 scores often lead to the discovery of more


basic problems. The scale is useful in evaluating
children for academic stress, test anxiety, peer/family
conflicts, and drug problems. Teachers and school
psychologists will find that the RCMAS2 is an excellent way to assess anxiety levels in the classroom.
Parents will find RCMAS2 results useful in helping
their children adapt to anxiety-producing situations,
both academic and social. With updated structure
and content, the RCMAS2 not only identifies the
problem but also points toward the solution.

Reynolds Adolescent Adjustment


Screening Inventory (RAASI)
William M. Reynolds, PhD

Requires only a 3rd-grade


reading level and takes only
5 minutes to administer.
Purpose: Screen for
adjustment problems

Age: 12-19 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 5 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The RAASI is a self-report measure that provides clinicians and researchers with a brief
and easytoadminister evaluation of adjustment
problems in adolescents. It provides indications
of the clinical severity of meaningful domains of
psychological adjustment problems. The RAASI
can be administered in 5 minutes to individuals or
groups. Slow readers or students with significant
psychological problems that may interfere with
concentration and completion of the RAASI may
require additional time.
The RAASI consists of 32 items derived from the
item pool of the Adolescent Psychopathology Scale
(APS). The RAASI renders an Adjustment Total
(AdjT) score and scores on four factorially derived
scales. The scales provide greater specificity as to
the nature of an adolescents psychological adjustment problems and include Antisocial Behavior
(AB), Anger Control Problems (AC), Emotional
Distress (ED), and Positive Self (PS). The items use
a 3-point response format with items scored Never
or almost never, Sometimes, or Nearly all the time,
and require respondents to endorse the response

that best describes how they have been feeling in


the past 6 months. The response format assesses
the frequency of signs and symptoms of adjustment
problems.
The RAASI is designed for use as an individual or a
group screening measure of adolescent adjustment.
It may be administered simultaneously to groups of
adolescents as part of a broad-based mental health
screening in schools or other settings. In addition to
school and clinical use, the RAASI provides valuable
information about the psychological adjustment
of adolescents in juvenile detention, correctional
facilities, and substance abuse treatment programs.
Other appropriate applications include the routine
screening of adolescents referred for health-related
and somatic problems, chronic medical illnesses,
neurological problems, family problems, and general
adjustment difficulty.

The STAXI-2 C/A Is Sensitive to the


Developmental Aspects of Anger in Children...
State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory2
Child and Adolescent (STAXI-2 C/A)
Thomas M. Brunner, PhD and Charles D. Spielberger, PhD

The STAXI-2 C/A is a 35-item self-report measure


designed to detect anger in children and adolescents ages 9-18 years. Based on the adult version
of the instrument, the State-Trait Anger Expression
Inventory-2 (STAXI-2), the STAXI-2 C/A is sensitive
to the developmental aspects of anger in children.
Like its parent version, the STAXI-2 C/A assesses
both state and trait anger along with anger expression and control. The STAXI-2 C/A expression and
control scales assess important dimensions that
facilitate the evaluation and the subsequent placement of children with specific problem behaviors into
groups based on distinguishable temperaments
and/or externalizing or suppressive coping styles.
Special Features of the STAXI-2 C/A
Distinguishes temporary anger states from more
trait-like or enduring conditions (e.g., whether a
temper tantrum is a hallmark of a personality trait vs.
a transient state-like event).
Enhances the ability to assess and diagnose the
spectrum of conditions in which anger intensity as an
emotional state is important (e.g., bipolar disorder,
intermittent explosive disorder, reactive attachment
disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, posttraumatic
stress disorder).
Assesses the degree to which a child reacts only to
specific negative events or more generally responds
to diverse environmental events.
Assesses a childs habitual anger coping style as
either externalizing or internalizing (i.e., suppressive).

Assists in the determination of whether key aspects of


a childs anger profile may be related to problems with
his or her health status (e.g., problems exacerbated
by intense and/or frequent anger suppression).
Written at a 4th-grade reading level, the STAXI-2 C/A
Rating Booklet is tailored for use by children and
adolescents.

Distinguish Between the Experience of


Anger and Anger Expression and Control
State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory2 (STAXI-2)
Charles D. Spielberger, PhD, ABPP

The experience of anger as conceptualized by the STAXI-2 has two major components: state anger and
trait anger. The STAXI-2 was developed to assess these components of anger and anger expression and to
measure the way these components of anger contribute to medical conditions, such as hypertension and
coronary heart disease. Studies on the nature of anger and its effects on mental and physical health guided
the development of the STAXI-2. To investigate the effects of anger on mental and physical disorders, the
experience of anger must be clearly distinguished from anger expression and anger control.

The Manual discusses the


potential effects of anger on
blood pressure, coronary heart
disease, and other medical and
psychological disorders.
Purpose: Measure the
experience,
expression, and
control of anger

Age: 16 years and older

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 5-10 minutes to


administer; 5 minutes
to score

Qualification Level: B

Fifty-seven items assess the dimensions of anger.


Includes six scales and an Anger Expression Index (an overall measure of total anger expression).
The State Anger scale assesses the intensity of anger as an emotional state at a particular time (three subscales).
The Trait Anger scale measures how often angry feelings are experienced over time (two subscales).
The Anger Expression and Anger Control scales assess four relatively independent anger-related traits:
Expression of angry feelings toward other persons or objects in the environment (Anger Expression-Out).
Holding in or suppressing angry feelings (Anger Expression-In).
Controlling angry feelings by preventing the expression of anger toward other persons or objects in the
environment (Anger Control-Out).
Controlling suppressed angry feelings by calming down or cooling off (Anger Control-In).
Self-report measure; 6th-grade reading level.
Assesses both the intensity of anger at a particular time and the frequency with which anger is experienced,
expressed, and controlled on a 4-point rating scale.
Raw score to T-score and percentile conversions provided for all scales/subscales by gender.
Detailed interpretive information provided for each scale.
Normative sample included more than 1,900 individuals.

For Clinicians Who Want a Projective Assessment


of the Structure and Dynamics of an Individuals
Personality Functioning, the Rorschach Is One
of the Most Widely Used Projective Tests...
Rorschach Psychodiagnostic Test Plates
Hermann Rorschach, MD

This complete set of 10 psychodiagnostic test plates was designed by Hermann Rorschach. Scores are
based on the examinees responses to 10 unique inkblots. The technique is useful in diagnosis and treatment
planning for individuals with a wide variety of psychological problems and psychiatric disorders.
The Rorschach Inkblot Test measures personality structure and dynamics, including cognitive, affective/
emotional, ego functioning, defenses, conflicts, and coping mechanisms. It is designed primarily for adults,
although normative data also is available for adolescents and children. The association portion requires
10-15 minutes; the inquiry portion requires another 20-30 minutes; scoring and interpretation can take as
long as 2 hours depending on the number and complexity of responses.

Principles of Rorschach Interpretation, 2nd Ed. is a comprehensive guide to using the Rorschach for
personality description. It integrates the basic ingredients of structural, thematic, behavioral, and sequence
analysis strategies into systematic guidelines for describing personality functioning and includes both recent
modifications in the Rorschach Comprehensive System and new evidence regarding the soundness and
utility of Rorschach assessment.
Principles of Rorschach Interpretation, 2nd Ed. is divided into three parts. Part I provides a discussion of the
basic considerations in Rorschach testing and addresses the conceptual and empirical foundations of the
inkblot method, as well as the critical issues in formulating and justifying Rorschach inferences. Part II is
concerned with the elements of interpretation that contribute to thorough utilization of data in a Rorschach
protocol: the Comprehensive System search strategy; the complementary roles of projection and card pull
in determining response characteristics; and the interpretive significance of structural variables, content
themes, test behaviors, and the sequence in which various response characteristics occur. Part III presents
10 case illustrations of how the interpretive principles discussed in Part II can be used to identify assets and
liabilities in personality functioning.

The RIAP5 Generates Both an Interpretive Report and a


Client Report to Facilitate Discussion With Your Client
Rorschach Interpretation Assistance Program:
Version 5 (RIAP5)
John E. Exner, Jr., PhD, Irving B. Weiner, PhD, and PAR Staff

Designed to assist clinicians with scoring and


interpreting Rorschach results for individuals ages
5-70years, the unlimited-use RIAP5 generates
a Client Reportan abbreviated, individualized,
and simplified version of the RIAP5 Interpretive
Report that is intended to be read and retained by
the client. The Client Report provides the basis for
a discussion of a clients personality strengths and
weaknesses, adjustment difficulties, and possible
need for treatment. This report is written in easy-tounderstand language, without jargon, and can be
easily edited on-screen.
In addition to the Client Report, the RIAP5 provides
a revised Interpretive Report that assists the clinician with scoring and interpretation. The clinician
enters the clients demographic information, as well
as background, presenting and diagnostic information, and the Sequence of Scores (i.e.,coded
responses). These codes may be entered using the
keyboard or the mouse; once entered, the software
takes over calculating the various indexes, ratios,
and percentages that are necessary for interpretation. On-Screen Help is included to assist with
program navigation.
Special Features of the RIAP5
Includes both an Interpretive Report and a Client
Report.
Scoring and interpretation are based on Dr. Exners
fifth edition of A Rorschach Workbook for the
Comprehensive System and Dr. Weiners Principles
of Rorschach Interpretation, 2nd Ed.
Protocol responses can be exported with RIAP5.
Enhanced Export feature allows the clinician to select
the protocols to be exported and allows greater
choices of export formats.
Allows either keyboard or mouse entry of coded
responses, accommodating the various skill levels of
Rorschach scorers.
Context-sensitive, cross-referenced Help System
provides clear descriptions of all coding errors found
and suggests potential solutions (each message has
its own Help button for further clarification).

On-screen access to interactive Form Quality Tables


and Location Charts facilitates navigation and coding
accuracy.
On-screen images of Location Charts match
the 6-image-per-card format used in Dr. Exners
Workbook.
Unlimited-use software automatically generates an
on-screen Structural Summary and Sequence of
Scores, both of which can be printed.
If a Structural Summary report would not be valid
due to a low number of responses, RIAP5 will still
generate the clients raw data and constellations, but
without any ratios, percentages, or derivations.
Offers the option to select which sections of a report
will be generated: Structural Summary, Sequence of
Scores, and/or sections of the Interpretive Report or
the Client Report.
Powerful database allows for multiple protocols and
reports for each client and facilitates rapid retrieval
of client information for both individuals and client
groups. The RIAP5 database allows the clinician or
researcher to calculate seven descriptive statistical
variables (i.e.,mean, SD, min, max, mode, median,
frequency) for any user-defined client group.
Rorschach Response Recording Forms facilitate and
document Rorschach responses.
RIAP5 On-Screen Help increases the programs
user-friendliness, placing necessary assistance and
documentation at the users fingertips. The Help
includes an in-depth tutorial section that guides the
user step-by-step from the creation of a client file to
printing the final Interpretive and/or Client Report(s).

Clinical Assessment Scales for the Elderly (CASE)


Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD and Erin D. Bigler, PhD

The CASE is designed to assist the clinician in


the diagnosis of the most prominent DSMIV
disorders among the elderly. The CASE consists of
a self-rating form (Form S), and an other-rating form
(Form R) that can be completed by a knowledgeable
caregiver (e.g.,spouse, adult child, home health
care worker, sibling). Form R is especially useful
to verify the information provided by the patient or
when the patient is unable to complete the assessment due to physical or cognitive difficulties.
Consists of 10 clinical scales (Anxiety, Cognitive
Competence, Depression, Fear of Aging, Mania,
Obsessive-Compulsive, Paranoia, Psychoticism,
Somatization, Substance Abuse) and 3 validity scales
(Infrequency, Lie, Validity).
CASE items are free of gender or ethnicity bias.
Patients and knowledgeable caregivers can complete
the CASE in 40 minutes or less. Scoring and profiling
are easy. CASE raw scores are converted to Tscores
using the age-appropriate normative tables. The
Tscores are then plotted on the CASE Profile Form
to provide a graphic overview of the patients clinical
status or a comparison of multiple profiles when
available.
Total normative group of 2,000 adults, matched to
U.S. Census data for gender, geographic region,
educational level, and ethnicity (normative data are
based on 1,000 each of Form S and Form R).

Construct validity of CASE Form S is demonstrated


by correlations with the MMPI-2, Beck Depression
Inventory (BDI ), Beck Hopelessness Scale
(BHS ), Cognitive Behavior Rating Scales (CBRS),
and both the State and Trait scales of the State-Trait
Anxiety Inventory (STAI).
Validity scales for Forms S and R include measures
of positive and negative distortion and dissimulation,
infrequently endorsed items, and detection of random
responding, failure to comprehend the items, and lack
of cooperation.

Roberts Apperception Test for Children: 2 (Roberts-2)


Glen E. Roberts, PhD

The Roberts-2 uses free narrative to assess two


independent dimensions: adaptive social perception
and the presence of maladaptive or atypical social
perception. The first of these is a developmental
measure; the second is a clinical measure. The
scales on the Roberts-2, refined for easier scoring
and interpretation, reflect both developmental and
clinical concerns.
The Roberts-2 provides a series of 11 pictures

Special Features of the Roberts-2
The Manual and test materials have been updated
and improved, making the Roberts-2 easier to learn
to use and better suited to daily application with a
wider variety of children and adolescents.
Card sets reflecting the largest U.S. ethnic groups
have been added and were used as an integral part
of test standardization and validation.
Coding categories have been clarified and better
differentiated.
The scoring sheets have been redesigned to provide
a more efficient use of space and a more intuitive
scheme for entering codes.
The interpretation section has been more fully
elaborated to include a scale-by-scale discussion of
score meaning.
Because it is standardized on nonreferred children, it
is an ideal way to assess developmental change and
situational crises in normal children.
The Roberts-2 Casebook is designed to help
clinicians integrate Roberts-2 test scores and
interpretation into school reports, special education
reports, and clinical case reports. Seventeen cases

children to help provide a grounded sense of typical

on-screen administrations.

The OMNI and the OMNI-IV are designed to provide clinicians and researchers with comprehensive selfreport instruments for measuring normal and abnormal personality traits. The 375-item OMNI measures
both normal and abnormal personality traits. It is composed of seven Factor scales and assesses 25 normal
traits (Normal scales) and 10 abnormal traits (Personality Disorder scales). The Personality Disorder scales
are based on the DSM-IV Axis II personality disorder criteria. A Variable Response Inconsistency (VRIN)
scale identifies item response inconsistencies and a Current Distress (CD) scale assesses the respondents
mental state during the 7 days preceding the test date.
Derived directly from the OMNI, the 210-item OMNI-IV measures abnormal personality traits and assesses
personality disorders. It is composed of 10 Personality Disorder scales based on the DSM-IV Axis II personality disorder criteria. A Variable Response Inconsistency (VRIN) scale identifies item response inconsistencies and a Current Distress (CD) scale assesses the respondents mental state during the 7 days prior to the
test date.



For use with normal adults and individuals with a suspected or diagnosed psychiatric disorder.
Self-report format; requires a 4th-grade reading level.
The OMNI includes all items that appear in the OMNI-IV.
Demonstrated internal consistency reliability and concurrent validity.

Administration and Scoring

Both the OMNI and the OMNI-IV can be administered on-screen using a Counter Serial Number, or the
clinician can administer using the paper-and-pencil Test Booklet and then enter the individuals responses
into the OMNI Software System, which is included in all OMNI kits. (The OMNI and the OMNI-IV cannot be
hand scored.) The software scores the inventory and generates an interpretive report that includes a broad
range of information about the individuals personality characteristics and deviations from normality using
the language and typology of the DSM-IV Axis II classification of personality disorders. You pay only if you
choose to administer the test on-screen via the Counter Serial Number.

NEO Personality InventoryRevised (NEO PI-R)


Paul T. Costa, Jr., PhD and Robert R. McCrae, PhD

The NEOPI-R provides a comprehensive and


detailed assessment of adult personality based on
the Five-Factor Model (FFM) of personality. The
FFM is a taxonomy of personality traits consisting
of five broad dimensions: Neuroticism, Extraversion,
Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and
Conscientiousness.
NEO Domains and Facets

The NEOPI-R is a concise measure of the five


major domains of personality, as well as the six facets that define each domain. Taken together, the five
domain scales and 30 facet scales of the NEOPI-R
facilitate a comprehensive and detailed assessment
of normal adult personality.
Neuroticism (N) refers to the chronic level of
emotional adjustment and instability. High N identifies
individuals who are prone to psychological distress.
Extraversion (E) refers to the quantity and intensity
of preferred interpersonal interactions, activity level,
need for stimulation, and capacity for joy. High E
identifies individuals who tend to be sociable, active,
talkative, person oriented, optimistic, fun loving, and
affectionate.
Openness to Experience (O) refers to the active
seeking and appreciation of experiences for their own
sake. High O identifies individuals who are curious,
imaginative, and willing to entertain novel ideas and
unconventional values.
Agreeableness (A) refers to the kinds of interactions
an individual prefers along a continuum from
compassion to antagonism. High A identifies
individuals who tend to be softhearted, good natured,
trusting, helpful, forgiving, and altruistic.
Conscientiousness (C) assesses the degree of
organization, persistence, control, and motivation in
goal-directed behavior. High C identifies individuals
who tend to be organized, reliable, hard-working,
self-directed, punctual, scrupulous, ambitious, and
perseverant.

Administration/Scoring

The NEOPI-R is self-administered and is available


in two parallel versions. Each version contains
240items and 3 validity items, and requires a
6th-grade reading level. Form S, designed for selfreports, is appropriate for use with adults, including
individuals of college age. Form R, designed for
observer reports, is written in the third person for
peer, spouse, or expert ratings. It can be used as an
alternative measure or as a supplement to selfreports from adult clients. The two-part carbonless
Answer Sheet, usable with either form, eliminates
the need for separate scoring keys or templates and
the self-carbon page of the Answer Sheet contains
item values for rapid computation of scale raw scores.
The NEO PI-R also can be scored and/or administered electronically using the NEO Software System.

For a Quick, Reliable, and Accurate


Measure of Personality, Use the NEO-FFI...
NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI)
Paul T. Costa, Jr., PhD and Robert R. McCrae, PhD

Provides college-age norms,


making it ideal for use in college
and university counseling centers.
Purpose: Quick five-factor
measure of
personality

Age: 17 years and older

Admin: Self- and observer


report; Individual or
group

Time: 10-15 minutes

Qualification Level: B or S
Note:
If you are purchasing the NEO-FFI for
the first time, we recommend ordering
the NEO PI-R Professional Manual
(item#0D-2027-TM).
Scoring software available
See page 79 for information on the NEO
Software System.

This shortened version of the NEO PI-R provides


a quick and accurate measure of the five domains
of adult personality. It is especially useful when time
is limited and global information on personality is
sufficient. The NEO-FFI can help you understand
an individuals basic emotional, interpersonal,
experiential, attitudinal, and motivational styles. It
also can help you quickly develop rapport with the
examinee, provide meaningful feedback and insight
that will help him or her develop a greater selfunderstanding, enable you to anticipate the course
of therapy, and help you select the optimal treatment
based on his or her personality.
The NEO-FFI materials have been developed
to increase the versatility of the measure and to
provide clinicians and researchers greater access to
the wealth of normative information that is currently
available for the instrument.
The NEO-FFI Offers Several
Forms to Suit Your Needs
Form S Test Booklet for Adults: The revised self-report
Test Booklet allows you to choose T scores from the
male sample, the female sample, or the combined
sample; the original instrument provided only genderbased T scores.
Form S Test Booklet for College Students: This Test
Booklet offers a self-report version of the NEO-FFI
that provides college-age norms (ages 17-20 years)
for the derivation of T scores.

Form R Test Booklet for Women: This observer report


Test Booklet allows you to obtain T scores based on
either the NEO-FFI female sample or the NEO-FFI
combined sample.
Form R Test Booklet for Men: This observer report
Test Booklet allows you to obtain T scores based on
either the NEO-FFI male sample or the NEO-FFI
combined sample.

A brief supplement (Materials Update) directs


you to the appropriate location in the NEO PI-R
Professional Manual for psychometric and technical
information about the NEO-FFI additions.

NEO Software System With NEO PI-R,


NEO-FFI, and NEO PDR Modules
Paul T. Costa, Jr., PhD, Robert R. McCrae, PhD, PsyPro Corporation, and PAR Staff

The NEO Software System is a modular system that


allows you to generate free unlimited Interpretive
Reports when you input responses from a completed print administration. You also may administer
either the NEO PI-R or NEO-FFI on-screen via
a Serial Counter. The software will generate the
NEOPI-R, NEO-FFI, or NEO PDR Interpretive
Report and/or the appropriate client feedback report.
The NEO PI-R Interpretive Report includes a
T-score profile and data table; validity indexes; a
global description of the Five Factors with detailed
interpretation of the individual facets; personality
correlates with possible implications; clinical hypotheses regarding Axis II disorders with treatment
implications; and information about somatic complaints, coping and defense mechanisms, cognitive
processes, and personal needs and motivations.
The NEO-FFI Form S Interpretive Report includes
a T-score profile and data table, validity indexes, a
global description of the Five Factors, and personality correlates with possible implications. A separate
section of the report presents style graphs of the
five personality domains in terms of 10 personality
styles: Well-Being, Defense, Anger Control, Impulse
Control, Interests, Interactions, Activity, Attitudes,
Learning, and Character.
The Updated NEO Professional
Development Report Is Ideal for
Human Resources Settings

Written by an experienced team of management


consultants, the NEO PDR addresses the personal
characteristics that have the highest potential for
yielding job-relevant information. It was specifically
designed to function as a tool both for management
planning and for promoting individual growth and
development. Two reports are generated for each
individual who takes the testthe Management
Planning Report and the Individual Planning Report.
Written in a positive, developmental tone, each
report contains a summary of the clients most
distinctive characteristics with an explanation of
how those characteristics may work to his or her
advantage or disadvantage in an organizational
setting. In addition, each report provides observations about the individuals strengths and limitations
in four critical areas: problem-solving skills; planning,
organizing, and implementation skills; style of relating to others; and personal style.

With unlimited report generation, the NEO PDR


provides profile matching ability that is particularly
helpful for interpretation. The graphic presentation
provides an informative picture of how well the job
fits the client. It also provides numerous opportunities for discussing with the client which differences
in the profile might be beneficial in a particular situation, and which deviations might be more serious
than would appear at first glance.

Paulhus Deception Scales (PDS):


The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding
Delroy L. Paulhus, PhD

The PDS, formerly known as the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding, is a 40-item self-report
instrument that measures the tendency to give socially desirable responses. The PDS is useful in identifying
individuals who distort their responses and for evaluating the honesty of their responses, as it is administered
concurrently with other instruments.
The PDS takes only 5-7 minutes for the respondent to complete. Items are phrased in contemporary,
gender-neutral language and measure the two major forms of socially desirable responding: Impression
Management (IM) and Self-Deceptive Enhancement (SDE). The IM scale provides information on the
tendency of some respondents to consciously respond to items in an attempt to make themselves appear
favorably to whomever interprets their results. The SDE scale provides information on the tendency of some
respondents to provide agreeable self-profiles that are due to an overly confident, yet inaccurate, self-regard.
Using the QuikScore form, you can simply and easily score the PDS in less than 5 minutes and use the
attached Profile Form and conversion table to convert raw scores to T scores. The PDS is appropriate for use
in numerous clinical, forensic, and personnel selection contexts.

Measures of Psychosocial Development (MPD)


Gwen A. Hawley, PhD

This Eriksonian-based instrument provides a measure of the positive and negative attitudes associated
with each of the eight developmental stages, the status of conflict resolution at each stage, and an index of
overall psychosocial health. Because interpretation focuses on healthy personality development and growth
instead of pathology, the MPD is useful in a variety of clinical, counseling, training, and research settings.
The MPD consists of 27 scales. Attitudes that describe the basic dimensions of personality are measured by
8 Positive and 8 Negative scales. The direction and degree of resolution between the Positive and Negative
scales is reflected in the 8 Resolution scales. Three Total scales provide measures of overall psychosocial
adjustment. Users respond to the 112 items on a separate Answer Sheet using a 5-point scale ranging from
Very Much Like Me to Not At All Like Me. Results are reported as T scores or percentiles, and can be plotted
on profile forms by gender and by age group, ranging from age 13 to 50 years and older.
The MPD was normed on a sample of 2,480 males and females ages 13-86 years. Test-retest reliability
coefficients for the MPD scales uniformly approach or exceed .80 with one exception (.67). Alpha coefficients
for the Positive and Negative scales range from .65 to .84.

Multidimensional Self Concept Scale (MSCS)


Bruce A. Bracken, PhD

Assesses self-concept and


six important areas of
psychosocial functioning in
youth and adolescents.
Purpose: Assess self-concept
and social-emotional
functioning

Age: 9-19 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 20 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The MSCS is a standardized clinical instrument that assesses global self-concept and six context-dependent
self-concept domains that are functionally and theoretically important in the social-emotional adjustment of
youth and adolescents. The six domains assessed by the MSCS include the six most important areas of
psychosocial functioning for youths and adolescents (Social, Competence, Affect, Academic, Family, and
Physical).
The MSCS is intended to be used as both a screening instrument and a comprehensive diagnostic scale.
It can be combined with other instruments to assess the childs/adolescents global self-concept and specific
areas of social-emotional functioning. The MSCS can contribute to a broader understanding of the child/
adolescent by allowing context-dependent contrasts to be made across various constructs (e.g., intelligence,
achievement, adaptive behavior, creativity, social-emotional functioning).
The MSCS can be administered in approximately 20 minutes, either to individuals or to groups. The scale is
simple to score; interpretation allows for both norm-referenced and interchild comparisons across each of the
six scales. Scores are reported as standard scores (M = 100, SD = 15) or as T scores (M = 50, SD = 10) and
can be graphically displayed for ease of interpretation.
Each MSCS subscale evidences very high reliability (a >.90); the Total scale score reliability exceeds .97 for
the total sample. The MSCS correlates very strongly with other measures of self-concept and self-esteem
and has been shown empirically to identify clients who were previously identified as being low in self
concept. Several concurrent validity studies were conducted during the MSCS development and are
presented in the Examiners Manual.

The Symptom Assessment45 Questionnaire (SA-45)


Strategic Advantage, Inc.

Can be administered and scored


by individuals who do not have
advanced formal training in clinical
psychology or psychometrics.
Purpose: Measure psychiatric
symptomatology

Age: 13 years and older

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 10 minutes

Qualification Level: B or S

82

The SA-45 provides a quick, cost-effective, and comprehensive measure of psychiatric symptomatology.
Using a 5-point level-of-severity scale, the SA-45 measures:
Anxiety
Phobic Anxiety
Interpersonal Sensitivity
Hostility
Somatization
Paranoid Ideation
Obsessive-Compulsivity
Depression
Psychoticism
An index of Global Severity and a Positive Symptom Total also can be obtained from SA-45 results. These
indexes are helpful in assessing overall symptomatology. Scored relative to a normative database of over
18,000 individuals, the SA-45 provides normative group-specific data for males and females, inpatients and
nonpatients, and adolescents and adults.
The SA-45 is a highly reliable and valid self-report measure that can be administered and scored by
individuals who do not necessarily have advanced formal training in clinical psychology or psychometrics,
making it especially easy to administer to large groups. In fact, it has already become a key component of the
instrumentation employed in treatment outcome studies at more than 100 behavioral healthcare facilities.
The kit includes a Technical Manual, which provides information on the administration of the instrument,
interpretation of scores, and development of the SA-45, plus 25 QuikScore Forms.

Piers-Harris Childrens Self-Concept Scale, 2nd Ed.


(PHCSCS-2)
Ellen V. Piers, PhD, Dale B. Harris, PhD, and David S. Herzberg, PhD

Like the original scale, the PHCSCS-2 assesses self-concept and quickly identifies those individuals who
need further testing or treatment. Unlike many other measures of self-concept, the PHCSCS-2 is based on
the individuals own perceptions rather than the observations of parents or teachers. Test items are simple
descriptive statements, written at a 3rd-grade reading level. Test-takers indicate whether each item applies to
them by selecting a yes or no response.
The PHCSCS-2 provides a Total Score that reflects overall self-concept, plus subscale scores (Behavioral
Adjustment, Freedom from Anxiety, Happiness and Satisfaction, Intellectual and School Status, Physical
Appearance and Attributes, and Popularity) that permit more detailed interpretation. Two validity scales
identify inconsistent responding and a tendency to answer without regard to item content. Because the
revised scales remain psychometrically equivalent to the original scales, results from the PHCSCS-2 can be
compared, for research or clinical purposes, to those obtained using the original test.
The PHCSCS-2 may be used for routine classroom screening to identify individuals who might benefit from
additional evaluation. It also is useful in clinical settings to determine specific areas of conflict, typical coping
and defense mechanisms, and appropriate intervention techniques.
Special Features of the PHCSCS-2
A larger, more diverse standardization sample: 1,387 students from districts throughout the U.S.
Expanded age range (7-18 years).
Length has been reduced from 80 to 60 items; there are no new or reassigned items, so the revision is completely
compatible with the original PHCSCS.

Culture Free Self-Esteem Inventories, 3rd Ed. (CFSEI-3)


James Battle, PhD

Identifies individuals
with self-esteem problems.
Purpose: Assess level of selfesteem

Age: 6-18.11 years

Admin: Self-report;
Individual or group

Time: 15-20 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The revised CFSEI-3 is a set of self-report inventories used to determine the level of self-esteem in students
ages 6-18.11 years. It can be used to identify children and adolescents in need of psychological assistance
due to self-esteem problems, assess therapeutic progress, and evaluate post-therapy effects.
For this revised edition, three new age-appropriate forms were developed: Primary (ages 6-8 years),
Intermediate (ages 9-12 years), and Adolescent (ages 13-18 years). All three forms of the inventory provide
a Global Self-Esteem Quotient (GSEQ). The Intermediate and Adolescent Forms provide self-esteem scores
in four areas: Academic, General, Parental/Home, and Social. The Adolescent Form provides an additional
self-esteem score: Personal Self-Esteem. A defensive measure also is provided to assess the extent to which
an individuals responses are guarded.
The CFSEI-3 is easy to administer and score. It can be administered to individuals or groups in 15-20
minutes. Responses (simple yes-or-no answers) can be either written or spoken. The newly designed Profile/
Scoring Forms are easy to use.
Standardized on a sample of 1,727 individuals from 17 states; the normative group was stratified on the basis of
geographic region, gender, race, rural or urban residence, ethnicity, family income, parent education, and disability.
Highly reliable (average internal consistency coefficients range from .81 to .93; time sampling coefficients range
from .72 to .98).
Correlates strongly with other measures of self-esteem and self-concept.
Assesses self-esteem in a culturally fair manner.

The Multidimensional Self-Esteem Inventory (MSEI)


Edward J. OBrien, PhD and Seymour Epstein, PhD

Measures self-esteem in adults.


Purpose: Measure global selfesteem and its eight
components

Age: Adults

Admin: Individual

Time: 15-30 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The MSEI, based on a coherent model of self-concept and self-esteem, measures global self-esteem and
its eight components: Competence, Lovability, Likability, Personal Power, Self-Control, Moral Self-Approval,
Body Appearance, and Body Functioning.
The MSEI also contains two unique scales: Identity Integration measures global self-concept; Defensive
Self-Enhancement differentiates between truly high and defensively high self-esteem.
The 4-page Test Booklet contains two parts. In Part 1, respondents report how accurately each of 61 items
describes them. In Part 2, they report how frequently they experience each of an additional 55 items. The
responses are entered on a two-part carbonless Rating Form. The Profile Form yields a graph of the scores
with T scores and percentiles by gender.
The MSEI was normed on 785 college students. All scales, except Defensive Self-Enhancement, demonstrated internal consistency reliability coefficients of .80 or higher. Gender differences occurred on all scales
except Identity Integration. The Manual contains complete reliability and validity data for all MSEI scales.

The observations of parents and teachers provide a


wealth of information about a childs behavior that is
directly relevant to an understanding of that childs
executive functioning. The assessment of executive
function in preschool-aged children is often difficult
because of the variable nature of behavior in this
age range; the limitations in motor and verbal
proficiency at this age; and the many neuropsychological, psychological, developmental, and other
medical conditions that begin to manifest during the
preschool years. The BRIEF-P is the first standardized rating scale designed to specifically measure
the range of behavioral manifestations of executive
function in preschool-aged childrenthus facilitating
intervention at earlier stages of development.
The BRIEF-P consists of a single Rating Form used
by parents, teachers, and day care providers to rate
a childs executive functions within the context of his/
her everyday environmentshome and preschool.
The original Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive
Function (BRIEF) was the basis for the development of the BRIEF-P. Consequently, the BRIEF-P is
an ecologically valid and efficient tool for screening,
assessing, and monitoring a young childs executive
functioning and development.
The hand-scorable BRIEF-P Rating Form consists
of 63 items that measure various aspects of executive functioning: Inhibit, Shift, Emotional Control,
Working Memory, and Plan/Organize. The clinical
scales form three broad indexes (Inhibitory SelfControl, Flexibility, and Emergent Metacognition)
and one composite score (Global Executive
Composite). The BRIEF-P also provides two validity
scales (Inconsistency and Negativity).
The BRIEF-P is useful in assessing preschool-aged
children with such medical, acquired neurological,
and developmental conditions as prematurity,
emerging learning disabilities and attentional
disorders, language disorders, traumatic brain
injuries, lead exposure, and pervasive developmental disorders/autism.

High internal consistency reliability (.80-.95 for


parent sample and .90-.97 for teacher sample); testretest reliability (.78-.90 for parents and .64-.94 for
teachers); and modest correlations between parent
and teacher ratings (.14-.28).
Convergent and discriminant validity was demonstra
ted with other measures of inattention, hyperactivityimpulsivity, depression, atypicality, anxiety, and
somatic complaints (i.e., ADHD Rating Scale-IV,
Preschool Version; Child Behavior Checklist/1.5-5;
Behavior Assessment System for Children-Parent
Rating Scale).
Factor analytic studies provide support for the threefactor model of executive functioning as embodied by
the three indexes, which accounted for 87% and 92%
of the variance in the parent and teacher normative
groups, respectively. The Working Memory and the
Plan/Organize scales define the first component; the
Shift and Emotional Control scales define the second
component; and the Inhibit and Emotional Control
scales define the third component.
Normative data is based on child ratings from 460
parents and 302 teachers from urban, suburban, and
rural areas, reflecting 1999 U.S. Census estimates
for race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and
age.
Clinical samples included children in the following
diagnostic/clinical groups: ADHD, prematurity,
language disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and
mixed clinical.

Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function Software


PortfolioPreschool Module (BRIEF-P SP)
Peter K. Isquith, PhD, Gerard A. Gioia, PhD, and PAR Staff

The BRIEF-P SP is used to score and generate


Interpretive, Feedback, and Protocol Summary
Reports for the BRIEF-P exclusively. After the
clinicians entry of an individuals item or scale raw
scores, the software program generates normative
scores for Interpretive Reports, Feedback Reports,
and Protocol Summary Reports.
The BRIEF-P SP file handling system allows the
user to create a client file where all protocols and
report files for that client are managed. Each client
file contains all demographic information for that
individual. Once a client file has been established,
this information will be shared by all protocols and
reports that are generated for that individual.
The comprehensive Interpretive Report saves
valuable clinician report-writing time and provides
useful documentation to assist in educational,
rehabilitative, and therapeutic planning for preschoolers who have executive function difficulties.
It provides a Score Summary Table with T scores,
percentiles, and 90%confidence intervals based
on age and gender. The report also provides a
Profile Graph of T scores for all scales, indexes, and
the composite. Interpretive text for the composite
(i.e.,Global Executive Composite), the three indexes
(i.e.,Inhibitory Self-Control, Flexibility, Emergent
Metacognition), the five clinical scales, and the two
validity scales (i.e.,Negativity, Inconsistency) is
included. More than 100 support and intervention
recommendations are included, based on noted
executive function difficulties.

The Feedback Report provides a basic overview of


the clients BRIEF-P test results. It is written with the
clients family, teacher, and/or care provider in mind.
The Protocol Summary Report allows the clinician to
select up to four administrations of the BRIEF-P, by
different respondents or time points, for comparison.
It presents T scores, item responses, and graphical
presentation of BRIEF-P profiles for comparison
over time, between respondents, or both.
Generates profile graphs with the ability to overlay up
to four profiles from prior administrations for the same
client.
User-friendly system functionality includes program
navigation tools, file handling, report editing, Tooltips
and data export (for research applications).
Reports can be edited easily on-screen to
incorporate additional clinical information and edit
interpretive statements. Recommended intervention
strategies that target the specific needs or special
circumstances of the individual can be edited easily

range of children and adolescents, including those
with learning disabilities and attention disorders,
traumatic brain injuries, lead exposure, pervasive
developmental disorders, depression, and other
developmental, neurological, psychiatric, and medical conditions. The Parent and Teacher Forms of the
BRIEF each contain 86 items within eight theoretically and empirically derived clinical scales that
measure different aspects of executive functioning:
Inhibit, Shift, Emotional Control, Initiate, Working
Memory, Plan/Organize, Organization of Materials,
and Monitor. The clinical scales form two broader
Indexes: Behavioral Regulation and Metacognition,
and an overall score, the Global Executive
Composite. Two of the scales, Working Memory
and Inhibit, are clinically useful in differentiating the
diagnostic subtypes of attention-deficit/hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD).
ReliabilityHigh internal consistency (alphas = .80.98); test-retest reliability (rs = .82 for parents and
.88 for teachers); and moderate correlations between
teacher and parent ratings (rs = .32-.34).
ValidityConvergent validity established with other
measures of inattention, impulsivity, and learning
skills; divergent validity demonstrated against
measures of emotional and behavioral functioning;
Working Memory and Inhibit scales differentiate
among ADHD subtypes.

Normative data based on child ratings from 1,419


parents and 720 teachers from rural, suburban, and
urban areas.
Separate normative tables for both the parent and
teacher forms provide T scores, percentiles, and
90% confidence intervals for four developmental age
groups (5-18 years) by gender of the child.
Clinical sample included children with developmental
disorders or acquired neurological disorders
(e.g.,Reading Disorder, ADHD subtypes, TBI,
Tourettes disorder, mental retardation, localized brain
lesions, high functioning autism).

Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function
Software Portfolio (BRIEF-SP)
Peter K. Isquith, PhD, Gerard A. Gioia, PhD, and PAR Staff

The BRIEF-SP provides unlimited scoring and


report generation for the BRIEF Parent Form, the
BRIEF Teacher Form, the BRIEF-SR, and now
the BRIEF-P. After administration of one or any
combination of these four protocols, item responses
or scale raw scores are hand entered into a new
or an existing client file. The software scores the
protocol(s) and generates the selected report(s):
a comprehensive Interpretive Report for the clinician;
a Feedback Report that can be used to provide
a summary of results to parents, teachers, care
providers, and/or the youth himself or herself; and/or
a Protocol Summary Report that allows for comparison of up to four different administrations of either
the BRIEF, BRIEF-SR, or BRIEF-P.
The BRIEF-SP Interpretive Report includes T scores
and percentiles based on separate normative
tables for four developmental age groups of children
ages 5-18 years (for the BRIEF) by gender, for four
developmental age groups of adolescents ages
11-18 years (for the BRIEF-SR) by gender, and for
preschool-aged children (2-5.11 years) by age and
gender. The optional intervention recommendations for the BRIEF and the BRIEF-SR include
more than 140 suggestions for modifications and
supports organized by area of executive difficulty
and environment (e.g., educational, rehabilitative,
therapeutic) for child- and youth-centered intervention methods. These recommendations include an
optional IEP/504 section that offers possible goals
and objectives for school-based programs.
The BRIEF Interpretive Report also offers an
optional ADHD diagnostic classification section
based on the youths Working Memory and Inhibit
scale scores. For the BRIEF-P, more than 100support and intervention recommendations are suggested based on noted executive function difficulties.
The BRIEF-SP Feedback Report provides a basic
overview of the BRIEF, the BRIEF-SR, and/or the
BRIEF-P. The BRIEF Feedback Reports (i.e., Parent,
Teacher) are written with the youths parent or

teacher in mind, the BRIEF-SR Feedback Report is


written with the adolescent who was tested in mind,
and the BRIEF-P is written with the childs parents/
caregivers, care provider, or other family member
in mind.
The BRIEF-SP also generates a Protocol Summary
Report for the BRIEF, the BRIEF-SR, and the
BRIEF-P. The Protocol Summary Report provides
tables with score information and a profile for graphing up to four protocols for the same client.
Powerful scoring and interpretive logic generates
T-score profiles and incorporates interpretation of the
eight clinical scales and two validity scales for the
BRIEF, and the eight clinical scales, two subscales,
and two validity scales for the BRIEF-SR within
the context of the two indexesMetacognition and
Behavioral Regulationas well as the overarching
Global Executive Composite.
For the BRIEF-P, the software generates T-score
profiles and incorporates interpretation of the five
clinical scales and the two validity scales within the
context of the three indexesInhibitory Self-Control,
Flexibility, and Emergent Metacognitionalong with
the Global Executive Composite.

All reports can be edited easily

The BRIEF-SR has demonstrated reliability, validity,


and clinical utility as an ecologically valid assessment
of executive functions across a range of conditions.
It is designed to be completed by older children
and adolescents with a 5th-grade or higher reading
ability, including individuals with attention disorders,
language disorders, traumatic brain injuries, lead
exposure, learning disabilities, high-functioning
autism spectrum disorders, and other developmental,
neurological, psychiatric, and medical conditions.
The Professional Manual contains four case studies
that demonstrate use of the adolescents BRIEF-SR
Self-Report along with the BRIEF Parent and Teacher
Feedback Reports to develop intervention strategies
with adolescents in four clinical groups: ADHD-I,
ADHD-C, Aspergers disorder, and traumatic brain
injury.

The BRIEF-SR scales demonstrate appropriate


reliability. Internal consistency is high for the GEC
(a=.96) and moderate to high for the clinical scales
(as=.72-.96). Temporal stability is strong (r=.89) for
the GEC (over a period of approximately five weeks),
and there is strong interrater agreement for the GEC
with parent ratings on the BRIEF (r=.56).
Correlational analyses with other self-report behavior
rating scales (i.e.,Child Behavior Checklist/Youth
Self-Report [CBCL/YSR], The Behavior Assessment
System for Children Self-Report of Personality
[BASC-SRP], Child Health Questionnaire [CHQ],
Profile of Mood StatesShort Form [POMS-SF])
provide evidence of convergent and divergent validity
for the BRIEF-SR.
Examination of BRIEF-SR profiles in a variety of
clinical groups provides further evidence of validity
based on clinical utility. BRIEF-SR ratings for groups
of adolescents with ADHD-I, ADHD-C, insulindependent diabetes mellitus, autism spectrum
disorders, and anxiety and depressive disorders
showed different patterns of scale elevations for
each group compared to matched control groups.
Correlations between adolescent and parent ratings
for the clinical groups were strong, suggesting good
agreement much of the time.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function


Adult Version (BRIEF-A)
Robert M. Roth, PhD, Peter K. Isquith, PhD, and Gerard A. Gioia, PhD

The BRIEF-A is a standardized measure that


captures views of an adults executive functions
or self-regulation in his or her everyday environment. Two formats are useda self-report and an
informant report.
The Self-Report Form is designed to be completed
by adults 18-90 years of age, including adults with
a wide variety of developmental, systemic, neurological, and psychiatric disorders such as attention
disorders, learning disabilities, autism spectrum
disorders, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis,
depression, mild cognitive impairment, dementias,
and schizophrenia. The Informant Report Form is
administered to an adult informant who is familiar
with the rated individuals everyday functioning.
It can be used alone when the rated individual is
unable to complete the Self-Report Form or has limited awareness of his or her own difficulties, or with
the Self-Report Form to gain multiple perspectives
on the individuals functioning. When administered in
conjunction with the Self-Report Form, the BRIEF-A
Informant Report Form provides a more clinically
comprehensive picture of the individual being rated.
Based on the original Behavior Rating Inventory
of Executive Function (BRIEF), the BRIEF-A is
composed of 75 items within nine nonoverlapping
theoretically and empirically derived clinical scales
that measure various aspects of executive functioning including:




Inhibit

Plan/Organize

Initiate

Emotional Control

Organization of Materials

Self-Monitor
Shift
Task Monitor
Working Memory

The clinical scales form two broader indexes:


Behavioral Regulation (BRI) and Metacognition
(MI), and these indexes form the overall summary
score, the Global Executive Composite (GEC).
The BRIEF-A also includes three validity scales
(Negativity, Inconsistency, and Infrequency).
The BRIEF-A has demonstrated evidence of
reliability, validity, and clinical utility as an ecologically
sensitive measure of executive functioning in
individuals with a range of conditions across a wide
age range.
Internal consistency was moderate to high for the
Self-Report normative sample (a = .73-.90 for clinical
scales; .93-.96 for indexes and GEC) and high for the
Informant Report normative sample (a = .80-.93 for
clinical scales; .95-.98 for indexes and GEC).

Using a mixed sample of clinical or healthy adults


who were seen for clinical evaluation or research
study participation, internal consistency was high for
the Self-Report Form (a = .80-.94 for clinical scales;
.96-.98 for indexes and GEC) and the Informant
Report Form (a = .85-.95 for clinical scales; .96-.98
for indexes and GEC).
Test-retest correlations across the clinical scales
ranged from .82 to .93 over an average interval of
4.22 weeks for the Self-Report Form (n = 50) and
ranged from .91 to .94 over an average interval of
4.21 weeks for the Informant Report Form (n = 44).
Correlations between Self-Report ratings and
Informant Report ratings were moderate, ranging from
.44 to .68 for the clinical scales and from .61 to .63 for
the indexes and the GEC.
In terms of convergent validity, the Self- and Informant
Report Form of the BRIEF-A scales, indexes, and
GEC demonstrated significant correlations in the
expected direction with self- and informant reports
on the Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe),
Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX), and Cognitive
Failures Questionnaire (CFQ).
Validity was further demonstrated via profiles of
BRIEF-A scores in clinical populations such as ADHD,
multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury.
Validity studies also are reported in the Professional
Manual comparing the BRIEF-A with the Clinical
Assessment of Depression (CAD), the Geriatric
Depression Scale (GDS), the Beck Depression
InventoryII (BDI-II), and the State Trait Anxiety
Inventory (STAI).
The BRIEF-A normative sample included 1,136 adults
from a wide range of racial/ethnic backgrounds,
educational backgrounds, as well as geographic
regions.

Measures an adults
views of himself or herself and
captures important observer
information for a comprehensive
picture of the rated individuals

the composite (i.e.,GEC), the indexes (i.e.,BRI,
MI), the nine clinical scales, and the three validity
scales (i.e.,Negativity, Infrequency, Inconsistency)
is included. The clinician also has the option to
print intervention recommendations along with the
Interpretive Report. These intervention recommendations include up to 103 suggestions for modifications and supports that are organized by area of
executive functioning difficulty (i.e.,by scale).
The Feedback Report provides a basic overview of
the clients BRIEF-A test results. It is written with the
client or clients family in mind.

The Protocol Summary Report allows the clinician to


select up to four administrations of the BRIEF-A, by

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

The TEC Provides a Unique


Approach to the Assessment
of Executive Function...

Tasks of Executive Control (TEC)


Peter K. Isquith, PhD, Robert M. Roth, PhD, and Gerard A. Gioia, PhD

The TEC is a standardized computer-administered


measure of two fundamental aspects of executive
control processes: working memory and inhibitory
control.
The test offers a unique approach to executive function assessment that represents the first standardized clinical application of two integrated neuroscience methods commonly used to tap working
memory and inhibitory control: an n-back paradigm
that parametrically increases working memory
load and a go/no-go task to manipulate inhibitory
control demand. This combination of methods yields
four sequential tasks for 5- to 7-year-old children
and six tasks for older children and adolescents
ages 8-18 years. Three equivalent forms and two
research forms are included, along with standardized regression-based change scores that facilitate
interpretation of (a) change between performance
on tasks, and (b) change over time when the instrument is administered on two or more occasions.
With highly accurate timing and a stable platform,
the TEC calculates multiple norm-referenced
measures of accuracy, response time, and response
time variability as working memory load increases in
both inhibit and no inhibit conditions.
The TEC is ideal for evaluating children and adolescents with a wide variety of developmental and
acquired neurological disorders including attention
disorders, learning disabilities, autism spectrum
disorders, and traumatic brain injuries. It also may
be used to assess children with psychiatric and
behavioral health concerns.
The program monitors accuracy and response time
throughout administration to produce six accuracy
scores, two response time scores, and two response
time variability scores for each task, along with Factor
scores and Summary scores. Each task consists of

on-screen instructions, a set of practice trials with


feedback, and 100 timed-interval stimuli that require
responses.
A post-stratification weighting procedure was
applied to the TEC standardization sample of
1,107 individuals in order to most accurately reflect
population parameters as defined by the U.S. Census
(2007).
Form 1 reliability coefficients based on the
Spearman-Brown split-half formula ranged from
.75 to.98 for Factor scores and from .68 to .99 for
Summary scores.
Convergent evidence for validity of the TEC is based
on correlations with the BRIEF, the CPRS-R:L, and
the CBCL/6-18, among others. Its validity also was
investigated within several clinical samples, including
children and adolescents with ADHD, mild traumatic
brain injury, learning disabilities, and fragile X
syndrome.
The software provides a Score Report, which displays
scores and profiles from a single administration;
a comprehensive Client Report, which provides
interpretive statements, scores, and profiles for
a single administration; and a Protocol Summary
Report, which summarizes change over time when
the instrument is administered more than once to the
same examinee.

The BPAD is a standardized informant report that


assesses the changes in both behavior and mood
that are associated with the onset and course of
various dementia syndromes. This 78-item assessment categorizes symptoms into three clusters
(i.e.,Psychopathological, Behavioral, Biological)
and further, into seven domains (i.e.,Perceptual/
Delusional, Positive Mood/Anxiety, Negative
Mood/Anxiety, Aggressive, Perseverative/Rigid,
Disinhibited, Biological Rhythms). The BPAD
Response Booklet is printed in a large font to simplify completion by individuals who have difficulties
with vision.
During administration, the respondent is asked
about symptoms the patient has exhibited both
within the past 4 weeks and 5 years ago. To differentiate symptoms associated with long-standing
psychiatric illness from symptoms associated with
the onset of behavioral disturbance related to
dementia, the BPAD assesses the symptoms over
these two time periods and computes a change
score that captures information about changes
in mood and behavior specific to the onset and
course of dementia. The BPAD was standardized
and validated on a sample of men and women ages
30-90 years from a wide range of racial/ethnic and
educational backgrounds and geographic regions,
and was well-matched to U.S. Census proportions.
The BPAD is completed by family members,
paraprofessionals, or other professionals ages

18-90years who have regular contact with the


individual who is suspected of having or who is
diagnosed with dementia. Items are written at a
6th-grade reading level. The BPAD can be employed
in a wide range of settings (e.g.,outpatient clinics,
assisted living facilities, clinical research settings)
with heterogeneous groups of individuals who are
suspected of having or have been diagnosed with
dementia (e.g.,patients diagnosed with Alzheimers
disease, patients with vascular dementia, psychiatric
patients with suspected dementia).
The BPAD Software Portfolio
Makes Scoring Easy

After hand entry of item responses, the easy-to-use


BPAD Software Portfolio (BPAD-SP) generates a
current impairment (i.e.,CURRENT) score, a past
impairment (i.e.,PAST) score, and a change in
impairment over time (i.e.,CHANGE) score. The
Score Report provides T scores and percentiles
for the BPAD Total and domain scores as well as
a graphical presentation of BPAD T scores. The
BPAD-SP is included in the BPAD Introductory
Kit and provides unlimited scoring and report
generation.

Tower of London 2nd Edition (TOLDX 2nd Edition)


William C. Culbertson, PsyD and Eric A. Zillmer, PsyD

Quickly assesses
executive planning activities
in children and adults.
Purpose: Assess higher-order
problem solving

Age: Children 7-15 years;


Adults 16-80 years
and older

Admin: Individual

The TOLDX 2nd Edition measures higher order


problem-solving ability. The information it provides is
useful not only when assessing frontal lobe damage
but also when evaluating attention disorders and
executive functioning difficulties. This new edition
includes a Stimulus-bound score that is particularly
useful when assessing older adults. The score is
rarely produced by healthy older adults, but when
apparent, suggests significant cognitive impairment
consistent with dementia or seriously compromised
frontally mediated executive control. New normative
data for older adults also is included in this new
edition, along with recent research findings.
The second edition eliminates repeated trials for
failed problems, thereby maintaining task novelty;
introduces 6 and 7 more test problem configurations,
increasing sensitivity to executive functioning across

age levels; and presents an empirical selection of


test problem configurations, which allows assessment of the range of executive planning abilities that
characterize child and adult populations.
The TOLDX 2nd Edition is an easily transportable test
with minimal set-up time. Scoring can be completed
within 5-10 minutes. The Examiners Manual is
appropriate for use with children and adults. The
Child Record Forms are suitable for children ages
7-15 years; the Adult Record Forms are suitable for
individuals ages 16-80 years and older.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Measure Recognition Memory and Assess


the Ability to Use Cues to Retrieve Information...
Rey Complex Figure Test and Recognition Trial (RCFT)
John E. Meyers, PsyD and Kelly R. Meyers

Results of factor analysis suggest that the RCFT


captures five domains of neuropsychological
functioning: visuospatial recall memory, visuospatial
recognition memory, response bias, processing
speed, and visuospatial constructional ability. The
Recognition trial measures recognition memory
for the elements of the Rey complex figure and
assesses the respondents ability to use cues to
retrieve information. The RCFT standardizes the
materials and procedures for administering the
Reycomplex figure.

Normative data is derived from 601 adults and 505


children and adolescents.
Demographically corrected normative data are
presented; U.S. Census-matched normative sample
(n = 394) also is provided for comparison of RCFT
scores with the general population.
Manual Supplement includes data for children and
adolescents; case illustrations aid interpretation.
Test-retest reliability coefficients of the memory
scores range from .76 to .89.
Interrater reliability ranges from .93 to .99.

Special Features
The 8.5" x 11" Stimulus Card contains a computerrendered replica of the original Rey complex figure.
Prior to this publication, Reys original figure had not
been available commercially.
Discriminates mildly brain-injured patients from
normal patients.
Discriminates brain-damaged patients who have
documented memory impairment and are able to live
independently from those who are not.
Distinguishes deficient performance due to motor
impairment from deficient performance due to
memory impairment.
Standardizes the complex figure testing materials and
procedures.
Includes a Copy trial, a 3-minute Immediate Recall
trial, a 30-minute Delayed Recall trial, and the
Recognition trial.
Evaluates the relative contributions of encoding,
storage, and retrieval processes to memory
performance.
Pages for the three freehand drawing trials (Copy,
Immediate Recall, and Delayed Recall) and the new
Recognition trial are perforated for easy detachment.
Uses a 36-point scoring system to score drawings
for all three drawing trials; scoring examples are
provided.

Recognition Trial

The RCFT Recognition Trial is administered immediately after the Delayed Recall trial. The Recognition
Trial presents 12 of the 18 scoring elements of the
Rey complex figure, along with 12 designs (elements
of the Taylor complex figure) that serve as foils. The
respondent indicates which items are recognized
from the earlier Copy trial. Studies show that the
Recognition trial provides incremental diagnostic
power compared with using recall trials alone.
Validity

Intercorrelations between the RCFT and other


measures, in samples of both normal and neurologically impaired individuals, establish the convergent
and discriminant validity of the RCFT as a measure
of visuospatial constructional ability (Copy trial) and
visuospatial memory (Immediate Recall, Delayed
Recall, and Recognition trials).

The stimulus figure used in the


RCFT is a computer-rendered
replica of Reys original publication.
The normative data presented
in the Manual were collected
using the Stimulus Card. Use of a
different complex figure stimulus
may render normative comparisons
invalid and may affect the validity
and utility of the obtained results.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Comprehensive Trail-Making Test (CTMT)


Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD

Extremely sensitive to many


types of neurological deficits.
Purpose: Evaluate brain injury
and other forms
of central nervous
system compromise

Age: 8-74 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 5-12 minutes to


administer; less than
5 minutes to score

Qualification Level: C

The CTMT is a standardized set of five visual search and sequencing tasks that are heavily influenced by
attention, concentration, resistance to distraction, and cognitive flexibility (or set-shifting). This easily administered set of tasks is extremely sensitive to neuropsychological deficits of many types. The CTMT can be used
to evaluate and diagnose brain injury and other forms of central nervous system compromise. More specific
purposes include the detection of frontal lobe deficits; problems with psychomotor speed, visual search and
sequencing, and attention; and impairments in set-shifting.
Relative to traditional trail-making tasks, the CTMT was designed to enhance the frontal lobe components of
the task by introducing inhibition on several trails and adding a new set-shifting task.
The basic task of trail-making is to connect a series of stimuli (numbers, expressed as numerals or in word
form, and letters) in a specified order as quickly as possible. The score derived for each trail is the number
of seconds required to complete the task. The composite score is obtained by pooling the T scores from the
individual trails. The five trails are similar, but also differ in some significant way.
Takes only 5-12 minutes to administer and less than 5 minutes to score.
Standardized on a nationwide sample of 1,664 persons whose demographic characteristics match the 2000 U.S.
Census data.
Reliability of scores for each individual trail is high and the composite score has a reliability coefficient of .90 or
higher at all ages.
The Examiners Manual includes new norms that were extended downward to age 8 years from the previous floor
of age 11 years. It also includes discussion of the tests theoretical and research-based foundation, administration
and scoring procedures, and more extensive reliability and validity data.

Ruff Figural Fluency Test (RFFT)


Ronald M. Ruff, PhD

The RFFT was developed to provide clinical information regarding nonverbal capacity for fluid and divergent
thinking, ability to shift cognitive set, planning strategies, and executive ability to coordinate this process.

A nonverbal analog to popular


verbal fluency tests.
Purpose: Provide information
about nonverbal
capacity for initiation,
planning, and
divergent reasoning

The Test Booklet consists of five 60-second parts, each with a different stimulus presentation.
The task is to draw as many unique designs as possible within 60 seconds by connecting the dots in
different patterns.
Responses are scored for the total number of Unique Designs drawn.
Perseverative Errors score represents the repetitions of the same pattern drawn by the respondent.
Error Ratio is an index for assessing the respondents ability to minimize repetition while maximizing unique
productions.
Qualitative strategies, such as rotation and enumeration, also can be assessed.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Developmental Scoring System for the Rey-Osterrieth


Complex Figure (DSS-ROCF)
Jane Holmes Bernstein, PhD and Deborah Waber, PhD

The DSS-ROCF allows the examiner to objectively evaluate ROCF performance within a developmental context and to determine the age-appropriateness of the childs Copy and Recall productions. The DSSROCF
measures not only the childs ability to accurately reproduce the figure, but also the childs qualitative, organizational, and stylistic approaches to the figure. Clinical experience has shown that childrens responses to
the ROCF often predict their responses in comparable situations where novel, complex material is presented.
The DSS-ROCF measures four parameters of ROCF performance: Organization, Style, Accuracy, and
Errors. Age-referenced norms for these four parameters provide guidelines for determining the developmental appropriateness of a childs production. The Organization score quantifies the childs appreciation
for the organizational correctness of complex, visually represented materials. The Style rating objectively
categorizes the childs approach to information processing as Part-oriented, Intermediate, or Configurational.
The Accuracy score quantifies the actual ROCF elements that are accurately reproduced (independent
of Organization and Style). The Error score quantifies the extent to which elements are distorted (rotation,
perseveration, misplacement, and conflation).
Test materials consist of the DSS-ROCF Professional Manual, the ROCF Stimulus Card, DSS-ROCF
Response Sheets (for the Copy, Immediate Recall, and Delayed Recall trials), and the DSS-ROCF Scoring
Booklet. Five colored felt-tipped pens and a stopwatch are also required.
The DSS-ROCF was developed and standardized on 454 children ages 5-14 years. The Professional Manual
provides specific instructions for administration of the ROCF, extensive instructions for deriving DSS-ROCF
scores, guidelines for clinical interpretation, normative information, and information about the psychometric
development, reliability, and validity of the DSS-ROCF.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Childrens Color Trails Test (CCTT)


Antolin M. Llorente, PhD, Jane Williams, PhD, Paul Satz, PhD, and Louis F. DElia, PhD

The CCTT was developed to meet the increasing need for a childrens instrument to assess sustained
attention, sequencing, and other executive functions while reducing reliance on language and diminishing the
effects of cultural bias and parental verbal report. The CCTT retains many similarities to the original childrens
version of the Trail Making Test (TMT), but substitutes the use of color for the use of letters from the English
alphabet, thereby increasing the suitability of the test within cross-cultural contexts and with other special
needs populations.

A quick measure of sustained


attention in children.
Purpose: Measure sustained
attention,
sequencing, and
other executive skills

Age: Children and


adolescents ages
8-16 years

Admin: Individual

Time: Approximately 5-7


minutes (timed)

Qualification Level: C
Note:
Form K is the standard test form on
which normative data were collected
and that should be used for clinical
evaluation. Forms X, Y, and Z should be
used for research. Stopwatch required
See page 261 for stopwatches.

The test can be administered using nonverbal instructions if necessary.


Normative data were collected from 678 healthy children ages 8-16 years; normative data also were collected from
more than 500 children from various clinical groups that participated in the CCTT validation studies.
Alternate-form reliability between Form K and Form X for the CCTT-1 and the CCTT-2 was .85 and .90,
respectively. Time raw scores for the CCTT-1 and CCTT-2 exhibited good temporal clinical stability ranging from
.90 to .99 across various time intervals.
Demonstrates a good level of convergent validity with the Childrens Trail Making Test and other instruments
designed to assess attention. CCTT scores also have been found to be sensitive indicators of the cognitive
impairment associated with various neuropsychological and psychiatric disorders such as Attention Deficit/
Hyperactivity Disorder.

The CTT was developed to meet the need for a test with the sensitivity and specificity of the original Trail
Making Test (TMT), but one that was as free as possible from the influences of language and cultural
bias. The CTT retains the psychometric properties of the TMT, but it substitutes the use of color for the
use of English alphabet letters, making it more suitable in cross-cultural and other special needs contexts.
Instructions may be presented either verbally or with visual cues. Respondents must be able to recognize
Arabic numerals from 1-25 and to distinguish between the colors pink and yellow. Research has shown
the CTT to be comparable to the TMT. Validity of the CTT has been documented in a variety of clinical and
neuropsychological populations.
The CTT uses numbered, colored circles and universal sign language symbols. The circles are printed with
vivid pink or yellow backgrounds that are perceptible to colorblind individuals. For the Color Trails 1 trial, the
respondent uses a pencil to rapidly connect circles numbered 1-25 in sequence. For the Color Trails 2 trial,
the respondent rapidly connects numbered circles in sequence, but alternates between pink and yellow colors. The examiner uses a stopwatch to record the length of time to complete each trial along with qualitative
features of performance indicative of brain dysfunction, such as near-misses, prompts, number sequence
errors, and color sequence errors on the CTT Record Form.

Booklet Category Test (BCT), 2nd Ed.


Nick A. DeFilippis, PhD and Elizabeth McCampbell, PhD

This portable version of the widely used Halstead Category Test (CT) allows you to distinguish individuals
with brain damage from normal individuals.
The task demands of the BCT are essentially equivalent to those of the CT.
Contains 208 visual stimuli that assess complex concept formation and abstract reasoning.
Administration instructions are printed on the backs of the Stimulus Plates and on the Response Form to aid in
standardization of the BCT administration.
Responses for each subtest are recorded on a single page to aid in test administration and to facilitate the review
of patient responses.
Two portable easel binders make the BCT ideal for administration in a wide variety of clinical and experimental
settings where portability and space limitations are a concern (e.g.,hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, private
clinical settings).
Administration/Scoring
Present the Stimulus Plates and have the respondent point to the number on the BCT Response Strip
(1,2,3,or4) that corresponds to the pattern on each Stimulus Plate.
The individual responses are recorded and then the incorrect responses are tallied to obtain the error score.
The revised Professional Manual also provides information about current research findings related to the clinical
utility of the BCT (e.g.,use of cutoff scores to identify malingerers).
Reliability/Validity
Regarded as the most sensitive indicator of brain dysfunction in the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test
Battery, the CT is nearly as valid as the complete battery in detecting brain damage.
In a cross-validation study, the BCT correlated with the CT at the same statistical level as the CT correlates with
itself, suggesting that the BCT retains the high reliability and validity of the original instrument.

Mini-Mental State Examination, 2nd Edition (MMSE-2)
Marshal F. Folstein, MD and Susan E. Folstein, MD
Users Manual by Marshal F. Folstein, MD, Susan E. Folstein, MD, Travis White, PhD, and
Melissa A. Messer,MHS

The convenient Pocket


Norms Guide enables you to
quickly and efficiently convert raw
scores to T scores and to find
reliable change scores at three
levels of statistical significance.
Purpose: Screen for cognitive
impairment

Age: 18 years and older

Admin: Individual

Time: 5 minutes for


the MMSE-2:BV;
10-15minutes for
the MMSE-2:SV;
20 minutes for the
MMSE-2:EV

Qualification Level: B or S

With a new standard version that is equivalent to the


original MMSE and new brief and expanded forms,
the MMSE-2 retains clinical utility and efficiency
while expanding the originals usefulness in populations with milder forms of cognitive impairment,
including subcortical dementia.
The original MMSE is one of the most frequently
used brief assessment of cognitive impairment. It
can be used to track patients progress over time, to
screen large populations for cognitive impairment,
and to select patients for clinical trials research
in dementia treatment. In revising the MMSE,
the authors sought a variety of improvements. To
better standardize its administration, some of the
original MMSE items have been altered. Despite
these changes, the MMSE-2: Standard Version
(MMSE2:SV) demonstrates high equivalency with
the original MMSE. Thus, it is possible to switch
from the original MMSE to the MMSE-2:SV without
compromising longitudinal data and without any
change in the normal range of scores.
An even briefer version, the new MMSE2: Brief
Version (MMSE2:BV), is designed for rapid
assessment in a variety of settings. The MMSE2:
Expanded Version (MMSE2:EV), a slightly longer
version, is more sensitive to subcortical dementia
and to changes associated with aging; it is sufficiently difficult that it does not have ceiling effect.
Equivalent, alternate forms (Blue and Red) of each
MMSE-2 version have been developed to decrease
the possibility of practice effects that can occur
over serial examinations. Finally, the Pocket Norms
Guide has been updated to include norms for all
three versions of the MMSE-2 by age and education
level and includes reliable change scores to facilitate
serial testing with any of the MMSE-2 versions.
Why Should I Use the MMSE-2?
Flexibility of administration. With three different
versions available, you can select the version that
best fits you and your patients needs.
Simplicity of scoring. Forms are user-friendly and
easy to score.

Portable Pocket Norms Guide. T-score conversion


tables, reliable change scores, and mean raw score
tables are provided in both the Users Manual and the
handy Pocket Norms Guide.
Brevity. Depending on the version you choose to use,
administration takes between 5 and 20 minutes.
Equivalent, alternate forms. Blue and Red forms
enable you to retest the same patient with reduced
practice effects.
Simplicity of administration. All versions may be
administered by anyone who has been trained to
test individuals with cognitive impairment and who
is familiar with the administration instructions. No
special equipment is required.
Clinical relevance. Items have obvious relationships
to functional ability in daily life.
Expanded meta-analysis. The meta-analysis
of studies using the MMSE that appeared in the
original MMSE Clinical Guide has been expanded
to incorporate studies published between 2001 and
2009 and includes effect sizes.
Availability in other languages. Foreign language
translations, including Spanish for the US, German,
and Italian, will soon be available. Visit our Web
site, www.parinc.com, for more information on the
availability of foreign language versions.
Standardization and Development

A new normative sample of more than 1,500


individuals was used to establish reliability and the
normal range of scores. A clinical sample consisting
of patients with Alzheimers disease and patients
with subcortical dementias was tested to establish
validity. To aid you in determining the clinical
significance of specific raw scores, the sensitivity,
specificity, % correctly classified, positive predictive
power (PPP), and negative predictive power (NPP)
of a wide range of raw score cutoffs are presented in
the Users Manual for each version of the MMSE-2
by clinical group. In addition, raw score means and
standard deviations by age and education level, as
well as age- and education-corrected T scores, are
provided. Reliable change scores, which provide
a measure of the degree of reliable change that
has occurred in a patients performance between
administrations, are provided at three levels of
statistical significance.

Reliability and Validity

Internal consistency ranged from .66 to .79 for the clinical sample.
Test-retest stability was calculated using generalizability (G) coefficients. Equivalency of the Blue and Red forms was also examined
using G coefficients, which were .96 for all three versions. Interrater
reliability was high, ranging from .94 to .99.
Convergent validity of the MMSE-2 was examined in terms of its
correlations with several tests that purport to measure specific aspects
of cognitive functions, including the Wechsler Memory ScaleThird

Three Versions of the


MMSE-2 Give You
More Flexibility....
MMSE-2: Standard Version

The structure and scoring of the original


30-item MMSE have been retained while
problematic items have been replaced.
The three words for the Registration/Recall
tasks have been made slightly more difficult
and were revised to make foreign language
translations easier. The phrase for the
Repetition task has been changed to facilitate its translation into foreign languages,
enabling easier comparison of results across
all language versions. The Comprehension
task has been altered to make it easier for
persons with physical limitations to perform.
Because the difficulty of the MMSE-2:SV,
along with its raw score range, remains the
same as the original, scores obtained using
the original MMSE and scores obtained
using the MMSE-2:SV are comparable.

MMSE-2: Brief Version

Composed entirely of the MMSE2:SV


Registration, Orientation to Time, Orientation
to Place, and Recall tasks, the 16-item
MMSE-2:BV can be used for clinical or
research situations that require a rapid
cognitive screener. These tasks were chosen
based on a literature review, their use in the
original MMSE, and their adequate retention
of sensitivity and specificity to detect dementia. Available in convenient tear-off pads, the
MMSE-2:BV Blue and Red Forms require no
stimuli for administration.

MMSE-2: Expanded Version

The MMSE-2:EV improves the clinical utility


of the original MMSE by extending the tests
ceiling (i.e., difficulty level), increasing the
range of raw scores, and increasing the
screening sensitivity for individuals with less
severe cognitive impairment, such as those
with subcortical dementia and mild cognitive impairment. The 90-item MMSE2:EV
consists of the MMSE-2:SV tasks plus two
new tasks: Story Memory (immediate recall
of a brief story) and Processing Speed
(a symbol-digit coding task). To facilitate
scoring of the Processing Speed task, clear
plastic Scoring Templates are included in
the Expanded Version Kit and are available
separately.

Also Included...
Equivalent, alternate forms for each of the three versions of the MMSE-2 so as to minimize practice effects when retesting patients.
A representative, up-to-date normative sample to serve as the basis for age- and education-corrected normative T scores.
Evidence of the three MMSE-2 versions validity in samples of individuals with Alzheimers disease and subcortical dementia.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Quickly Measure Behaviors Associated With Damage


to the Frontal Lobes and Frontal Systems of the Brain
Frontal Systems Behavior Scale (FrSBe)
Janet Grace, PhD and Paul F. Malloy, PhD

Research has demonstrated that many individuals


with frontal lobe damage are capable of normal
performance on traditional neuropsychological measures. However, their behavior in natural settings is
often disordered, resulting in severe impairment in
social and occupational functioning. The FrSBe fills a
gap in the assessment of frontal systems behavioral
syndromes by providing a means to identify and
quantify these behavioral problems so that they may
be targeted for treatment.
The FrSBe provides a brief, reliable, and valid measure of three frontal systems behavioral syndromes:
apathy, disinhibition, and executive dysfunction. It
also quantifies behavioral changes over time by
including both baseline (retrospective) and current
assessments of behavior.
The FrSBe includes a Total score, as well as scores
on three subscales related to the three frontal
systems behavioral syndromes: Apathy (14 items),
Disinhibition (15 items), and Executive Dysfunction
(17 items). This 46-item, paper-and-pencil behavior
rating scale is much easier and less time-consuming
to administer than a neuropsychological test battery.
Two hand-scorable, carbonless test booklets are
available: one for self-rating and one for rating by a

family member or caregiver. Each item is rated on a


5-point Likert scale. Items are written at a 6th-grade
reading level. Two profile forms (Self and Family)
allow comparisons of behaviors pre- and post-injury/
illness.
The Professional Manual provides normative data
for a community-based sample of 436 men and
women for two levels of education (i.e., 12 years
and > 12 years). Data also are provided for several
clinical groups including patients with frontotemporal
dementia, frontal lesions, nonfrontal stroke, head
injury, Alzheimers disease, Huntingtons disease,
and Parkinsons disease.

Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT)


Aaron Smith, PhD

Brief and easy to administer, the SDMT has demonstrated remarkable sensitivity in detecting not only the
presence of brain damage, but also changes in cognitive functioning over time and in response to treatment.
It is an economical way to screen apparently normal children and adults for possible motor, visual, learning,
or other cerebral dysfunction.
The SDMT involves a simple substitution task. Using a reference key, the examinee has 90 seconds to
pair specific numbers with given geometric figures. Because examinees can give either written or spoken
responses, the test is well suited for use with individuals who have motor disabilities or speech disorders.
Because it involves only geometric figures and numbers, the SDMT is relatively free of cultural bias as well
and can be administered to individuals who do not speak English. The AutoScore Test Form simplifies
scoring.
The SDMT Manual documents the tests effectiveness in a wide range of clinical applications including
differentiation of brain-damaged from psychotic patients; differentiation of organic from depressive disorders;
early detection of senile dementia and Huntingtons disease; differential diagnosis of children with learning
disorders; early identification of children likely to have reading problems; assessment of change in cognitive
functioning over time and/or with therapy in individuals who have traumatic, vascular, neoplastic, and other
brain insults; and assessment of recovery from closed-head injury.

Neuropsychological Assessment Battery (NAB)


Robert A. Stern, PhD and Travis White, PhD

NAB Record Forms include all


necessary administration and
scoring instructions, eliminating
the common difficulty imposed by
having to refer to separate test
administration manuals for
administration and scoring
instructions.
Purpose: Assess a wide range
of cognitive skills and
functions

Age: 18-97 years

The NAB is a comprehensive, modular battery of


33 neuropsychological tests developed to assess
a wide array of cognitive skills and functions in
adults (ages 18-97 years) with known or suspected
disorders of the central nervous system. The NAB
consists of six modules: a Screening Module and
five domain-specific modulesAttention, Language,
Memory, Spatial, and Executive Functions. Each of
the six NAB modules is self-contained and may be
administered independently of the other modules.
The NAB now may be purchased by individual
module kits versus packaged as a complete kit,
allowing the clinician increased flexibility to focus on
specific areas of concern. Additionally, each NAB
module has two equivalent, parallel forms (Form 1
and Form 2) that were created and normed simultaneously with identical task/content specifications
and development methodology. Equivalent forms of
the NAB were developed to facilitate reevaluation

while simultaneously avoiding practice effects that


often limit interpretation of other test forms with no
adequate equivalent forms. The two forms have
excellent equivalent-form reliability, as well as good
temporal stability for a 6-month test-retest interval.
Each of the five domain-specific NAB Modules
includes a Daily Living test designed to be multifactorial in nature and related to real-world tasks of
everyday living. Daily Living assessments include
such tests as a Bill Payment test to help determine
difficulties with auditory and reading comprehension,
writing skills, simple calculations, and speech output;
a Medication Instruction test to help determine
if an individual can learn and remember dosing
instructions for medications prescribed by his/her
physician; and a Judgment test that helps evaluate
problem-solving capabilities, knowledge of important
aspects of home safety and health/medical issues,
and decisional capacity.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

NAB Modules Provide the Flexibility Needed to Help


You Meet the Time Constraints and the Different
Areas of Clinical Focus Required for Each Individual

Development of the NAB was made possible and funded in part by Grants 1 R43
MH58501-01 and 2 R44 MH58501-02 from the National Institute of Mental Health.

The NAB Screening Module helps to generate initial hypotheses


regarding differential diagnosis and treatment recommendations and
provides an estimate of the examinees functioning in a particular domain
when more in-depth examination is either not warranted or not possible.
It takes 45 minutes to administer.
The NAB Attention Module provides a marker of an individuals
attentional capacity, working memory, psychomotor speed, selective
attention, divided attention, and information processing speed.
Examination of an individuals performance on the NAB Attention Module
will provide clinically useful information for patients with traumatic
brain injury; disorders involving the subcortical, frontostriatal systems,
and/or brainstem (e.g., Parkinsons disease, Huntingtons disease,
HIV-associated cognitive-motor disorders, multiple sclerosis); anxiety
disorders; and adult residual attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Ittakes 45 minutes to administer.
The NAB Language Module provides a marker of the severity of
aphasia and related disorders of language production, comprehension,
and word-finding. Examination of an individuals performance on the NAB
Language Module will provide clinically useful information for patients
with expressive/Brocas/nonfluent aphasia, receptive/Wernickes/fluent
aphasia, or anomia. It takes 35 minutes to administer.
The NAB Spatial Module provides a marker of the examinees visuo
perceptual skills, attention to visual detail, visuoconstruction, right-left
orientation, topographical orientation, and visual scanning. Examination
of an individuals performance on the NAB Spatial Module will provide
clinically useful information for patients with a lesion in the right
hemispheric parietal lobe, frontal systems involvement, and/or occipital
lobe involvement. It takes 45 minutes to administer.

The NAB Memory Module provides a marker of an individuals verbal


explicit learning, visual explicit learning, verbal delayed free recall, visual
delayed recognition memory, and verbal explicit learning and recognition
of information likely to be encountered in day-to-day living. Examination
of an individuals performance on the NAB Memory Module will provide
clinically useful information for patients with Alzheimers disease,
frontotemporal dementia, strokes or aneurysms involving the anterior
communicating artery, hypoxia/anoxia, Korsakoffs syndrome, traumatic
brain injury, neurotoxic exposure, electroconvulsive therapy, major
depression, mesial temporal sclerosis, herpes encephalitis, and other
lesions (e.g., vascular, degenerative, epileptic, neoplastic, traumatic,
metabolic, surgical) involving mesial temporal lobe structures. It takes
45minutes to administer.
The NAB Executive Functions Module provides a marker of
planning, engaging with others effectively, problem solving, successfully
interacting with the environment to get ones needs met, judgment,
conceptualization, cognitive response set, mental flexibility, verbal
fluency, and generativity. Examination of an individuals performance
on the NAB Executive Functions Module will provide clinically useful
information for patients with traumatic brain injury, stroke, tumor,
hypoxia/anoxia, degenerative disease (e.g., Parkinsons disease, Picks
disease, frontotemporal dementia, Huntingtons disease, advanced
Alzheimers disease), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, depression,
schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, metabolic disorders
(e.g.,Graves hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism), and other lesions
(including vascular, degenerative, epileptic, neoplastic, traumatic,
metabolic, surgical). It takes 30 minutes to administer.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Each NAB Module Has Two Equivalent,


Parallel Forms to Facilitate Reevaluation
While Avoiding Practice Effects...
NAB Scores

Depending on which modules are administered, the NAB yields a


variety of different scores. Each NAB test (with the exception of the
Screening and Attention Modules Orientation test and the Language
Module Reading Comprehension test) results in one or more
primary test scores and, in some cases, additional secondary and/or
descriptive test scores. For the Screening Module, selected primary
test T scores are summed to obtain each of the Screening Domain
scores (e.g., the two Screening Language test scores compose the
Screening Language Domain score). The five Screening Domain
scores are summed to obtain the Total Screening Index score.
For each main module, a module Index score is calculated from
the sum of selected primary T scores from that module; this score
summarizes the examinees performance on that module. The Total
NAB Index is based on the sum of the five main module Index
scores, representing the examinees overall performance on the NAB.
The Neuropsychological Assessment Battery Software Portfolio
(NAB-SP) provides unlimited scoring and report generation after
hand-entry of an individuals NAB test scores.
NAB Reliability and Validity Studies

In addition to the standardization study of more than 1,400 adults, the


NAB has undergone extensive reliability studies, including equivalent
form, interrater, 6-month test-retest, and internal consistency.
The two forms of the NAB were found to be highly equivalent in an
equivalent-form reliability study (n = 50). Interrater reliability studies
conducted on those NAB tests that require more subjective scoring
indicated excellent agreement. A 6-month test-retest study (n =95)
resulted in very good temporal stability and provides important
practice-effect information. Internal consistency analyses also indicate
excellent reliability. The reliability estimates for the NAB Index scores
are excellent. For example, the reliability coefficient for the Total NAB
Index score is .96.
Extensive validation evidence has been established through both
exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, criterion validity investigations, and several clinical validation studies (including separate
studies involving groups of patients with dementia, aphasia, traumatic
brain injury, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, multiple sclerosis,
and HIV/AIDS). Additional validity studies included a comparison of
the NAB with measures of functional independence in an inpatient
rehabilitation hospital and an investigation involving a group of simulated malingerers who received the NAB, along with several existing
measures of symptom validity.

Using the NAB in Your Practice

As a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery, the NAB is


appropriate for outpatient evaluation, forensic examination, large-scale
research studies, and many other clinical and research applications.
Because of its modular flexibility, its potential for focused and shorter
examination times, and the ability to use the Screening Module on its
own, the NAB also is appropriate for inpatient bedside consultations,
interdisciplinary team evaluations, memory disorder clinic examinations, and focused research investigations, among other purposes.
The NAB allows for both flexible battery and fixed battery approaches
to assessment. You can administer the entire NAB, selected modules,
or individual NAB tests based on specific needs, examination focus,
and referral question(s). Standardized administration and scoring procedures across all tests enhance the consistency and interpretability
of test scores. The NAB is unique among modern neuropsychological
test batteries in that all of the tests in all of the modules have been
co-normed on the same individuals.
NAB Software Portfolio (NAB-SP)

The NAB-SP automates many of the steps involved in calculating raw


scores as well as obtaining normative scores (e.g., z scores, Tscores,
percentiles) and generating profiles, all in a fraction of the time
required by hand scoring. It includes built-in, easy-to-use report editing
features, and it generates profile graphs with the ability to overlay
profiles from prior NAB administrations for a specific client. Reports
can be exported to common word processing programs, and client
data can be exported to many spreadsheet and database programs.
The NAB-SP now includes the NAB Main Modules Primary Score
Report. Visit www.parinc.com to download a patch for your existing
NAB-SP to enable it to produce this report.
NAB Training Program on DVD

The Training Program on the Administration and Scoring of the NAB


Module Kit is designed to facilitate learning the correct administration
and scoring procedures for the NAB Module you have purchased. The
specific module DVD contains an overview of the module you ordered;
it is organized into chapter titles that correspond to the individual
tests within the module, thus facilitating easy navigation to information about a specific test. Each chapter includes an overview of the
specific test followed by a demonstration of a standard administration.
Procedures for recording and scoring responses also are described. A
set of completed NAB Record Forms and Response Booklets for the
specific module you ordered, corresponding to the actual administration shown in the video clips, is included with the DVD set. In addition,
the Screening Module DVD is included as a complimentary bonus
because it includes an overview of the entire NAB. Together, these
materials facilitate learning the correct administration, recording, and
scoring procedures.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

NAB Naming Test


Robert A. Stern, PhD and Travis White, PhD

Formerly available only as part of the NAB Language Module, the NAB Naming Test now is available as a
stand-alone assessment. This instrument is designed to highlight deficits in visual confrontation naming skills
and to identify aphasia. Additionally, it may be helpful in evaluating progress in aphasic patients who are
undergoing rehabilitation. The examinee is shown a series of images and asked to name the object in the
picture.
Brief 31-item assessment quickly provides necessary information.
A detailed Record Form guides you through semantic and phonemic cueing, if necessary, to further evaluate
the patients abilities. All of the administration instructions and essential scoring information are included on the
Record Form, making it easy to administer in clinical settings.
An equivalent parallel form reduces the likelihood of practice effects and allows for repeat testing, making the NAB
Naming Test ideal for use in speech/language and/or rehabilitation settings where progress is monitored over the
course of treatment.
A new stand-alone Professional Manual contains information regarding the NAB Naming Tests background,
administration, interpretation, standardization, reliability, and validity.
The NAB Naming Test was standardized using a large, demographically corrected normative sample.
The incorporation of digital photographs enhances the ecological validity of the instrument by providing visual
depictions that appear more realistic than the line drawings used by similar instruments.

Robert A. Stern, PhD and Travis White, PhD

The NAB Screening Module helps to generate initial hypotheses regarding differential diagnosis and treatment recommendations, and provides an estimate of the examinees functioning in a particular domain when
more in-depth examination is either not warranted or not possible.
Average alpha coefficients for test scores from both Form 1 and Form 2 of the Screening Module range
from moderate to strong. Composite reliabilities are high for all of the Screening Module Domain scores
(e.g.,Screening Attention Domain r = .91; Screening Executive Functions r = .86), and the Total Screening
Index (.80). Over a 6-month interval, test-retest stability of the Screening Module test and domain scores also
is strong.
To examine convergent validity, a subgroup of the standardization sample was assessed with external measures of cognitive functioning including the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and selected scores

NAB Digits Forward/Digits Backward Test


Robert A. Stern, PhD and Travis White, PhD

Previously available only as part of the NAB Attention Module, the NAB Digits Forward/Digits Backward Test
is now available as an independent assessment. Administration is brief and straightforward, involving the oral
presentation of spans of digits in order to evaluate potential deficits in attention and working memory. The
measure has both a 7-item digits forward task and a 7-item digits backward task, each with its own individual
score. Because the two paradigms measure distinct function, the disparate scores allow for richer interpretation than that provided by similar assessment instruments on the market.
Equivalent, parallel forms allow for ease of retesting while reducing the likelihood of practice effects.
Developed with the entire Neuropsychological Assessment Battery on a large standardization sample
(1,448individuals).
The detailed Record Form guides examiners through the measure, allowing optimal portability and flexibility in a
variety of evaluation settings.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

NAB Writing Test


Robert A. Stern, PhD and Travis White, PhD

The NAB Writing Test was created to quantify several major features of narrative writing, including legibility,
syntax, spelling, and conveyance of themes. Unlike other writing tests that simply ask the examinee to write
a single sentence, the NAB Writing Test provides a more complete sample of the many types of deficits
associated with agraphia. The measure presents examinees with a colorful stimulus picture printed on a
panel card and asks the examinee to write about what is going on in the scene. Scoring is relatively simple,
yet provides sensitive markers of legibility, syntax, spelling, and conveyance, increasing the likelihood of
identifying possible deficits.
Unlike similar writing
measures, the NAB Writing
Test provides both a qualitative
and a quantitative measure of
specific aspects of writing.
Purpose: Evaluates major
features of narrative
writing

Age: 18-97 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 5 minutes

The detailed Record Form guides examiners through the measure. The Record Form and Panel Card are all that is
necessary for administration, allowing optimal portability and flexibility in a variety of evaluation settings.
Two equivalent, parallel forms allow for ease of retesting and reduce the likelihood of practice effects.
The NAB Writing Test is one of six tests in the NAB Language Module, which serves as a marker of the severity of
aphasia and related disorders of language production, comprehension, and word-finding.

NAB Orientation Test


Robert A. Stern, PhD and Travis White, PhD

The NAB Orientation Test


measures orientation to self,
time, place, and situation.
Purpose: Assesses impaired
orientation

Age: 18-97 years

The NAB Orientation Test evaluates impaired orientation, one of the most common symptoms of a variety of
brain disorders and an important aspect of attention. A brief 16-item measure, the test consists of questions
relating to self, time, place, and situation. Scoring for the NAB Orientation Test was designed to be simple
and reliable while simultaneously providing sensitive markers to help you determine if further examination
within a specific domain of disorientation is needed. A Record Form conveniently provides all the materials
needed to administer and score the instrument.
Although the measure includes questions regarding orientation to time and place that are found in most mental status instruments, the NAB Orientation Test has the distinct advantage of being co-normed with the full
Neuropsychological Assessment Battery. Additionally, unlike similar measures that provide only one overall
score for orientation, the NAB Orientation Test provides four descriptive scores for each facet of orientation
(self, place, time, and situation).
The detailed Record Form guides examiners through the measure and provides optimum portability.
Excellent for use as a screening measure prior to further assessment, the NAB Orientation Test can be used in a
variety of settings to quickly assess disorientation.

(MCCB) has been developed to help researchers


and clinicians measure cognition in individuals
diagnosed with schizophrenia and related disorders.
The MCCB is a standardized battery that is intended
for use with adults who have been diagnosed with
schizophrenia and related disorders. It consists of 10
individually administered tests to measure cognitive
performance in the following seven domains: Speed
of Processing, Attention/Vigilance, Working Memory,
Verbal Learning, Visual Learning, Reasoning and
Problem Solving, and Social Cognition.

Tests Used to Measure Cognitive Performance in


Adults With Schizophrenia and Related Disorders

Age: 20-59 years

Admin: Individual

Cognitive deficits, including impairments in such


areas as memory, attention, and executive function,
are a major determinant and predictor of long-term
disability in schizophrenia. Unfortunately, available
antipsychotic medications are relatively ineffective for improving cognition. Scientific discoveries
during the past decade suggest that there may be
opportunities for developing medications that will be
effective for improving cognition in schizophrenia.
To aid in that process, the MATRICS (Measurement
and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition
in Schizophrenia) Consensus Cognitive Battery

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

The MCCB Is the Only Measure of Cognitive


Performance Developed Under NIMH Contract
With Participation of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and Is Recommended for All Clinical
Trials of Cognition-Enhancing Drugs for Schizophrenia
Special Features of the MCCB
The MCCB is the result of a unique broad-based consensus process
that included the academic community, the National Institutes of
Health (NIH), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the
pharmaceutical industry.
It assesses the key separable cognitive deficits of schizophrenia, using
tests that experts selected as best suited for this purpose.
Standardized battery with conorming of 10 component tests, the MCCB
exhibits high test-retest reliability and has high utility as a repeated
measure.
The MCCB has a demonstrated relationship to functional outcome and
high tolerability by respondents.
The MCCB provides convenient administration, scoring and conversion
to standardized scores, and creation of a computer data file of summary
scores.

Normative data for the battery allow (a) age and gender correction;
(b) age, gender, and education correction; or (c) no demographic
correction. Both T scores and percentiles are available. The MCCB
Computer Scoring Program allows entry of the primary raw scores on
a PC and then provides the corresponding T scores and percentiles
and a graphic profile of the T scores for each of the seven cognitive
domains. This Scoring Program also produces a data file for entry of
data into statistical programs for group analyses.

Materials

0D-5876-ST

The MCCB Kit includes materials for 25 administrations of the entire


battery. The MCCB Retest Packet includes the materials needed for
25 additional administrations. For situations in which practice effects
with repeated administration can occur, alternate forms are available
as part of the Retest Packet.
The MCCB Manual contains information about the development,
reliability and validity, standardization, administration, and scoring
of the battery. The MCCB Administrators Form is to be used by test
administrators to record results for one respondent. In some cases
(for HVLT-R and NAB Mazes), there is a separate booklet or form
to use that is then attached to the MCCB Administrators Form. For
three of the tests in the battery, the respondent marks in the MCCB
Respondents Booklet. For one test (CPT-IP), the responses are made
via a computer program. For all the other tests, the administrator
records the responses.
Uses of the MCCB

This battery is intended to provide a relatively brief evaluation of key


cognitive domains that are relevant to schizophrenia and related
disorders. It was designed for the following purposes:
As an outcome measure for clinical trials of cognition-enhancing drugs
for individuals who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
As an outcome measure for studies of cognitive remediation.
As a sensitive measure of cognitive change in other repeated testing
applications.
As a cognitive reference point for nonintervention studies of
schizophrenia and other severe psychiatric disorders.

Cognitive Function at Lower Ability Levels...
Dementia Rating Scale2 (DRS-2)
Steven Mattis, PhD
Professional Manual by Paul J. Jurica, PhD, Christopher L. Leitten, PhD, and Steven Mattis, PhD

Designed to measure deficits in


a large range of higher cortical
functions and differentiate deficits
of varying severity levels.
Purpose: Measure mental
status in adults with
cognitive impairment

Age: 55-89 years and


older

Admin: Individual

Time: 15-30 minutes

Qualification Level: C
Scoring software and
alternate form available
See page 119 for information on the
DRS2:IR and the DRS-2: Alternate
Form.

The DRS-2 measures cognitive function at lower


ability levels where some other evaluation instruments are limited by floor effects. The DRS-2 also
can be used to track changes in cognitive status
over time. By design, the DRS-2 measures deficits
in a large range of higher cortical functions and
differentiates deficits of varying severity levels.
Incorporating the original 36 DRS tasks and 32
stimuli, the DRS-2 yields five subscale scores and
an assessment of the patients overall level of cognitive functioning. The five DRS-2 subscales, which
provide additional information on specific abilities,
include Attention (8 items), Initiation/Perseveration
(11 items), Construction (6 items), Conceptualization
(6 items), and Memory (5 items). Stimulus items
consist of material familiar to most individuals.
The DRS-2 tasks are presented in a fixed order
within each subscale, the most difficult tasks are
presented first. Generally, if the first one or two
tasks in a subscale are performed well, subsequent
tasks in the subscale are credited with a correct
performance and the examiner proceeds to the next
subscale. This procedure significantly shortens the
total testing time for individuals with relatively intact
cognitive functioning.
Special Features
The newly designed 12-page DRS-2 Scoring Booklet
facilitates administration and scoring.

The Profile Form helps to create a graphical


representation for interpretation.
An expanded age range (55-89 years and older).
Age-corrected normative tables for all DRS-2
subscales with age- and education-corrected
normative data for the DRS-2 Total Score.
Expanded literature review with a discussion of DRS
reliability and validity studies.
Validity studies comparing the DRS with WMS and
WAIS-R subtests and the MMSE.
The 32 Stimulus Cards are contained in a separate
binder for ease of administration.
Scoring Booklet provides prompts for administration
of the items and complete instructions for scoring the
patients responses.

Dementia Rating Scale2 Interpretive Report (DRS-2:IR)


PAR Staff and Steven Mattis, PhD

The DRS-2:IR provides unlimited scoring and


report generation for the DRS-2 and the DRS-2:
Alternate Form. After administration of either one
of the DRS-2 forms, demographic information and
item responses are hand-entered into the software
program by the clinician. This takes approximately
five minutes. The software automatically generates
age-corrected subscale scores, age- and educationcorrected DRS-2 Total Score and percentile subscale scores. The Interpretive Report describes the
clients overall performance, subtest performance,
and performance on specific tasks that may contribute to further DRS-2 interpretation. A graphic profile
of the clients current performance (and up to three
previous administrations) also can be generated.
Reports can be edited on-screen to incorporate
additional clinical information or to edit descriptive
statements. The report saves valuable report-writing

time and provides useful documentation to assist in


rehabilitative and therapeutic planning for adults with
cognitive impairment.
The easy-to-use software provides user-friendly system functionality with program navigation tools, file
handling, report editing, Tooltips, and data export.

Dementia Rating Scale2: Alternate Form


(DRS-2: Alternate Form)
Kara S. Schmidt, PhD

The DRS-2 is a widely used instrument for the


assessment of neurocognitive status. Because it is
appropriate for use by professionals across multiple
disciplines (e.g.,neuropsychology, psychiatry,
neurology, gerontology), an equivalent form was
needed, and subsequently, the DRS-2: Alternate
Form was developed.
The DRS-2: Alternate Form reduces the practice
effects that occur with serial administrations of the
original DRS-2. This issue is particularly important
in the assessment of older adults with neuropsychiatric illness. Accurate documentation of cognitive
changes is crucial to arrive at a precise diagnosis.
Often, it is necessary to administer mental status
measures multiple times over a relatively brief
period. Thus, having two DRS-2 forms available
allows for a better characterization of declining cognitive status and an improvement in the evaluation of
treatment efficacy.
The DRS-2: Alternate Form test materials include
the Professional Manual Supplement, 1 set of
Stimulus Cards, Scoring Booklets, and Profile
Forms. The Professional Manual Supplement is an
adjunct to the original DRS-2 Professional Manual,
which provides all normative tables and data as
well as interpretive guidelines for both forms of the
DRS-2. The item content in the DRS-2: Alternate

strong. In addition, alternate form reliability between
the original DRS-2 and the DRS-2: Alternate Form
is strong, with a correlation coefficient of .82 for the
Total Score, and correlation coefficients ranging from
.66 to .80 for the subscales. Several other studies,
including a generalizability and equipercentile
equating, were utilized to determine the equivalency
between the two forms.

Test of Verbal Conceptualization and Fluency (TVCF)


Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD and Arthur MacNeill Horton, Jr., EdD

The TVCF is appropriate for


individually assessing students
with recognized disabilities and
children suspected of having one
or more learning disabilities.
Purpose: Measures
executive functions

Age: 8-89 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 20-30 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The TVCF is designed to measure multiple aspects of executive functions principally related to the integrity of
the frontal lobes of the brain through the use of several verbally weighted tasks. The TVCF is useful in clinical
neuropsychological examinations to detect brain injury and track rehabilitation progress, in the evaluation
of language functions and verbal ability, for disability determination under the Individuals With Disabilities
Education Act (IDEA), in psychoeducational testing, and in research on brain function, as well as other
applications.
The TVCF has four easy-to-administer subtests of primarily verbal and nonverbal tasks that emphasize
multiple aspects of verbal fluency, set-shifting and rule induction, concept identification, sequencing, and
visual search skills.
Categorical Fluency measures an individuals ability to retrieve words that fit within a conceptual category
(e.g.,animals, things to eat) and fluency of ideation.
Classification is a verbal measure of shifting and rule induction that is designed as a language-based analog to
the well-known WisconsinCard SortingTest.
Letter Naming measures word retrieval by initial sound and fluency of ideation.
Trails C measures the ability to coordinate high attentional demands, sequencing, visual search capacity, and the
ability to shift rapidly between Arabic numerals and linguistic representations of numbers.

The TVCF was designed and standardized for use with individuals ages 8-89 years. Standardized scores (or
scaled scores) are provided in the form of normalized T scores, along with their accompanying supplementary score conversions. The TVCF is a time- and cost-efficient tool for assessing the executive functioning of
individuals with traumatic brain injury, dementia, and speech/language impairment.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

For Patients With Prefrontal Cortex Damage, the IGT


Can Help Detect Decision-Making Impairment
Iowa Gambling Task (IGT)
Antoine Bechara, PhD

The IGT, originally developed to assist in detecting decision-making impairment in patients with
prefrontal cortex damage, is a computerized assessment that is carried out in real time and resembles
real-world contingencies. The IGT is ideal for use
with patients who exhibit poor decision-making skills
in the presence of otherwise normal or unaffected
intelligence because of head injury or insult, or any
other condition thought to impact the function of
the prefrontal cortex. The task allows examinees to
select cards from four decks displayed on-screen.
Examinees are instructed that the selection of each
card will result in winning money but that, every
so often, a card selection also will result in losing
money. Examinees are told to attempt to accumulate
as much money as possible.
Normative scores are automatically generated by
the software program. Two normative
standardsdemographically corrected (N = 932)
and U.S.Census-matched (N = 264)are available.
Several normative scores are generated by the
software, including Total Net Score, net scores for
each block of 20 cards/trials, total number of cards
selected from each deck, and total money won. In
addition, raw score and T-score profiles, which may
reveal relevant information (e.g.,learning curve,
random selection), are generated. Lastly, a trial-bytrial table that displays deck choice, amount won,
amount lost, total money, and time for each trial is
generated for each administration.
Many studies have drawn contrasts between the
IGT and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST).
The preponderance of evidence demonstrates that
the two tests seem to tap into two anatomically and
cognitively separate sectors of the prefrontal cortex:
The WCST taps into dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
functions, whereas the IGT taps into orbital/medial
(i.e.,ventromedial) prefrontal cortex functions.

Special Features
Several optional settings can be customized by the
examiner prior to administration, including:
Intertrial interval
Number of trials (i.e.,card selections)
Type of currency
Starting amount of money
Two export formats are available, enabling flexibility
with data management.
Import features enable the user to import data from
previous versions of the IGT.
Validity

Evidence provided by a number of research


studies suggests that the IGT is a valid measure.
Specifically, the IGT has been used in studies
examining decision-making capacity in a variety of
populations, including:





Focal brain lesions


Intact older adults
Substance addiction
Pathological gambling
Schizophrenia
Obsessive-compulsive
disorder
Anorexia nervosa

Obesity
Chronic pain
ADHD
Aggression disorders
Affective disorders
Huntingtons disease

Especially useful for research


and as part of a comprehensive
neuropsychological battery.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST)


David A. Grant, PhD and Esta A. Berg, PhD
Professional Manual by Robert K. Heaton, PhD, Gordon J. Chelune, PhD,
Jack L. Talley, PhD, Gary G. Kay, PhD, and Glenn Curtiss, PhD

Case illustrations aid in


scoring and interpretation.
Purpose: Assess perseveration
and abstract
reasoning

Age: 6.5-89 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 20-30 minutes

Qualification Level: C
Note:
For the WCST Training DVD and
Workbook, see page 125.

Although the WCST is used primarily to assess


perseveration and abstract thinking, it has increased
in popularity as a neuropsychological instrument.
It has been considered a measure of executive
function because of its reported sensitivity to
frontal lobe dysfunction. As such, the WCST allows
the clinician to assess the following frontal lobe
functions: strategic planning, organized searching,
utilizing environmental feedback to shift cognitive
sets, directing behavior toward achieving a goal, and
modulating impulsive responding.
Designed for individuals ages 6.5-89 years.
Has shown specific sensitivity to brain lesions
involving frontal lobes.
Can be considered a measure of executive function,
requiring the ability to develop and maintain an
appropriate problem-solving strategy across changing
stimulus conditions in order to achieve a future goal.
Provides objective scores not only of overall
success, but also for specific sources of difficulty
on the task (e.g.,inefficient initial conceptualization,
perseveration, failure to maintain a cognitive set,
inefficient learning across stages of the test).
The four stimulus cards incorporate three stimulus
parameters.
The stimulus cards and response cards use the
systematic figure configurations originally developed
and introduced in 1948 by David A. Grant, PhD, and
Esta A. Berg, PhD.
Raw score to normalized standard, percentile, and
T-score conversions.
Normative data derived from 899 normal children,
adolescents, and adults.

Administration/Scoring
The response cards are numbered from 1 to 64 on
the lower left corner of the reverse side to ensure a
standard order of presentation.
Respondents are required to sort the cards according
to different principles and to alter their approach
during the test administration.
Appropriate Populations

Clients should have normal or corrected vision and


hearing sufficient to adequately comprehend the
test instructions and to visually discriminate the
stimulus parameters of Color, Form, and Number.
Among clinical populations with known or suspected
brain dysfunction, these requirements may not be
fully met. In such cases, the reliability and validity of
the WCST data will depend on the clinical skill and
expertise of the examiner.
Special Features
Unlike other measures of abstraction, the WCST
provides objective measures of overall success and
identifies particular sources of difficulty on the task.
When used with more comprehensive ability testing,
the WCST is helpful in discriminating frontal from
nonfrontal lesions.

Wisconsin Card Sorting Test: Computer Version 4


Research Edition (WCST:CV4)
Robert K. Heaton, PhD and PAR Staff

This unlimited-use software is designed to assist


you in administering and scoring the Wisconsin
Card Sorting Test (WCST). The WCST:CV4 has
been updated to make the software easier to use.
The reports are more visually attractive and easier
to read than those reports generated by earlier
versions of the software.
Clinicians have the option of administering the test
on-screen (clients enter their responses via either the
keyboard or the mouse), or by entering the clients
item responses from a previous WCST administration.
The client record feature allows the clinician to
save basic demographic information and to store
test response data for each test associated with a
particular client. This helps the clinician track the
clients progress and monitor changes over time.
Entry of Item Responses
If the clinician chooses to enter the clients item
responses from the Record Form of a previous
WCST administration, the data-entry screen presents
only the possible valid responses for each card; this
prevents certain errors in data entry.
The clinician can either select all the valid
dimensions, or simply click on one of the valid
dimensions to which the client was matching; the
software will automatically record any other dimension
matches.
On-Screen Administration

The software automatically tells the respondent


(by both an audible response in English and an
on-screen message in one of 10 user-definable lang
uages) whether the choice was correct or incorrect.

WCST:CV4 Report

The software program automatically scores the


responses according to Dr. Heatons scoring system
and then generates a report which includes the
following information and features:
Demographic information and test performance
variables.
WCST raw scores and corresponding age- and
education-corrected standard scores, T scores, and
percentile scores for major WCST variables for clients
ages 6.5-89 years.
Scores for individuals ages 20-89 years also are
compared to normative scores derived from an adult
sample matched by age to 1995 U.S. Census data.

Wisconsin Card Sorting Test64 Card Version (WCST-64)


Susan K. Kongs, Laetitia L. Thompson, PhD, Grant L. Iverson, PhD, and Robert K. Heaton, PhD

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) has been widely used with many different patient groups.
Recently, concerns for patient comfort, managed care, and tighter research budgets have encouraged both
clinicians and researchers to use shorter test batteries.
The WCST-64 uses only the first 64 WCST cards, thereby shortening the administration time for most
individuals while retaining the task requirements of the standard version. The WCST-64 also eliminates variability in the number of cards administered, facilitating straightforward comparisons of test-retest stability and
comparisons of individual test results with normative and validity data.
Shortens administration time by
using only the first 64 WCST cards.

The Revised Comprehensive Norms for an


Expanded Halstead-Reitan Battery: Demographically
Adjusted Neuropsychological Norms for African
American and Caucasian Adults Professional
Manual describes a normative system designed
to assist in the interpretation of the tests in an
expanded Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test
Battery (HRB).
The instrument provides test score corrections
based on age, gender, education, and race/ethnicity for more than 50 test measures, including core
Halstead-Reitan measures, lateralized sensorimotor
and psychomotor Halstead-Reitan measures, as
well as additional tests of executive functions, attention, memory, spatial, verbal/academic, and motor
skills. A major purpose of the normative system is
to improve neurodiagnostic accuracy by providing
simultaneous corrections for demographic variables
that can relate significantly to test performance: age,
education, gender, and race/ethnicity. The use of
demographically corrected norms can substantially
increase the probability of correctly identifying those
individuals who have or do not have brain disorders.
Another purpose of the system is to convert raw
scores on diverse tests to a common score metric.
The ability to convert raw test scores to demographically corrected scores has a number of advantages
for the neuropsychologist. First, it facilitates comparisons of an individuals test results with normal
expectations based on that persons demographic
characteristics. Second, because T scores in this

normative system are more directly comparable,


use of these scores facilitates the analysis of an
individuals patterns of strengths and deficits across
tests.
In the Professional Manual, the authors examine
the degree of similarity between the Revised
Comprehensive Norms and the previous edition.
They describe and illustrate the conversion of raw
scores to demographically corrected scores. In addition, four clinical case examples are presented, and
several issues related to the use of the corrected
scores in clinical interpretation and research applications are addressed.
A new neuropsychological summary score, the
Global Deficit Score (GDS), was constructed
to reflect the number and severity of impaired
performances on the expanded HRB. An advantage
of the GDS is that, similar to clinical interpretations
of neuropsychological data, it considers all major
measures in the battery and gives greater weight
to deficits than to strengths (i.e.,it minimizes the
chance that average to above average performances on some component test measures will
obscure impairments on others).

Revised Comprehensive Norms for an Expanded


Halstead-Reitan Battery: Demographically Adjusted
Neuropsychological Norms for African American and
Caucasian Adults Scoring Program
Robert K. Heaton, PhD, S. Walden Miller, PhD, Michael J. Taylor, PhD, and Igor Grant, MD

A companion to the Revised Comprehensive Norms


for an Expanded Halstead-Reitan Battery, the
unlimited-use Scoring Program software significantly
facilitates the scoring and profiling of an expanded
Halstead-Reitan Battery. The program requires only
that the examiner input the individuals demographic
and raw score information. Then, the program automatically computes the T scores and deficit scores
(including the Global Deficit Score that considers
all major test measures in the battery). The program
also classifies each score qualitatively (e.g.,above
average to severely impaired) and graphically
displays all sets of variables.
The software enables the clinician to choose which
normative sample (African American or Caucasian)
to use for report and profile generation. The profile
editor allows the viewing of an individuals scores
based on both the African American and Caucasian
norms. The Scoring Program has the ability to
overlay profiles from a clients previous administrations on to profiles from a current administration.

The Scoring Program also allows the user to import


scores from the previous DOSversion; the software
then produces a report of corrected scores based
on the Revised Comprehensive Norms. Finally, the
software allows for batching and exporting data on
groups of patients to facilitate research applications.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Stroop Color and Word Test: Childrens Version


Charles J. Golden, PhD, Shawna M. Freshwater, and Zarabeth Golden

Helps to identify deficits


in executive processing,
developmental deficits,
and school-related problems.
Purpose: Differentiate between
non-brain-damaged
psychiatric and braindamaged patients

Age: 5-14 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 10-15 minutes

Qualification Level: C
Note:
Stopwatch requiredSee page 261 for
stopwatches.

The childrens version of the Stroop Color and Word


Test was developed in response to the demand for a
Stroop test that is similar to the adult version, but is
specifically normed and interpreted for children. The
new Stroop Color and Word Test: Childrens Version
Manual details specific administration, scoring, and
interpretive strategies for use with children ages
5-14 years.
The interpretation of a childs score is affected by
developmental trends, possible learning disabilities,
attentional problems, emotional problems, and
overall maturitytherefore, it is more difficult to interpret a childs score than it is to interpret an adults
score. The childrens version of the Stroop has been
designed to avoid measurement issues that exist
in attempting to apply the scoring approach of the
adult Stroop to childrens data. Interpretive strategies
also differ between younger children (ages 5-10)
and older children (ages 11-14). Therefore, interpretive strategies for each age group are presented
separately in the Manual.
The task consists of moving down five columns
on each page as quickly as possible, and reading

words or naming colors. The test yields three scores


(i.e.,Raw Word score, Raw Color score, and Raw
Color-Word score), based on the number of items
completed. Raw scores are then converted to
T scores by age using the Appendixes in the Manual.
In addition, an Interference score is derived from the
difference between the Color-Word T score and the
Color T score. Each Stroop Test Booklet consists of
three basic sections:
Word Pagenames of colors are printed in black ink;
Color Pagesemantically meaningless symbols are
printed in various colors of ink; and
Color-Word Pagecomposed of words from the first
page (i.e.,Word Page) printed in the colors from the
second page (i.e.,Color Page).

Effectively differentiates normal


individuals, non-brain-damaged
psychiatric patients, and
brain-damaged patients.
Purpose: Differentiate between
non-brain-damaged
psychiatric and braindamaged patients

Age: 15-90 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 5 minutes (timed)

The Stroop Color and Word Test has long been a


standard measure in neuropsychological assessment. It measures cognitive processing and
provides valuable diagnostic information on brain
dysfunction, cognition, and psychopathology. The
2002 Examiners Manual provides updated scoring,
norms, and interpretations for ages 15-90 years.
The Stroop Color and Word Test is based on the
observation that individuals can read words much
faster than they can identify and name colors.
The cognitive dimension tapped by the Stroop
is associated with cognitive flexibility, resistance
to interference from outside stimuli, creativity,
and psychopathologyall of which influence the
individuals ability to cope with cognitive stress and
process complex input. Whether the test is used as
a screener or as part of a general battery, its quick
and easy administration, validity, and reliability make
it a highly useful instrument.

The Stroop Color and Word Test consists of a Word


Page with color words printed in black ink, a Color
Page with Xs printed in color, and a Color-Word
Page with words from the first page printed in colors
from the second page (the color and the word do
not match). The test-taker looks at each sheet and
moves down the columns, reading words or naming
the ink colors as quickly as possible within a time
limit. The test yields three scores based on the number of items completed on each of the three stimulus
sheets. In addition, an Interference score, which is
useful in determining the individuals cognitive flexi
bility, creativity, and reaction to cognitive pressures
also can be calculated. A stopwatch is required to
administer each test.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Stroop Neuropsychological Screening Test (SNST)


Max R. Trenerry, PhD, Bruce Crosson, PhD, James DeBoe, PhD, and William R. Leber, PhD

This standardized version of the Stroop consists


of two parts. In the Color Task, the individual reads
aloud a list of 112 color names in which no name is
printed in its matching color. In the Color-Word Task,
the individual names the color of ink in which the
color names are printed.
The SNST may be administered and scored by
individuals with limited training. Interpretation of
the resulting Color and Color-Word scores requires
professional training in psychology, or educational
testing. A stopwatch is required to administer each
2-minute test.

Reliability/Validity

The SNST was standardized on 156 adults ages


18-79 years. Norms are provided for two age
groups, 18-49 years and 50 years and older. The test
correctly differentiates 79%-92% of brain-damaged
adults from normal adults. Test-retest reliability is .90.

Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM)


Tom N. Tombaugh, PhD

The TOMM is a 50-item visual recognition test


specially designed to help clinicians discriminate
between malingered and true memory impairments.
It can be used as part of an extensive psychological
battery in hospitals, outpatient facilities, or private
practices. Administration takes approximately
15 minutes and the results are easy to score.
The TOMM consists of two learning trials and
an optional retention trial. The two learning trials
alone are usually sufficient to assess malingering;
however, use of the retention trial adds only a few
minutes to the test and helps to corroborate the
results. The TOMM provides two cutoff scores:
(1) below chance, and (2) criteria based on head
injured and cognitively impaired patients.

The TOMM Manual provides extensive data that


have been collected on a number of groups including cognitively intact normals and clinical samples
that include individuals with no cognitive impairment,
cognitive impairment, aphasia, traumatic brain injury,
and dementia. The TOMM has demonstrated good
face validity as a memory test.

The WRAML2 Provides You With a More Versatile Test of Memory


Functioning and New Learning for Individuals Ages 5-90 Years
Wide Range Assessment of Memory and Learning,
Second Edition (WRAML2)
David Sheslow, PhD and Wayne Adams, PhD, ABPP

Normed for children, adolescents, and adults,


the WRAML2 is a standardized instrument that
allows the user to evaluate an individuals memory
functioning. The WRAML2 provides evaluation of
both immediate and delayed memory ability, as well
as the acquisition of new learning.
Like the original WRAML, the WRAML2 includes
standard scores, scaled scores, and percentiles.
Age equivalents are provided for the child and preadolescent age groups. Only one subtest (i.e., Visual
Learning) was eliminated in the revision. Changes
to the structure of the WRAML2 provide increased
flexibility. Examiners may choose to administer all
or some of the WRAMLs six core subtests and to
augment those subtests with a number of optional
subtests.
The WRAML2 Core Battery is composed of two
Verbal, two Visual, and two Attention-Concentration
subtests, yielding a Verbal Memory Index, a Visual
Memory Index, and an Attention-Concentration

Index, respectively. Together, these subtests yield


a General Memory Index. New to this revision is
the Working Memory Index, which is composed of
the Symbolic Working Memory and Verbal Working
Memory subtests. In addition, four new recognition
subtests have been added: Design Recognition,
Picture Recognition, Verbal Recognition, and Story
Memory Recognition.
The Core Battery takes less than an hour to
administer. A Screening Battery consisting of four
subtests from the Core Battery provides an overview
of memory functioning. Several subtests are
included to supplement the Core Battery, allowing
the examiner to add additional subtests and indexes
to facilitate qualitative analyses when indicated.
Reliability coefficients for the Core Battery Verbal
Memory Index, Visual Memory Index, and AttentionConcentration Index are .92, .89, and .86, respectively. The alpha reliability for the General Memory
Index is .93.

The WRAML2 is psychometrically solid, and a credible flexible purpose


instrument. It can be used by the subtest as a bedside screening measure,
or as a full and reasonably comprehensive fixed battery memory test. The
huge age range of the WRAML2 conceivably makes it a one-stop memory
shop for the clinician who sees both children and adults. Clinicians and
researchers who are not wedded to the Wechsler brand name will find a
powerful and usable instrument in the WRAML2.

Follow-up examinations of
children and adolescents can
be performed with the WRAML2
without the need to use an
alternate test instrument.

these important measures.

Two widely used memory measures, the Wide


Range Assessment of Memory and Learning,
2nd Ed. (WRAML2) and the Test of Memory and
Learning, 2nd Ed. (TOMAL-2), are used to help
professionals measure memory and supplement
evaluations of ADHD and reading problems in
children and adolescents. The authors give practical guidance about administration, scoring, and

interpretation of results for both assessment measures. This book is designed to help busy mental
health professionals quickly learn the skills needed
to administer and interpret both the WRAML2 and
the TOMAL-2.

Brief Visuospatial Memory TestRevised (BVMT-R)


Ralph H. B. Benedict, PhD, ABCN

The BVMT-R is designed for use as a criterion measure of visuospatial memory within a large battery of
neuropsychological tests, as a screening measure
within a brief neuropsychological battery, and as
a repeat measure to document changes in neuro
cognitive skills over time. It has been standardized
and normed for use with adults ages 18-79 years.
The BVMT-R materials were designed to be handled
and transported easily, so that the test can be
administered in a clinic setting or at the bedside
using a clipboard.
Each of the six equivalent, alternate BVMT-R stimulus forms consists of 6 geometric figures printed
in a 2 x 3 array on a separate page of the Recall
Stimulus Booklet. In the three Learning Trials, the
respondent views the Recall Stimulus page for 10
seconds and then is asked to draw as many of the
figures as possible in their correct location on a page
in the Response Booklet. After a 25-minute delay
which includes primarily verbal activities, the task is
repeated. Then, the respondent is asked to identify
which of the 12 figures in the Recognition Stimulus
Booklet were included in the geometric figures on
the original Recall Stimulus page. As a final step, an
optional Copy trial may be administered to screen

for severe visuoconstructive deficits and to help in


scoring recall responses.
Reliability coefficients range from .96 to .97 for the
three Learning trials, .97 for Total Recall, and .97
for Delayed Recall. Test-retest reliability coefficients
range from .60 for Trial 1 to .84 for Trial 3. The
BVMT-R correlates most strongly with other tests of
visual memory and less strongly with tests of verbal
memory.
The HVLT-R/BVMT-R Professional Manual
Supplement provides information on the
development, use, and interpretation of several
new scores, including Reliable Change scores
and Discrepancy scores.

Purpose: Measure visuospatial


memory

Hopkins Verbal Learning TestRevised (HVLT-R)


Jason Brandt, PhD and Ralph H. B. Benedict, PhD

The HVLT-R offers a brief assessment of verbal


learning and memory in adolescents and adults. It
is easy to administer and score and is well-tolerated
even by significantly impaired individuals. Its use has
been validated with brain-disordered populations
(e.g.,Alzheimers disease, Huntingtons disease,
amnestic disorders).
Six distinct forms of the HVLT-R are available, eliminating practice effects on repeat administrations.
Each form consists of a list of 12 nouns (targets)
with four words drawn from each of three semantic
categories.
The semantic categories differ across the six forms,
but the forms are very similar in their psychometric
properties. Each form is printed in a different color.
Raw scores are derived for Total Recall, Delayed
Recall, Retention (%retained), and a Recognition
Discrimination Index.
The HVLT-R has high test-retest reliability, and its
construct, concurrent, and discriminant validity have

been well established. The Professional Manual


provides information on administration and scoring,
interpretation (including four case examples), development and psychometric characteristics, reliability,
and validity. Raw score to T-score conversions
by age group are provided in the Appendix. The
HVLT-R/BVMT-R Professional Manual Supplement
provides information on the development, use,
and interpretation of several new scores, including
Reliable Change scores and Discrepancy scores.

Six distinct forms are available,


eliminating practice effects

Visual Search and Attention Test (VSAT)


Max R. Trenerry, PhD, Bruce Crosson, PhD, James DeBoe, PhD, and William R. Leber, PhD

This norm-referenced test quickly measures attentional processes commonly disrupted in acute and chronic
brain damage or disease. The VSAT consists of four visual cancellation tasks that require the respondent to
cross out letters and symbols that are identical to a target. It yields an overall attention score and provides
separate scores for left- and right-side performance to assess visual field defects, unilateral spatial neglect,
or syndromes that affect the perception of portions of the visual space.
Reliability/Validity

Quickly measures attentional


processes commonly disrupted
in acute and chronic brain
damage or disease.
Purpose: Measure attentional
processes

Test-retest reliability of the VSAT is .95 for an average retest interval of 2 months. It correctly differentiated
84 to 86% of normal and brain-damaged subjects in validation and cross-validation samples. Sensitivity and
specificity ranged from .86 to .87. Normative data are provided by age groups from 18-60 years and older.

and subjective organization. The comprehensive
handbook for the RAVLT contains valuable information including more than a dozen variations: test
forms and stimulus sheets of various lengths, in
various languages, using various recognition and
recall strategies.

Because the test is brief, straightforward, easy


to understand, and appropriate for children,
adolescents, and adults, it has gained widespread
acceptance. However, until now, comprehensive
data about the RAVLT norms, validity studies, and
different administration and scoring procedures had
not been collected in one source.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

Continuous Visual Memory Test (CVMT)


Donald E. Trahan, PhD and Glenn J. Larrabee, PhD

Studies suggest that using complex, ambiguous designs and a recognition format to measure visual learning and memory may increase task sensitivity and reduce the confounding influence of verbal encoding
strategies. This format also eliminates the motor responses required by drawing tasks and restricts the verbal
labeling required by tests that use simplistic geometric figures and common objects.

Provides expanded normative


data for older adult respondents.
Purpose: Assess visual
memory

Age: 7-15 years and


18-80 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 45-50 minutes


(includes 30-minute
delay)

Qualification Level: C

The CVMT Includes Three Tasks for Assessing Visual Memory


Acquisition Task tests recognition memory by asking respondents to discriminate new from repeated stimuli
using 112 designs presented at two-second intervals.
Delayed Recognition Task measures retrieval from long-term storage after a 30-minute delay, asking respondents
to distinguish old stimuli from perceptually similar stimuli.
Visual Discrimination Task distinguishes visual discrimination deficits from visual memory problems.

The Manual Supplement provides normative data for 778 U.S. and Canadian children. The revised Scoring
Form incorporates Total score cutoffs for the Delayed Recognition Task by age group. The clinical sensitivity of the CVMT has been demonstrated in patients with unilateral right hemisphere CVA, individuals with
Alzheimers disease, and patients who have suffered severe head trauma.

16-69 years

Admin: Individual

Time: Differs for each test

Qualification Level: C

The MAE is a relatively brief test battery designed


to evaluate the presence, severity, and qualitative
aspects of aphasic disorder. Three tests assess
different aspects of oral expressionnaming,
sentence repetition, and verbal associative capacity;
three tests assess oral verbal understanding; one
test assesses reading comprehension; and three
tests assess oral, written, and block spelling. Speech
articulation and the fluency-nonfluency dimension of
expressive speech are rated, but not systematically
sampled. Writing is evaluated from performance on
the test of written spelling.
Most of the tests were standardized on a sample of
360 individuals, ranging in age from 16 to 69years,
whose native language was English, and who
showed no evidence or history of hemispheric
brain disease. The MAE was also standardized on
229children ages 6-12 years who were within the
normal range of intelligence.
Spanish Version Available!

The MAE-S is not a direct translation of the


original version, but is a very useful adaptation with
different terminology and items that are relevant to
Spanish-speaking individuals. The standardization
sample consisted of 234 adults without a history
of neuropsychological impairment whose primary
language was Spanish.

Ruff 2 & 7 Selective Attention Test


Ronald M. Ruff, PhD and C. Christopher Allen, PhD

The Ruff 2 & 7 Test is designed to measure


sustained and selective attention. It consists of a
series of 20 trials of a visual search and cancellation
task. The respondent detects and marks through all
occurrences of the two target digits: 2 and 7.
In the 10 Automatic Detection trials, the target digits
are embedded among alphabetical letters that serve
as distractors.
In the 10 Controlled Search trials, the target digits
are embedded among other numbers that serve as
distractors.
Correct hits and errors are counted for each trial and
serve as the basis for scoring the test.
Accuracy scores evaluate the number of targets
identified in relation to the number of possible targets.

Reliability/Validity
Results of reliability analyses suggest high internal
consistency and high split-half reliability for all 2 & 7
Test measures.
Convergent and discriminant validity demonstrate that
sustained attention is captured by the combination of
2 & 7 Test Speed and Accuracy scores.
Factorial validity studies confirm that the Ruff 2 & 7
Test measures both sustained attention and selective
attention.

Digit Vigilance Test (DVT)


Ronald F. Lewis, PhD

Sensitive to subtle changes in neuropsychological status, but relatively insensitive to the effect of
repeated administrations, the DVT is a simple task
designed to measure vigilance during rapid visual
tracking and accurate selection of target stimuli.
It appears to isolate alertness and vigilance while
placing minimal demands on two other components
of attention: selectivity and capacity.
Four color-coordinated Scoring Keys.
Administration and scoring can be accomplished
by individuals with no formal training under
the supervision of a qualified psychologist.
Interpretation within the context of a comprehensive
neuropsychological evaluation requires training in
clinical psychology or neuropsychology.

Respondents are asked to find and cross out either


6s or 9s, which appear randomly within 59 rows of
single digits.
The 59 rows of digits are printed in red on the first
stimulus page and in blue on the second.

NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT

The BTA Enables You to Rapidly Assess


Attentional Impairment in Nonaphasic Hearing Adults...
Now on Audio CD!

Brief Test of Attention (BTA)


David Schretlen, PhD

Provides rapid bedside


assessment of
attentional impairment.
Purpose: Assess severity
of attentional
impairment

Age: Nonaphasic hearing


adults 17-82 years

Admin: Individual

The BTA is an auditory perception task that measures divided attention in the verbal-linguistic system. It
provides a rapid, bedside assessment of attentional impairment among nonaphasic hearing adults, including
those with visual and motor impairments that preclude tests which require visual scanning or manual dexterity. It is standardized for use with adults ages 17-82 years who can distinguish between spoken numbers and
spoken letters of the alphabet.
The BTA consists of two parallel forms presented via audio CD. On Form N (Numbers), a voice reads 10 lists
of letters and numbers that increase in length from 4 to 18 elements. The respondents task is to disregard
the letters presented and count how many numbers were read aloud. Form L (Letters) consists of the same
10 lists, but the respondent must disregard the numbers and count how many letters were read aloud. The
number of correctly monitored lists is summed across both forms, with raw scores ranging from 0 to 20. Test
materials include the Professional Manual, the Stimulus Audio CD, and the Scoring Form.

Now With Scoring Software!

Ruff Neurobehavioral Inventory (RNBI)


Ronald M. Ruff, PhD and Kristin M. Hibbard, PhD

The RNBI is a 243-item self-report questionnaire


that assesses an individuals perception of the
important dimensions of his/her daily life activities
following a catastrophic event, such as a major
illness or injury.
The RNBI can provide diagnostic insights and
assess treatment outcomes. During the recovery
phase, the RNBI can track the rate of improvement
based on the patients self-perceptions of daily
problems.
The RNBI consists of 17 Premorbid Basic scales
and 18 Postmorbid Basic scales. Scale scores
are combined to create four Premorbid and four
Postmorbid Composite scale scores that provide
global information about the individuals perceived
cognitive, emotional, and physical functioning,
as well as his/her overall quality of life. The RNBI
also contains four Validity scales: two that assess
abnormal response styles (i.e.,Inconsistency
and Infrequency) and two that assess impression
management (i.e.,Negative and Positive). The
17RNBI Critical Items provide additional interpretive
information according to various clinical areas of
interest.
The RNBI offers a number of advantages over a
general history form.
Gathers data according to theoretical constructs
(responses are scaled psychometrically).
Allows judgments based on normative data for either
the general population or a clinical population.
Captures premorbid functions in a comprehensive
manner, facilitating a direct comparison between
premorbid and postmorbid functioning.

Allows the clinician to analyze comparable


scales and explore potential interactions
among reported symptoms.
Provides four Validity scales (Infrequency/
Inconsistency and Negative/Positive).
Presents information about perceived functioning
that can be integrated with performance-based
assessments of functioning.

Assesses an individuals
perception of quality of life
after a traumatic event.

RNBI Scoring Program Included With Kit!

The RNBI-SP aids in the scoring and profiling of


the RNBI. After hand entry of an individuals item
responses, the software creates a comprehensive
Score Report with Score Summary Tables for
both the Validity and Content scales. The Validity
section contains brief interpretive text to help you
understand an individuals results. The software also
features a T-score profile, a Critical Items Table, and
Item Response Tables that are divided by scale.
The Score Summary Tables consist of raw scores,
Tscores, and Qualitative Interpretive Ranges for
both the premorbid and postmorbid components of
each scale, along with the T-score difference.

Helps you to write useful


neuropsychological reports.
Qualification Level: A

Neuropsychologists are routinely faced with the


task of summarizing a wealth of complex data,
observations, impressions, and recommendations
in a concise and readable report for recipients in
diverse professional settings. This edited volume
provides clear and easy-to-follow guidelines to help
clinical practitioners, teachers, and students prepare
consumer-oriented, user-friendly, and clinically
useful neuropsychological reports. The goal is to
create a report that will help the recipient make
appropriate decisions regarding treatment, care, and
rehabilitation.
The first section of the book deals with broad issues
that define the practitioner, the consumer of the
report, and their interface at the time of referral. The

next section deals with the report itself (i.e.,scope


of assessment, background and collateral information, general issues, whether/how to include scores,
writing recommendations, use of computerized
assessment tools), and the ethical issues involved
in generating brief, focused assessments. The
third section provides guidelines to writing brief,
timely, and informative reports targeted for specific
audiences. The final chapter of this book provides
sample reports for consumers in diverse settings.
These reports were generated by contributors to
illustrate the differences in style, content, and format

PAI Law Enforcement, Corrections, and Public


Safety Selection Report Module for the PAI-SP
Michael D. Roberts, PhD, ABPP and PAR Staff

Assists psychologists in screening both public safety


job applicants and current public safety employees
who are referred for psychological evaluation for
reasons such as mandated fitness for duty, weapon
carrying screening, and a variety of special unit
assignments (e.g.,S.W.A.T., hostage negotiation).
Profiles compare the applicants test scores
with those of the PAI community sample, with
approximately 18,000 police and other public safety
applicants, and with police and other public safety
applicants of the same gender and ethnic group.
Additional profiles contrast current applicants applying
for public safety jobs with norms from a group of
applicants in four job classifications (police officer,
communications dispatcher, corrections officer, and
firefighter/EMT) who successfully completed the job
screening procedures for the same position, were
hired, and completed at least 1 year in that position.

PAI Interpretive Report for Correctional Settings


(PAI-CS) Module
John F. Edens, PhD, Mark A. Ruiz, PhD, and PAR Staff

Focuses exclusively
on corrections issues.
Qualification Level: C
Requirements:
Prior installation of the PAISP (V.3.0 or
higher); Internet connection or telephone
for software activation and counter
update
Note:
Customers planning to use the on-screen
administration feature of this module
must also purchase PAI-SP Counter
Serial Number Uses (see page 29).

Based on the PAI, the PAI-CS is a computergenerated interpretive report designed to assist correctional psychologists and staff in the management
and treatment of offenders. The PAI-CS identifies
the possible risk of institutional misconduct that the
offender poses during incarceration, describes the
psychosocial needs of the offender, and estimates
how the offender is likely to respond to incarceration and rehabilitative programs. A unique Staff
Management Summary is included to provide an
integrated summary of the offenders PAI profile in
terms of his or her specific psychological functioning
and institutional management factors.
A separate offender sample was collected for the
PAI-CS. Offender comparison profiles contrast the
offenders test scores with (a) the PAI community
sample norms, (b) approximately 1,200 incarcerated
offenders from multiple correctional facilities around
the country, and (c) offenders of the same gender.
The PAI-CS can be administered (a) on-screen,
(b) using the Item/Response Booklet, or (c) using
the reusable Item Booklet and the scannable
Answer Sheet for report generation through the
PAI-CS On-Site Scanning Module or through PARs
Professional Report Service.
The PAI-CS includes several experimental scales
developed with the corrections normative sample
data. In addition to the Addictive Characteristics

Scale (ACS), which helps identify individuals at risk


for substance use problems, two new validity scales
have been developed to aid in identifying locationspecific random responding. An additional validity
scale is introduced to help identify inconsistent
responding that is specific to correctional settings.
Reliability/Validity
Internal consistency estimates for the Clinical scales
range from .82 to .92 in the corrections normative
sample, .74 to 94 in the community normative sample,
and .82 to .94 in the clinical sample.
Test-retest correlations of the Clinical scales range
from .79 to .92 in a combined sample (N = 155) of
community-dwelling adults and college students.

FE adds a considerable amount of flexibility by providing a specialized Forensic Report. This report is
not intended to replace the basic RIAP5 Interpretive
Report. Clinicians are advised to draw on both the
Interpretive Report and the Forensic Report to arrive
at their conclusions.
The Forensic Report is focused on the forensic
issues of criminal responsibility and competency to
stand trial, personal injury, and parental fitness/child
custody. The three types of Forensic Reports are:
Criminal Case Issues, Personal Injury Case Issues,
and Family Law Case Issues. Each report begins
with a section on validity and malingering. The software allows clinicians to select which sections of the
Forensic Report to include for a specific individual.
This software was developed to assist clinicians in
using the Rorschach when conducting specific types
of forensic evaluations, including:
Criminal Case Issues
Competency to stand trial.
Sanity at the time of an alleged offense.
Advisability of probation or parole (including
consideration of dangerousness, suicide risk, and
amenability to treatment).
Personal Injury Case Issues
Posttraumatic stress disorder and other anxiety
disturbances.
Affective and cognitive features of depression.
Psychotic loss of contact with reality.
Family Law Case Issues
Effective parenting with regard to psychological
disturbance, coping skills, and interpersonal
accessibility.
Includes a Categorized Reference List

In addition to the Forensic Report, the RIAP5 FE


also includes a reference list that allows clinicians to
review a selected category of references organized
according to forensic issues. Clinicians can print out
specific sections of the reference list in order to help

them further evaluate the applicability of their findings and to prepare testimony based in part on the
Rorschach data. The reference list primarily includes
articles and chapters focusing on the Rorschach
Inkblot Method, but additional references regarding
basic forensic psychology issues are listed. Topics
include:
Basic considerations
Child and adolescent
assessment
Criticisms and rebuttals
Cross cultural
applications
Diagnostic correlates
Trauma and abuse
Forensic applications
Interpretation
Malingering

Normative data
Reliability
Research methodology
Treatment planning and
outcome assessment
Usage and

Validity
Violence and
aggression

Special Features
The RIAP5 FE Forensic Report was written by leading
Rorschach scholar Irving B. Weiner, PhD; he has
published extensively on the use of the Rorschach in
forensic assessments.
The software includes a categorized, on-screen
reference list.
Rorschach Response Recording Forms facilitate and
document Rorschach responses.

studies with more recent research and includes a
conceptual framework for understanding feigned
mental disorders plus explicit instructions for administration, scoring, and classification. The SIRS-2
Manual also provides clarifications of malingering,
factitious disorders, feigning, and related terms;
an understanding of explanatory models and their
relevance to clinical practice; a conceptualization of
detection strategies within different domains; and
insights into the SIRS-2 primary scales, including their general category of detection strategies
(unlikely vs. amplified) and conceptual relationship to
other commonly used measures.
The updated Interview Booklet contains test questions and their ratings. Two security templates are
provided to block item content for instances in which
evaluators are legally required to produce SIRS-2
item responses. A new Spanish Language Interview
Booklet also is available.

The SIRS was designed for the assessment of


feigning, including a scale to assess defensiveness;
the content of each scale varies so that endorsement
of items on a particular scale does not reflect any
specific mental disorder. The SIRS-2 adds additional
scales and indexes to more thoroughly evaluate client
responses.
The 16-page Interview Booklet contains 172 items,
32 of which are Repeated Inquiries to detect
inconsistency of responding. The content covers a
wide range of psychopathology, as well as symptoms
that are unlikely to be true.
The SIRS-2 is designed to detect response styles
commonly associated with feigning and allows for
classification as feigning (definite or probable) or
genuine responding, as well as identification of
inconsistent and other problematic response styles
that have implications for therapeutic dynamics and
other treatment considerations.
The wealth of empirical support established for the
measure gives users confidence in the validity of the
SIRS-2 for forensic populations. This is particularly
important as findings of psychological evaluations are
often closely scrutinized during court proceedings.
In particular, the SIRS-2 demonstrates excellent
discriminant validity when comparing feigning versus
genuine samples.

Structured Interview Format Quickly


Targets Malingered Psychiatric Illness
Miller Forensic Assessment of Symptoms Test (M-FAST)
Holly A. Miller, PhD

The M-FAST is a brief 25-item screening interview for individuals ages 18 years and older that
provides information regarding the probability that
an individual is feigning psychiatric illness. Most
malingering and symptom validity instruments
assess malingered cognitive and/or neuropsychological deficits. The M-FAST focuses exclusively on
malingered psychiatric illness.
The brief structured interview format saves valuable
clinical time and provides considerable flexibility for
the clinician to determine when, where, and to whom
the M-FAST should be administered. The M-FAST
may be integrated into a larger evaluation with
minimal difficulty.
The M-FAST also facilitates rapid identification of
individuals who require additional assessment.
When the M-FAST results indicate a probability of
feigning, a more comprehensive assessment instrument (e.g.,the Structured Interview of Reported
Symptoms [SIRS]) can be administered to obtain
more detailed and definitive information.
The M-FAST scales operationalize response
styles and interview strategies that have been
demonstrated to successfully identify individuals
who are attempting to feign psychopathology:
Reported vs. Observed (symptoms) (RO), Extreme
Symptomatology (ES), Rare Combinations (RC),
Unusual Hallucinations (UH), Unusual Symptom
Course (USC), Negative Image (NI), and
Suggestibility (S).

The M-FAST Professional Manual provides information about administration, scoring, and interpretation
(with illustrative case examples).
M-FAST results provide interpretive information at
three distinct levels: the M-FAST Total score provides
an estimate of the likelihood that the respondent is
malingering psychopathology; the M-FAST scale
scores provide information about the nature of the
individuals response styles that can help to explain
how he/she is attempting to malinger mental illness;
and the UH, RC, RO, and ES scales have been
found to consistently differentiate malingerers (both
simulators and known or suspected malingerers)
from honest responders. Responses to individual
items also provide valuable interpretive information.
The M-FAST was developed and validated with both
simulation and known-groups samples. Validity also
has been demonstrated across gender and ethnic/
racial groups, and across settings (inpatient, outpatient, and nonclinical). The M-FAST may be used
in a wide variety of settings (e.g.,V.A. hospitals,
correctional institutions, and inpatient/outpatient
treatment facilities).

Responses to individual
items provide valuable
interpretive information.

Time: Approximately 10-15


minutes

Qualification Level: C

The SIMS is a 75-item, true/false screening instrument that assesses for both malingered psychopathology and neuropsychological symptoms. The
instrument reduces clinician burden and increases
assessment efficiency by serving as a screen for
malingering and by reducing hands-on administration time. In addition to serving as a screening
measure, the SIMS can be used as part of a battery
of tests providing convergent evidence of malingering, rather than relying on a single instrument for
diagnosis. The SIMS also is recommended as part
of a comprehensive approach to the evaluation in
which alternative hypotheses for response patterns
are to be considered.
The SIMS is an excellent tool for forensic clinicians
working with competency and Not Guilty by Reason
of Insanity (NGRI) evaluations, forensic researchers,
and clinicians who evaluate disability and workers
compensation issues, as well as mental health
providers in inpatient settings. It demonstrates sensitivity, specificity, and efficacy across both simulation
and known-groups designs with honest responders,
psychiatric patients, and clinical malingerers. The
SIMS is written at a 5th-grade reading level.

The SIMS consists of a Professional Manual and the


SIMS Response Form (a two-part carbonless form).
The clinician compares raw scores to empirically
derived and validated clinical cutoff scores indicative of likely malingering. Interpretations for each
scale score and the Total score are provided in the
Professional Manual. Based on the comparison
to the clinical cutoff scores, the individual may be
referred for more extensive evaluation.
The SIMS provides five scale domains as well as
an overall score for probable malingering (i.e.,Total
score):




Psychosis (P)
Low Intelligence (LI)
Neurologic Impairment (NI)
Affective Disorders (AF)
Amnestic Disorders (AM)

The SIMS demonstrated very good utility in identifying malingering across multiple studies. In the SIMS
cross-validation sample, efficacy was .95, while
sensitivity was .96 and specificity was .88.

Victoria Symptom Validity Test (VSVT)


Daniel Slick, PhD, Grace Hopp, MA, Esther Strauss, PhD, and Garrie B. Thompson, PhD

Suitable for use in both outpatient and inpatient


settings, the VSVT is a computerized test that uses
a forced-choice (two-alternative) model to assess
possible exaggeration or feigning of cognitive
impairments.
The VSVT unlimited-use software administers the
test, calculates all scores, and produces a 6-page
report of the test results.
Large, full-page color graphs of your clients VSVT
performance, as well as graphs of the performance of
relevant comparison groups, can be easily viewed or
printed for display.
The 48 VSVT items are presented in three blocks of
16 items each; items are classified as either Easy or
Difficult, depending on whether the study number and
the foil share any common digits.

The Total Items Correct score is used to classify a


respondents performance; the type and number of
items answered correctly, the response latency, and
the right-left preference provide information that also
can be used to help interpret VSVT performance.
Test interpretation compares the respondents
performance to what is expected to occur on the
basis of chance alone; this binomial-based approach
to respondent classification minimizes the risk of false
positives.
Results confirm the clinical and forensic utility of the
VSVT for identifying respondents who are attempting
to exaggerate or feign cognitive impairments.

Graphs provide clear and


compelling visual aids for
presenting evidence of symptom
exaggeration to jurors or other
individuals or groups not familiar
with the theoretical underpinnings
of binomial probability theory.

Risk-Sophistication-Treatment Inventory (RSTI)


Randall T. Salekin, PhD

The RSTI is a semistructured interview and rating


scale designed to help clinicians assess juvenile
offenders in three important areas: risk for dangerousness, sophistication-maturity, and treatment
amenability. Each of these areas is measured by
a scale that is composed of 15 items. Additionally,
each scale contains three clusters.
The Risk for Dangerousness scale consists of the
Violent and Aggressive Tendencies, Planned and
Extensive Criminality, and Psychopathic Features
clusters.
The Sophistication-Maturity scale consists of the
Autonomy, Cognitive Capacities, and Emotional
Maturity clusters.
The Treatment Amenability scale consists of the
PsychopathologyDegree and Type, Responsibility
and Motivation to Change, and Consideration and
Tolerance of Others clusters.

The questions in the 32-page Interview Booklet are


designed to help obtain background, clinical, and
historical information, as well as a sample of the
juveniles behavioral and psychological functioning. Optional probes are provided throughout the
interview in case the juvenile gives incomplete
responses. The Rating Form enables the clinician
to score the items by reviewing and synthesizing
information from the entire interview, as well as
from other collateral sources. Each item is rated on
a 3-point scale reflecting the extent to which the
individual demonstrates the specific characteristic.

The MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool


Criminal Adjudication (MacCAT-CA)
Steven K. Hoge, MD, Richard J. Bonnie, LLB, Norman G. Poythress, PhD, and John Monahan, PhD

The MacCAT-CA is a 22-item structured interview for


the pretrial assessment of adjudicative competence.
This instrument uses a vignette format and objectively scored questions to standardize the measurement of three competence-related abilities.
Understandingcapacity for factual understanding of
the legal system and the adjudication process.
Reasoningability to distinguish more relevant from less
relevant factual information and the ability to reason
about the two legal options: pleading guilty or not guilty.
Appreciationcapacity to understand his/her own
legal situation and circumstances.

The MacCAT-CA begins with the presentation of a


brief vignette describing a hypothetical crime upon
which the 8 Understanding and the 8 Reasoning
items are based. The 16 items involve queries about
prosecution of the hypothetical defendant. This
approach was designed to introduce legal issues
in a way that distances the defendant from the
specifics of his/her own case. The 6 Appreciation
items query defendants about their attitudes and
beliefs concerning the legal process involved in their
own cases.

The final page of the Booklet is a Scoring Summary


form for transferring and summing the item scores for
Understanding, Reasoning, and Appreciation.
The MacCAT-CA Professional Manual presents
guidelines for the clinical interpretation of these
three abilities based on a national norming study
of 729defendants; score ranges are provided for
three levels of impairment (none or minimal, mild, or
clinically significant) for each measured ability.
Validated with three groups of criminal defendants
with the following characteristics: (a) 197 randomly
selected jail inmates whose competence was not
in doubt, most of whom had neither active nor prior
mental health problems, (b) 249 jail inmates whose
competence was not in doubt, but who were currently
receiving treatment for a variety of mental disorders,
and (c) 283 individuals adjudicated incompetent to
proceed as a result of mental illness.

Rogers Criminal Responsibility Assessment Scales (R-CRAS)


Richard Rogers, PhD, ABPP

The R-CRAS provides the forensic psychologist or


psychiatrist with an empirically based approach to
evaluating criminal responsibility. This instrument
allows you to quantify the impairment at the time of
the crime, to relate the impairment to the appropriate
legal standard, and to render an expert opinion with
respect to that legal standard. Part I establishes the
degree of impairment on psychological variables
significant to the determination of insanity. Part II

HCR-20: Assessing Risk for Violence (Version 2)


Christopher D. Webster, PhD, Kevin S. Douglas, LLB, PhD, Derek Eaves, MD, and Stephen D. Hart, PhD

Provides explicit guidelines for


assessing risk of violence.
Purpose: Identify presence/
absence of violence
risk factors

Age: Adults

The HCR-20 is a 20-item checklist completed by


the clinician and used to assess the risk for future
violent behavior in criminal and psychiatric populations. Items were chosen based on a comprehensive
review of the literature and input from experienced
forensic clinicians. The HCR-20 includes variables
that capture relevant past, present, and future
considerations and should be regarded as an
important first step in the risk assessment process.
The professional(s) completing the HCR-20
Coding Sheet must first determine the presence or
absence of each of the 20 risk factors according to
three levels of certainty (Absent, Possibly Present,
Definitely Present).

20 Items Are Divided Into Three Sections


10 Historical Items (previous violence, age at first
violent offense, family and vocational background,
and more).
Qualification Level: B or S
5 Clinical Items (current symptomatology and
psychosocial adjustment).
5 Risk Management Items (release and treatment
plan, and necessary services and support).

Admin: Individual

Time: Untimed

The final judgment regarding the risk for future


violence (Low, Moderate, High) should be based
on a careful analysis of the 20 risk factor items. Any

statements of risk should take into consideration the


base rate of violence in the particular population or
setting (e.g.,low, moderate, or high risk relative to
other correctional inmates).
HCR-20 Violence Risk Management
Companion Guide

This handy volume provides brief descriptions


of violence intervention strategies. Section One
covers general issues pertaining to violence risk
assessment and management using the HCR-20.
Section Two suggests intervention and management
strategies that stem from the Clinical (C) factors
of the HCR-20. Section Three addresses strategies
that stem from the Risk Management (R) factors.
Section Four offers practical assistance to people
interested in using the HCR-20 for planning and
tracking risk management activities.

Sexual Violence Risk20 (SVR-20)


Douglas R. Boer, PhD, Stephen D. Hart, PhD, P. Randall Kropp, PhD, and Christopher D. Webster, PhD

The SVR-20 is a 20-item checklist (completed by


the clinician) of risk factors for sexual violence that
were identified by a review of the literature on sex
offenders. The checklist was developed to improve
the accuracy of assessments for the risk of future
sexual violence.

Provides key questions to help


assess risk of sexual violence.
Purpose: Assess presence/
absence of sexual
violence risk factors

Age: Adults

Admin: Individual

Time: Untimed

Qualification Level: B or S

The 20 factors essential in a comprehensive sexual


violence risk assessment fall into three main
categories: Psychosocial Adjustment, History of
Sexual Offenses, and Future Plans.
The SVR-20 specifies which risk factors should be
assessed and how the risk assessment should be
conducted.
The list of risk factors is (a) empirically related to
future sexual violence, (b) useful in making decisions
about the management of sex offenders, (c) nondis
criminatory, and (d) reasonably comprehensive
without being redundant.

Appropriate for use in cases where an individual has


committed, or is alleged to have committed, an act of
sexual violence, including pretrial release decisions;
presentence assistance to judges; development of
treatment programs at correctional intake; prior to
discharge to assist in post-release management;
custody/access assessment; determination of need
for a community warning; quality assurance or critical
incident reviews; and education and training.

For Clinicians Who Need an Assessment of


Risk That Addresses Important Factors, the SAVRY
Is a Time-Efficient and Complete Instrument
Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY)
Randy Borum, PsyD, Patrick Bartel, PhD, and Adelle Forth, PhD

The SAVRY is composed of 24 items in three risk


domains (Historical Risk Factors, Social/Contextual
Risk Factors, and Individual/Clinical Factors), drawn
from existing research and the professional literature
on adolescent development as well as on violence
and aggression in youth. Each risk item has a threelevel rating structure with specific rating guidelines
(Low, Moderate, or High). In addition to the 24 risk
factors, the SAVRY includes six Protective Factor
items that are rated as either Present or Absent.
The SAVRY is useful in the assessment of either
male or female adolescents between the ages of 12
and 18 years. It may be used by professionals in a
variety of disciplines who conduct assessments and/
or make intervention/supervision plans concerning
violence risk in youth.
The SAVRY is not designed to be a formal test or
scale; there are no assigned numerical values nor
are there any specified cutoff scores. Based on the
structured professional judgment (SPJ) model, the
SAVRY helps assist in structuring an assessment
so that the important factors will not be missed and,
thus, will be emphasized when formulating a final
professional judgment about a youths level of risk.

Features of the SAVRY


SystematicThe primary domains of known risk
and protective factors are addressed, with clear
operational definitions provided.
Empirically GroundedItems are based on the best
available research and guidelines for juvenile risk
assessment practice.
Developmentally InformedRisk and protective
factors are based on their relationship to
adolescentsnot to children or adults.
Treatment-OrientedItems have direct implications
for treatment, including the consideration of dynamic
factors that can be useful targets for intervention in
risk reduction.
FlexibleAllows consideration of case-specific
factors, along with those factors derived from
research.
PracticalTime-efficiency of the instrument offers
the evaluator essential information for a competent
and complete assessment.

The PPI-R is a 154-item self-report measure of both


global psychopathy and the component traits of
psychopathy. The PPI-R is construct valid and time
efficient, and can detect response styles potentially
relevant to psychopathy (i.e.,positive or negative
impression management, random or careless
responding). Rather than focusing exclusively on
antisocial or criminal behaviors, the PPI-R measures
the continuum of psychopathic personality traits
present in a range of individuals.
Special Features
Self-report measure with 4th-grade reading level.

Evaluation of Competency to Stand TrialRevised (ECST-R)


Richard Rogers, PhD, ABPP, Chad E. Tillbrook, PhD, and Kenneth W. Sewell, PhD

The ECST-R represents major advances in the


assessment of competency to stand trial. Beyond its
exceptional interrater reliability, the ECST-R provides
five important advantages over existing competency
measures:

A key advantage of the ECST-R


over other competency measures
is its focus on case-specific
information that is relevant to
the pending case and to the

1. Congruence with the Dusky standard.


2. Established construct validity.
3. Admissibility under the Daubert standard.
4. Systematic screening for feigned incompetency.
5. Focus on case-specific information.

The ECST-R is a semistructured interview designed


to assess dimensions of competency to stand trial
as propounded in Dusky v. United States (1960)
and consistently affirmed in subsequent Supreme
Court decisions. In addition, the ECST-R provides
a systematic screening for feigned incompetency to
stand trial, with questions probing purported impairment and symptomatology specifically germane to
competency issues.
The ECST-R is appropriate for use with individuals ages 18 years and older who are involved in

adult proceedings. It was also validated on


defendants with a range of cognitive abilities.
Most defendants with functional intelligence in the
borderline and upper level of mild mental retardation
(i.e.,IQs=60to 69) can be tested with the ECST-R.
The ECST-R contains 18 items and three individual
scales that assess separate dimensions of competency to stand trial: Factual Understanding of the
Courtroom Proceedings, Rational Understanding
of the Courtroom Proceedings, and Consult with
Counsel. The ECST-R also includes 28 items and
five scales for Atypical Presentation: Realistic,
Psychotic, Nonpsychotic, Impairment, and Both
(Psychotic and Nonpsychotic combined).

Hare Psychopathy ChecklistRevised (PCL-R): 2nd Ed.


Robert D. Hare, PhD

The revisions in this second edition of the PCL-R


are based on the large numbers of articles, reports,
presentations, and dissertations that have appeared
since the original instrument was published in 1991.
The PCL-R is a 20-item symptom-construct rating
scale designed to assess psychopathic (antisocial)
personality disorders in forensic populations. The
PCL-R Rating Booklet facilitates rating the 20-item
scale; the Quikscore Form is used to record the
ratings, obtain the scores, and profile the results.
The ratings are based on responses to the semistructured interview and on a review of collateral
information.
As in the original version, the PCL-R: 2nd Ed.
provides a Total score that is important for the
overall assessment of psychopathy. The Total
score can be interpreted dimensionally in terms
of degree of match to the prototypical psychopath,
or it can be used categorically to help identify or
diagnose psychopaths.
This new edition retains the original two factors
that reflect the two major facets of psychopathy:
the callous, selfish, remorseless use of others
(Factor 1) and a chronically unstable and antisocial
lifestyle (Factor 2). The interpretive power of the
PCL-R has been enriched through the evolution of
four subfactors. Factor 1 and Factor 2 have been
divided into two empirically derived and validated
subfactors: Factor 1a, Interpersonal (four items);
Factor 1b, Affective (four items); Factor 2a, Impulsive
Lifestyle (five items); and Factor 2b, Antisocial
Behavior (five items).

The PCL-R is highly reliable and has impressive


concurrent, predictive, and construct validity. Scoring
is based on the degree to which a persons personality and behavior matches the Rating Booklet
items. The Manual provides item descriptions,
scoring procedures, extensive reliability and validity
information, and normative data. New large-sample
descriptive and validation data are provided for
use of the PCL-R with male and female offenders,
substanceabusers, sex offenders, African American
offenders, and forensic psychiatric clients.
Percentile and T-score tables are provided for male
and female offenders, for male forensic psychiatric
patients who have been assessed with the standard
PCL-R procedure (interview plus file information),
and for male offenders and forensic psychiatric
patients whose assessments are based solely on
file reviews. New research findings derived from
confirmatory factor analysis and item response
theory are presented along with the implications of
these findings for research, clinical, and forensic
purposes.

Four new subfactors help

The PCL:YV provides clinicians with a standardized


method of assessing the presence of traits and
behaviors central to the construct of psychopathy.
The PCL:YV provides researchers with a reliable and
valid measure of psychopathy in adolescents.

The length of time it takes to administer a complete


PCL:YV assessment depends on a number of factors,
including the length of the interview, familiarity
with the case, the amount of chart information to
review, and whether collateral interviews need to be
conducted.

Data were collected from 2,438 youth in three


countries. The 19 different samples of adolescents
included institutionalized offenders (detained in
correctional or inpatient facilities), offenders on
probation or in open custody or arrested youth
referred for outpatient evaluation, and youth in the
community (including conduct-disordered youth
attending a treatment program).
Overall, the PCL:YV showed sound psychometric
properties based on samples across a variety of
settings. The internal consistency of the PCL:YV
was .85-.94 across the settings.

Inventory of Offender Risk, Needs, and Strengths (IORNS)


Holly A. Miller, PhD

Written at a 3rd-grade reading level, the IORNS is


a 130-item self-report measure that assesses static
risk, dynamic risk/need, and protective strength
factors as they relate to recidivism, treatment need,
and management.
The IORNS consists of the four IORNS indexes,
eight scales, 14 subscales, and two validity scales.
T scores, percentiles, confidence intervals, and
qualitative classifications (i.e.,low, average, high,
very high) are provided for the normative samples.
Given low or high endorsement of certain items,
percentiles and percentile classifications are recommended for interpretation.
The IORNS provides index and scale scores that are
internally consistent and stable over time, in addition
to content subscales that aid in interpretive specificity. The IORNS indexes, scales, and subscales demonstrate good convergent and discriminant validity
with criminal history variables, antisocial behavior,
psychopathy, personality pathology, substance use,
depression, and anxiety among numerous male and
female offender samples.
Special Features of the IORNS
Assesses all three types of factors (static, dynamic,
and protective factors) related or theorized as related
to recidivism.

Can be administered and scored by persons who do


not have training in forensic or clinical psychology or
psychiatry, with supervision and interpretation by a
licensed or certified professional.
Standardized and validated with offenders (men ages
18-75 years and women ages 18-60 years); offender
samples included incarcerated and probated general
and sexual offenders.
Community adult/college normative sample provided
(men and women ages 18-75 years); the community
adult/college normative group approximates U.S.
Census proportions (2003) for race/ethnicity and
educational status.
The IORNS demonstrated significant correlations
with self-reported criminal history variables, including
number of nonviolent and violent crimes and number of
times in jail/prison among male and female offenders.
The IORNS also was significantly related to numerous
self-reported criminal, familial, and substance use
history variables (e.g.,past physical and sexual
abuse) among female offenders.

Time: 20-30 minutes

The JI-R is a restandardized version of the


Jesness Inventory (JI) with new norms based on
large and diverse samples of approximately 3,500
general population individuals and 1,000 offenders/
delinquents. An easy-to-understand, 160-item true/
false questionnaire, the JI-R provides valuable
information about functioning across a variety of
different areas. It has 11 personality subtype scales
that measure key traits and attitudes, including
Social Maladjustment, Manifest Aggression, Value
Orientation, Withdrawal-Depression, Immaturity,
Social Anxiety, Autism, Repression, Alienation,
Denial, and Asocial Index.
The JI-R also provides subtype evaluation within
nine distinct areas. The subtype system not
only helps you understand the individuals being
assessed, but also leads to specific suggestions
about treatment and risk. The nine subtypes are
Undersocialized/Active, Undersocialized/Passive,
Conformist, Group-Oriented, Pragmatist, AutonomyOriented, Introspective, Inhibited, and Adaptive.

This revision to the JI includes two new scales:


Conduct Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
These new scales are fully normed and add to
the clinical diagnostic utility of the Jesness scale.
The JI-R also contains validity scales to assess
potentially invalid response patterns. There is a Lie
scale, as well as a Random Response scale, that
can be easily scored and interpreted when using the
inventory.
The JI-R Technical Manual describes the development of the scales, new norms, and validation, and
provides information on administration, use, and
interpretation. Scoring time is greatly reduced using
the JI-R Scoring Templates.

Child Abuse Potential (CAP) Inventory


Joel S. Milner, PhD

A brief, easy-to-use child abuse


screening instrument.
Purpose: Screen for the
detection of physical
child abuse

Age: Parents or primary


caregivers suspected
of physical child
abuse

Admin: Self-report; Individual


or group

Time: Approximately 12-20


minutes

Qualification Level: B

The CAP Inventory was designed primarily as a


screening tool for the detection of physical child
abuse to be used by protective services workers in
their investigations of reported child abuse cases.
It is a 160-item, reliable and valid objective self-report
screening instrument given to the parent or caregiver
who is suspected of abuse. It assists protective services
workers in making case decisions.
The CAP Inventory contains a total of 10 scales. The
primary clinical scale (Abuse) can be divided into
six factor scales: Distress, Rigidity, Unhappiness,
Problems With Child and Self, Problems With Family,
and Problems With Others. In addition, the CAP
Inventory contains three validity scales: Lie,
Random Response, and Inconsistency.
The CAP Inventory is appropriate for use as a
preliminary screening tool when you wish to quickly
screen a group of high-risk patients for a subgroup
of individuals who are most likely to be at risk
for committing physical child abuse. Intervention/
treatment programs have successfully used the
CAP Inventory at pre- and posttreatment and on a
follow-up basis to assist in program evaluation.
Overall, the 77-item CAP Abuse scale has high
internal consistency reliabilities (.92-.96 for controls
and .95-.98 for abusers); temporal stability estimates
for the Abuse scale also are adequate (.91 and .75 for
1-day and 3-month intervals, respectively).

The WRAT4 Provides an Efficient and


Accurate Measure of Basic Academic Skills...
Wide Range Achievement Test 4 (WRAT4)
Gary S. Wilkinson, PhD and Gary J. Robertson, PhD

The WRAT4 is a norm-referenced test that measures the basic academic skills of word reading,
sentence comprehension, spelling, and math
computation.
Word Reading measures letter and word decoding
through letter identification and word recognition.
Sentence Comprehension measures an
individuals ability to gain meaning from words and
to comprehend ideas and information contained
in sentences through the use of a modified cloze
technique.
Spelling measures an individuals ability to encode
sounds into written form through the use of a dictated
spelling format containing both letters and words.
Math Computation measures an individuals ability
to perform basic mathematics computations through
counting, identifying numbers, solving simple oral
problems, and calculating written mathematics
problems.

Several new features have been added to the


WRAT4. In addition to updated norms, the WRAT4
contains an entirely new measure of reading
achievementSentence Comprehensionadded
to enhance the scope of the content the WRAT
measured and to meet a need often expressed by
users of previous editions for a measure of reading
comprehension.
The interpretation of WRAT4 scores has been
enhanced by the addition of grade-based norms,
thereby increasing the usefulness of the test in
Grades K-12. The age-based norms also have been
extended from age 75 in the third edition to age 94
in the fourth edition so that the basic literacy skills of
older adults could be assessed.
The Blue Form and the Green Form can be used
interchangeably with comparable results, thus

permitting retesting within short periods of time without the potential practice effects that may occur from
repeating the same items. The alternate forms also
can be administered together (i.e.,Combined Form)
in a single examination. For those interested in a
more qualitative assessment of academic skills, the
Combined Form provides an additional opportunity
for performance observance.
Uses of the WRAT4

The WRAT4 preserves those


features that made the WRAT3
and earlier editions so popular
with usersease of administration
and scoring, and the provision of
a significant amount of information
gained through a relatively brief
investment of testing time.

The ease of administration and simplicity of the


WRAT4 make it useful for:
Collecting initial data for psychological, educational,
and vocational assessments.
Permitting time-efficient small group administration
in selected math and spelling areas to assist in
the identification of individuals who require a more
comprehensive academic evaluation.
Assessing, in conjunction with the WRAT-Expanded,
a broader range of academic skills useful in the
diagnosis of specific learning disorders.
Reevaluating individuals diagnosed with learning and/
or cognitive disorders.
Contributing to research projects needing assessment
of basic academic skills for pretesting and posttesting
purposes.
Evaluating achievement/ability discrepancies to
identify specific learning disabilities.
Assessing specific academic skills as part of a
more comprehensive study of psychological and
neuropsychological functioning.
Determining a minimal level of proficiency needed
to perform in certain educational and/or vocational
settings.
Assessing an individuals academic progress over
time.

ACHIEVEMENT / DEVELOPMENT / LEARNING

Ideal for Clinicians Who Want a


Norm-Referenced Skills Instrument
Administration Time

Administration time varies depending upon the age, skill, and behavioral style of the individual being tested. For children (ages 8 years
and older) and adults, the administration time is between 30 and 45
minutes. For younger children (ages 5-7 years) the administration time
is between 15 and 25 minutes.
Small-Group Administration

Although the WRAT4 will most often be administered individually,


some of the subtests or sections of subtests may be administered
to small groups. The Spelling and Math Computation sections of the
respective subtests may be administered to small groups. It is recommended that small groups be limited to no more than five participants.
Reliability

Reliability evidence for the WRAT4 is shown to be strong and includes


information based on classical test reliability theory, such as internal
consistency, alternate-form reliability (immediate and delayed retest
stability), standard error of measurement, and standard score confidence intervals, as well as IRT applications termed Rasch statistics.
Alternate-form immediate retest reliability coefficients ranged from
.78 to .89 for an age-based sample and .86 to .90 for a grade-based
sample.
Alternate-form delayed (approximately 30 days) retest study indicated
that practice effects are quite small. Mean score differences of 0.4-2.2
were found for an age-based sample and 0.1-0.5 for a grade-based
sample.

Monitor a Students
Response to Intervention in

Reading, Math, and Spelling


Throughout the School Year

Wide Range Achievement Test 4 Progress Monitoring


Version (WRAT4-PMV)
Gale H. Roid, PhD and Mark F. Ledbetter, PsyD

The WRAT4-PMV is an adaptation of the Wide


Range Achievement Test Fourth Edition (WRAT4)
and is specifically designed as a reliable, timeefficient instrument for monitoring the academic
progress of students in Grades K-12 and college.
Measuring four basic academic areas (i.e.,word
reading, sentence comprehension, spelling, math
computation), the WRAT4-PMV is composed of
six levels that correspond to specific grade-range
academic content appropriate for assessing and
monitoring progress for Grades K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8,
9-12, and 13-16 (i.e.,college). Each WRAT4PMV
level consists of four parallel 15-item forms
(i.e.,probes) that are psychometrically equivalent.
The WRAT4-PMV provides practitioners with a
performance baseline and, if necessary, helps
monitor a students academic performance via brief
repeated test administrations throughout the school
year. The WRAT4-PMV expands the utility of the
WRAT4 by providing design features that enable
users to efficiently monitor the progress of students
who have learning difficulties, students in special
education placements, underachieving students in
regular education placements, and students who
exhibit other conditions that affect school learning.
Evaluating Level of Performance

Examiners can quickly determine a students level of


performance relative to a nationally representative
sample of grade-level peers by plotting the Total Raw
Score on the Profile Sheet. The Profile Sheet uses
color-shaded normative bands that eliminate the
need to convert Total Raw Scores to derived scores.

Out of Level Testing

Out of level testing can provide valuable information


as well as an accurate measurement and can be
accomplished using shorter tests. Depending on
the achievement level of a student, examiners can
administer a WRAT4-PMV level that is below or
above the students enrolled grade level. Matching
the appropriate test difficulty level with the achievement grade level of a student (i.e.,out of level
testing) can be an effective tool to elicit student
participation in the evaluation.
Evaluating Changes in
Performance Over Time

Within a WRAT4-PMV level, repeated administration


of equivalent subtest forms enables examiners to
graphically examine student performance at various
time intervals. Evaluating meaningful change in
performance over time is accomplished by using the
Within Level Score Comparison Tables provided on
the Profile Sheet.
For progress monitoring across grades using different WRAT4-PMV levels, Total Raw Scores on any
subtest level/form can be converted to derived Level
Equivalent (LE) scores. LE scores provide a common metric across WRAT4-PMV levels, grades, and
forms, and are particularly useful in demonstrating
performance changes across levels that graphically represent improvement or decline over longer
periods of time.

Validity Evidence Is Presented for


Students With Learning Disabilities...
Standardization, Reliability, and Validity
Composed of 1,929 individuals enrolled in Grades K-16 and ranging
in age from 5 to 24 years, the WRAT4-PMV normative sample is
demographically representative of census proportions for race/ethnicity,
educational attainment (as an index of socioeconomic status), and
geographic region.
Alpha reliability coefficients for the Word Reading, Sentence
Comprehension, Spelling, and Math Computation subtests were .80, .81,
.79, and .74, respectively.
Validity evidence for the WRAT4-PMV is derived from evaluating patterns
of correlations among external measures of established constructs.
Measures of achievement include the Kaufman Test of Educational
Achievement: Second EditionBrief Form (KTEA-II) and the Wechsler
Individual Achievement Test: Second Edition (WIAT-II); measures of
cognitive ability include the Stanford-Binet Intelligence ScalesFifth
Edition (SB5) and the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scale (RIAS).

Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales/


Wide Range Achievement Test 4 Discrepancy
Interpretive Report (RIAS/WRAT4-DIR)
Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD, Randy W. Kamphaus, PhD, and PAR Staff

The RIAS/WRAT4-DIR provides and evaluates discrepancies between scores on the Reynolds Intellectual
Assessment Scales (RIAS)/Reynolds Intellectual
Screening Test (RIST) and on the Wide Range
Achievement Test 4 (WRAT4). By comparing general
ability levels as assessed by the RIAS to achievement
levels as obtained by the WRAT4, the software provides
school psychologists with the information necessary for
determining special education eligibility and the presence of specific learning disabilities in students.
Two types of scoring methodologies are used to
derive the discrepancy scores and to evaluate not
only the statistical significance of the score but also its
prevalence within the population. The simple difference
method examines the difference between an obtained
RIAS score and an obtained WRAT4 score. The
predicted-achievement method uses the individuals
obtained RIAS score to predict his or her performance
on the WRAT4. It then examines the difference between
the predicted WRAT4 score and the individuals obtained
WRAT4 score. Using these methods, three types of discrepancy reports that contain a total of 40 discrepancy
scores are generated by the software: the RIST/WRAT4

Discrepancy Interpretive Report, the RIAS/WRAT4


Discrepancy Interpretive Report, and the RIAS/WRAT4
Total Battery Discrepancy Interpretive Report.

The unlimited-use software generates discrepancy


scores and interpretive reports based on a clinicians
entry of an individuals raw scores and provides an
efficient file handling system that enables the user to
create client files where all protocols and report files
for each client are managed.

The WRAT-Expanded is a brief achievement instrument that provides an overall assessment of the
general skill level of classroom students.

Group administration provides


a "snapshot" of the general
knowledge level in a classroom.
Individual administration
provides a measure to
evaluate students progress.
Purpose: Assess reading,
mathematics, and

Age: 5-24 years;


Grade 2-Adult

Admin: Individual (ages


5-24 years) or group
(Grade 2-adult)

Time: Reading
Comprehension:
40 minutes;
Mathematics:

Group Assessment
0D-5673-KT

The WRAT-Expanded provides both individually


and group administered forms, which have been
co-normed to enable direct comparisons between the
two forms.
The Group (Form G) and the Individual (Form I) forms
may be given 3 months apart, allowing for short-term
pretest and posttest assessment.
Form G may be used by learning specialists to
quickly evaluate small groups of referrals, rather than
assessing each one individually.
Form G provides a nonverbal reasoning component,
which gives an assessment of reasoning ability,
factoring out language handicaps that might be
interfering with school achievement. The Group
form also provides content skill analysis for both the
Reading and Mathematics tests.
On Form I, recommended test Levels and the Level
Scoring Rule allow for assessment using a minimal
number of items, saving you and your clients time.
Tables provide age and grade norms, as well as out
of level norms for students who have been retained
a grade or for classes being instructed below grade
level.

WRATExpanded Early Reading Assessment (ERA)


Gary J. Robertson, PhD

A childs reading skills determine


whether the entire test is given or
if only selected subtests are used.
Purpose: Assess pre-reading
and beginning
reading skills

Age: Grades Pre-K, K,


and 1

Admin: Individual

The ERA is part of the WRAT-Expanded series and


is an individually administered measure of important
pre-reading and beginning reading skills for use
in Grades Pre-K, K, and 1. Four subtests measure
these important aspects of early reading: letter
recognition and visual perception of word parts,
letter sounds, word comprehension, and sentence
comprehension. Performance may be interpreted
on each of the subtests and on three composites:
Pre-Reading Skills, Reading Skills, and Total Battery.
The childs reading skill acquisition determines
whether the entire test is given or whether only
selected subtests are used. Children who are not yet
reading words and sentences can be assessed with
only the two pre-reading tests (Letter Recognition/
Visual Perception and Letter Sounds), whereas
children already reading would most likely be given

only the two reading tests (Word Comprehension


and Sentence Comprehension). Administration of
all four subtests requires about 40 minutes, with
the two partspre-reading and readingrequiring
about 20 minutes each.
National norms are available based on both age
and grade reference groups. Subtest scaled scores,
standard scores for the three composites, percentile
ranks, and stanines are available. The Record Form
provides a convenient score summary and profile to
facilitate the interpretation and use of the test results.

Developmental Profile 3 (DP-3)


Gerald D. Alpern, PhD

The DP-3 quickly evaluates childrens functioning in


five key areas. This edition adds norm-based standard
scores, an expanded age range, updated item content,
clearer interpretive guidelines, a nationally representative standardization sample, suggested remediation
activities, and unlimited computer scoring and
interpretation.
Designed to evaluate children ages birth through
12years 11 months, the DP-3 includes 180 items, each
describing a particular skill. The respondent simply
indicates whether or not the child has mastered the skill
in question. The DP-3 provides a General Development
score as well as five scale scores: Physical, Adaptive
Behavior, Social-Emotional, Cognitive, and
Communication.
Typically, the DP-3 is administered as an interview
during which a parent or caregiver answers yes-or-no
questions about the child. Within each scale, basals and
ceilings are used, so it is not necessary to administer all
180 items. Start and stop points ensure that only ageappropriate questions are asked, making the interview
focused and efficient. Because each scale has its own
norms, each can be used individually.
Although the Interview Form is the preferred method
of administration, the DP-3 offers an alternative thats
useful when time, research, or clinical needs make an
interview unfeasible. A new Parent/Caregiver Checklist

contains the same item content as the Interview Form


and can be completed by the childs parent or caregiver
without examiner supervision.
IDEA Compliance

Because the DP-3 meets federal criteria for evaluating


children with developmental problems, it is useful for
determining eligibility for special education, planning
IEPs, and implementing periodic screening programs.
Its five scales correspond to the five domains specified
in IDEA for assessing developmental delays.

Revised, restandardized, and


updated, the DP-3 provides an
accurate and efficient way to
screen for developmental
delays early in a childs life.

Unlimited Computer Scoring


and Interpretation

The unlimited-use DP-3 computer program saves time,


reduces the chance of error, and gives you a wealth
of information. It provides scoring and interpretation,
graphical representation of scores, scale pattern
analysis and scale-by-scale item analysis, individualized
intervention activities, and clinician and parent reports.

Developmental Assessment of Young Children (DAYC)


Judith K. Voress, PhD and Taddy Maddox, PhD

The DAYC is a battery of five subtests that measure


different but interrelated abilities. The battery, which
is designed for use with children ages birth through
5.11years, was created to measure the five areas of
assessment mandated by IDEA: cognition, commun
ication, social/emotional development, physical development, and adaptive behavior. The five subtests (one for
each of the domains) can be administered separately or
as a comprehensive battery in about 10-20 minutes.
The DAYC can be used (a) to differentiate children who
are developing normally from those who are significantly below their peers in cognitive, communication,
social/emotional, physical, or adaptive behavior; (b) to
determine a childs specific strengths and weaknesses in
developmental abilities; (c) to document a childs developmental progress as a consequence of special intervention
programs; and (d) to measure developmental abilities in
research studies. The DAYC format allows you to obtain
information about a childs abilities through observation,
interview of caregivers, and direct assessment.
The DAYC was normed on a national sample of
1,269individuals, broken into 23 age groups. The

reliability of the DAYC has been studied, and evidence


relating to content-sampling and test-retest time sampling
reliability is provided. Reliability coefficients range from
.90 to .99. Standard errors of measurement (SEMs)
range from 1.5 to 4.74, with the majority smaller than
3.0. Reliabilities for children identified as environmentally
at-risk and biologically at-risk are .98 and .99.

Unlike Other Autism/PDD Instruments,


the PDDBI Assesses Problem Behavior(s) as Well as
Appropriate Social, Language, and Learning/Memory Skills
PDD Behavior Inventory (PDDBI)
Ira L. Cohen, PhD and Vicki Sudhalter, PhD

The PDDBI assesses both


maladaptive and adaptive
behaviors, creating a behavioral
profile. It can be used as a
clinical tool for assisting in
diagnosis and treatment
recommendations and for
assessing change over time.
Purpose: Assess
responsiveness
to intervention
in children with
a pervasive
developmental
disorder

Age: 1.6-12.5 years

Admin: Informant report;


Individual or group

Time: 30-45 minutes for


Extended Forms;
20-30 minutes for
Standard Forms

Qualification Level: B or S
Scoring software available
See page 169 for information on the
PDDBI-SP.

The PDDBI is an informant-based rating scale


that is designed to assist in the assessment of
children who have been diagnosed with a pervasive
developmental disorder (PDD) as defined by the
DSMIV . PDD is characterized by severe and
pervasive impairments in several areas of development (e.g.,communication skills, reciprocal social
interaction skills, presence of stereotypic behaviors/
activities). Unlike existing assessments for autism/
PDD, the PDDBI was developed to assess both
problem behaviors as well as appropriate social,
language, and learning/memory skills. It also was
designed to provide age-standardized scores for
both parent and teacher ratings.
The PDDBI can be utilized across a variety of
settings. For example, it can be used as a clinical
tool for assisting in diagnosis and treatment recommendations and for assessing change over time. In
addition, the PDDBI can be useful in educational
settings (e.g.,placement decisions, intervention
planning, evaluating outcomes) and research
applications (e.g.,dependent measure for treatment
intervention).
The PDDBI materials include the Professional
Manual, the Parent Rating Form, the Teacher
Rating Form, the Parent Score Summary Sheet,
the Teacher Score Summary Sheet, and the Profile
Form. Each of the Rating Forms includes an
extended set of items (Parent = PDDBI-PX, with
188 items; Teacher = PDDBI-TX, with 180 items)
and a standard set of items (Parent = PDDBI-P and
Teacher = PDDBI-T, each with 124 items), allowing
you to decide on a case-by-case basis how you

wish to administer the items. The extended form is


appropriate for use when you wish to assess other
aspects of the childs behaviors beyond those that
are specifically associated with autism. These other
behaviors (e.g.,fear, aggression) may be important
if you are concerned with placement issues and
treatment recommendations. The standard form is
appropriate if the primary concerns are specifically
related to autism (e.g.,whether treatment is specifically affecting targeted behaviors).
The PDDBI Extended Rating Forms consist of
10 domains for both the parent and the teacher
versions; the standard forms each consist of six
domains. Each domain consists of a variable number
of behavioral clusters that best represent that
domain. The clusters help to identify the behaviors
that contribute most to a childs score on a given
domain. Domain scores are divided into two sections: Approach/Withdrawal Problems and ReceptiveExpressive Social Communications Abilities.

Because the PDDBI assesses assets as well as deficits, it provides the clinician
with information on existing skills and on skills that need to be developed.
It also allows the psychiatrist or neurologist who may be administering
medication to control behaviors or seizures, to assess whether or not
the medication is causing a specific improvement in behavior problems
and not just an overall decrease in behavior, including declines in social
communication skills. As a result of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and
the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004,
school psychologists need to monitor the child as part of the Response to
Intervention process. The PDDBI can be used for this purpose and is also
useful in monitoring outcomes in clinical interventions (Ozonoff, GoodlinJones, & Solomon, 2005).

Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS)


John M. Constantino, MD

Appropriate for use with children ages 4-18 years,


the SRS is a 65-item rating scale that measures the
severity of autism spectrum symptoms as they occur
in natural social settings. Completed by a parent or a
teacher in just 15 to 20 minutes, the SRS provides a
clear picture of a childs social impairments, assessing social awareness, social information processing,
capacity for reciprocal social communication, social
anxiety/avoidance, and autistic preoccupations and
traits. Both the Parent and Teacher Form use the
convenient AutoScore format.
Sensitive and reliable across a wide range of
symptom severity, the SRS can be used as a
screener in clinical or educational settings, as an aid
to clinical diagnosis, or as a measure of response
to intervention (RTI). SRS scores are particularly
helpful in identifying autism, Aspergers disorder,
pervasive developmental disordernot otherwise
specified (PDD-NOS), and schizoid personality
disorder of childhood. In addition, the scale can alert
clinicians to subthreshold autistic symptoms that
may be present in children who have a wide variety
of psychological problems. The SRS provides a
quantitative score for autistic social impairment that
enables comparisons across settings and against
norms established for different raters, making it helpful in qualifying a child for mental health or special
education services.

In addition to a Total Score reflecting severity of


social deficits in the autism spectrum, the SRS
generates scores for five Treatment Subscales:
Social Awareness, Social Cognition, Social
Communication, Social Motivation, and Autistic
Mannerisms. Although scores from these subscales
are not used for screening or diagnosis, they
are useful in designing and evaluating treatment
programs.

SRS scores are particularly helpful


in the identification of autism,
Aspergers disorder, pervasive
developmental disordernot
otherwise specified (PDD-NOS),
and schizoid personality
disorder of childhood.

Standardization, Reliability, and Validity

The SRS standardization sample was composed of


more than 1,600 children from the general population. Norms are separated by rater (i.e., parent,
teacher) and by the rated childs gender.
Internal consistency is high for normative parent
ratings, normative teacher ratings, and clinical ratings,
ranging from .93 to .97 for all groups.
Test-retest stability ranged from .77 to .85 for parent
ratings; mother-father, mother-teacher, and fatherteacher interrater reliabilities were .91, .82, and .75,
respectively.
Validity was examined for the SRS in terms of
discriminant validity, concurrent validity, structural
validation, and factor analytic studies.

older and who are suspected of having autism or
other autism spectrum disorders. The ADI-R has
proven highly useful for formal diagnosis as well as

Autism Spectrum Rating Scales (ASRS)


Sam Goldstein, PhD and Jack A. Naglieri, PhD

The ASRS was designed to effectively identify


symptoms, behaviors, and associated features of
autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) in children and
adolescents ages 2-18 years. Based on a nationally
representative sample, this norm-referenced assessment is an easy-to-use and convenient tool intended
for psychologists, school psychologists, clinical
social workers, physicians, counselors, psychiatric
workers, and pediatric/psychiatric nurses.
ASRS items assess DSM-IV-TR symptom criteria
for ASDs. When used in combination with other
assessment information, results from the ASRS
can help guide your diagnostic decisions, treatment planning, ongoing monitoring of response to
intervention, and evaluation of the effectiveness of a
treatment program for a child with an ASD.
Parents and teachers are asked to evaluate, on a
five-point Likert rating scale, how often they have
observed specific behaviors in the child or adolescent in areas such as socialization, communication,
unusual behaviors, behavioral rigidity, sensory
sensitivity, and self-regulation.
Separate versions are available for ratings of
children ages 2-5 years and ratings of children and

adolescents ages 6-18 years. Paper-and-pencil


administrations on ASRS Quikscore forms can
be scored by hand. The ASRS can also be scored
using the ASRS Scoring Softwaresimply enter
responses from the Response Forms into the software. Three types of reports are generated: comprehensive Interpretive Reports, which present scores
numerically and graphically; Progress Monitoring
Reports, which compare the results of two to four
administrations from the same rater to measure
changes over time and are ideal when monitoring treatment and intervention; and Comparative
Reports, which allow for a multi-rater perspective by
comparing results of up to five different raters. The
15-item ASRS Short form provides an efficient way
to screen large numbers of children for possible ASD
and can be used for monitoring treatment progress.
The ASRS was standardized on 2,560 nonclinical
cases from across the US. More than 1,200 clinical
cases were also collected. The disorders in the
clinical sample include autism spectrum disorder
(autism, Aspergers disorder, pervasive developmental disordernot otherwise specified), ADHD,
mood and anxiety disorders, and disruptive behavior
disorders.

in identifying and diagnosing autism in individuals
ages 3-22 years, as well as estimating the severity
of the individuals disorder. Items on the GARS-2 are

Childhood Autism Rating Scale, Second Edition (CARS2)


Eric Schopler, PhD, Mary E. Van Bourgondien, PhD, Glenna Janette Wellman, PhD, and Steven R. Love, PhD

Since its original publication, the CARS has become


one of the most widely used and empirically validated
autism assessments for discriminating between
children with autism and those with severe cognitive deficits, and in distinguishing mild-to-moderate
autism from severe autism. With a new form for
higher functioning individuals, a structured way to
gather caregiver information, and guidelines linking
scores to intervention, the CARS2 surpasses its
predecessor as one of the best autism assessments
available. While the CARS2 retains the simplicity,
brevity, and clarity of the original CARS, it adds new
forms and features that help you integrate diagnostic
information, determine functional capabilities,
provide feedback to parents, and design targeted
intervention. It assesses virtually all ages and
functional levels, and it provides concise, objective,
and quantifiable ratings based on direct behavioral
observation. Ratings are reliable across time, settings, sources of information, and raters.
The CARS2 includes three formsa Standard
Version (CARS2-ST) Rating Booklet that is

equivalent to the original CARS and is used with


individuals younger than 6 years of age and those
with communication difficulties or below-average
estimated IQs; a High Functioning Individuals
(CARS2-HF) Rating Booklet that is an alternative
for assessing verbally fluent individuals who are
6years of age and older with IQ scores above
80; and a Questionnaire for Parents or Caregivers
(CARS2QPC), an unscored scale that gathers
information for use in making CARS2-ST and
CARS2-HF ratings.

This revised edition expands


the original tests clinical value,
making it more responsive to high
functioning individuals along the
autism spectrum.

Gilliam Aspergers Disorder Scale (GADS)


James E. Gilliam, EdD

The GADS is used for the assessment of individuals


ages 3-22 years who present unique behavioral
problems. Its purpose is to help professionals
diagnose Aspergers disorder. Specific questions are
asked about an individuals language and cognitive development and age-appropriate self-help
skills, adaptive behaviors, and curiosity about the
environment. Positive responses to these questions
are necessary for consideration of a diagnosis,
because individuals who have Aspergers disorder
do not have clinically significant developmental
delays in these areas. Negative responses are more
indicative of individuals who have other, more severe
pervasive developmental disorders.
Easily completed by a parent and professional who
knows the individual, the GADS provides documentation about the essential behavior characteristics of
Aspergers disorder necessary for diagnosis. It can
be used in the assessment process to document
behavioral progress, to target goals for IEPs, and for
research purposes.
The validity of the GADS was demonstrated by
confirming that (a) the items of the test are directly
related to the definitions of Aspergers disorder,
(b)the subscales are strongly related to each other

and the overall diagnosis of Aspergers disorder,


and (c) the GADS scores discriminate persons with
Aspergers disorder from persons with autism and
other behavioral disorders.
Thirty-two clearly stated items divided into four
subscales describe specific, observable, and
measurable behaviors.
Eight additional items are included for parents to
contribute data about their childs development during
the first 3 years of life.
Items are based on the most current definitions of
Aspergers disorder.
The test was normed on 371 individuals with
Aspergers disorder from 27 states, the District of
Columbia, Canada, and Australia.
Behaviors are rated using objective, frequency-based
ratings; standard scores and percentiles are provided.
A table is provided for determining the likelihood that
an individual has Aspergers disorder.

Evaluates the uneven learning


strengths and weaknesses
of children with autism and
developmental disabilities.
Purpose: Assess the skills
and behaviors of
children with autism
and communicative
disabilities

Age: 6 months-7 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 45 minutes-11/2 hours

Qualification Level: B

The PEP-3 assesses the skills and behaviors of


children with autism and communicative disabilities
who function between the ages of 6 months and
7years. The profile resulting from the PEP-3 graphically charts uneven and idiosyncratic development,
emerging skills, and autistic behavioral characteristics. This PEP-3 meets the need for an assessment
tool to assist in educational programming for young
children (ages 3-5 years) with disabilities and is particularly useful in planning for older students IEPs.
The PEP-3 now includes a Caregiver Report. This
report utilizes parental input and is completed prior
to the administration of the assessment. The form
asks the parent or caregiver to estimate the childs
developmental level compared with typical children.
This form has been shown to help orient teachers
to a students developmental inconsistencies. The
PEP-3 includes additional data to identify special
learning strengths and teachable skills. Also, the
third edition is improved by offering normative data
both from a group of children within the autism
spectrum as well as from a comparison group of
children without autism.

New items and subtests have been added; obsolete


ones have been deleted.
Normative data were collected from 2002 to 2003,
with large national samples of children within the
autism spectrum and of typical children ages 2-7.5
years. These are the first normative data provided for
comparison of a childs PEP results with children of
either comparison group.
Reliability coefficients have been computed by age for
subgroups within the normative sample (i.e.,males,
females, Whites, Blacks, Hispanic Americans).
Validity evidence is provided for children within the
autism spectrum for all areas measured by the test.
The scoring has been quantified as 0, 1, and 2;
each score is clearly defined, making statistical
comparisons more accurate. At the same time, the
flexibility of the previous system, using pass, emerge,
and fail, has been maintained.
Caregiver Report sections include Current
Developmental Levels, Diagnostic Categories and
Degree of Problem, and three subtests: Problem
Behaviors, Personal Self-Care, and Adaptive Behavior.
0D-5860-KT

Improvements to the PEP-3


The functional domains have been revised to reflect
current research and clinical concerns, especially in
the area of social and communication functions.

Asperger Syndrome Diagnostic Scale (ASDS)


Brenda Myles, Stacy Jones-Bock, and Richard Simpson

The ASDS is a quick, easy-to-use rating scale that helps you determine whether a child or adolescent is
likely to have Aspergers syndrome. Anyone who knows the child or adolescent well can complete the form
in 10-15 minutes.
The 50 yes-or-no items that make up the ASDS were drawn from five specific areas of behavior: cognitive,
maladaptive, language, social, and sensorimotor. All of the items represent behaviors that are symptomatic of
Aspergers syndrome. The ASDS provides an AS Quotient that indicates the likelihood that an individual has
Aspergers syndrome. Low AS Quotients are indicative of persons with little or no known pathology, whereas
higher scores are increasingly more indicative of Aspergers syndrome.
Documents behavioral progress

Now You Can Measure Change in Reading


Performance in 5 Minutes or Less Using a
Targeted Measure With Three Equivalent Forms
Test of Irregular Word Reading Efficiency (TIWRE)
Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD and Randy W. Kamphaus, PhD

By using the pronunciation of phonetically irregular


words to measure reading ability, the TIWRE offers a
rapid assessment of the examinees reading vocabulary. Because phonetically irregular words cannot
be pronounced correctly unless they are already a
part of the readers vocabulary, they are especially
useful for screening reading comprehension. This
easy-to-administer measure is supported by validity
evidence and is highly reliable. With three equivalent
forms, the TIWRE provides its user with the ability
to monitor changes in reading performance over
relatively short periods of time with no detectable
practice effect from testing itself.
Each form presents letters (uppercase and
lowercase) and phonetically irregular words for a
total of 50 items and takes approximately 2 minutes
to administer. Because the three forms are based on
a common normative sample and use the same normative table, frequent repeated testing is convenient
and quick. Reliability coefficients for all forms are in
the mid-to-high .90s. Change in reading efficiency is
measured by comparing scores from two administrations and using the provided precalculated
significance score ranges to determine statistically
significant levels of change.
The TIWRE was normed using a large, nationally
drawn U.S. stratified sample of 2,438 individuals
ages 3-94 years. The Professional Manual provides
a wide range of score conversions, including scores
scaled to the metric commonly used with measures

of aptitude and achievement (i.e.,age-corrected


deviation scaled scores with a mean of 100 and a
standard deviation of 15) and additional supplementary scores that are commonly used in educational
reporting and research. The Profile Form enables
the examiner to plot scores of repeated administrations for easy, rapid identification of an individuals

Nelson-Denny Reading Test


James I. Brown, PhD, Vivian Vick Fishco, MS, and Gerald S. Hanna, EdD

The Nelson-Denny Reading Test, Forms G and


H, is a reading survey test for high school students, college students, and adults. A two-part
test, the Nelson-Denny measures vocabulary
development, comprehension, and reading rate.
Part I (Vocabulary) is a 15-minute test; Part II
(Comprehension and Rate) is a 20-minute test. The
first minute of the Comprehension test is used to
determine reading rate. An extended-time administration of the test is available for special populations,
such as students who have learned English as a
second language.
Forms G and H are parallel forms that have been
equated and can be used interchangeably as
pretests and posttests. The equating study linking
Forms G and H is described in the Technical Report.
An equating study of Form G and Form E links
Forms G and H to the earlier Forms E and F. Thus,
data for students previously tested with Form E or
Form F can be compared to data provided by Form
G or Form H. Form G/Form E equating data and
tables are provided in the Scoring and Interpretation
Manual.
Vocabulary, Comprehension, and Total scores are
presented as raw scores, scale scores, gradeequivalent scores, normal curve equivalent scores,

national percentile ranks, and national stanines.


The reading rate is reported in words per minute.
The scoring key and procedures for obtaining all
scores are included in the Scoring and Interpretation

Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE)


Joseph Torgesen, PhD, Richard Wagner, PhD, and Carol Rashotte, PhD

The TOWRE is a nationally normed measure of


word reading accuracy and fluency. Because it can
be administered very quickly, the test provides an
efficient means of monitoring the growth of two kinds
of word reading skills that are critical in the development of overall reading ability: the ability to accurately
recognize familiar words as whole units or sight
words and the ability to sound out words quickly.
The TOWRE contains two subtests: the Sight Word
Efficiency (SWE) subtest assesses the number of
real printed words that can be accurately identified
within 45 seconds, and the Phonetic Decoding
Efficiency (PDE) subtest measures the number
of pronounceable printed nonwords that can be
accurately decoded within 45 seconds. Each subtest
has two forms (A and B) that are of equivalent difficulty, and either one or both forms of each subtest
may be given depending upon the purposes of the
assessment.
Percentiles, standard scores, and age and grade
equivalents are provided. Subtest standard scores
have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
Age and grade equivalents show the relative standing
of the individuals scores. The TOWRE was normed
on more than 1,500 individuals ranging in age from

6 to 24 years 11 months and residing in 30 states.


The sample characteristics were stratified by age and
keyed to the demographic characteristics reported in
the 1997 Statistical Abstract of the United States.
Reliability of the TOWRE was investigated using
estimates of content sampling, time sampling, and
scorer differences. The average alternate forms reliability coefficients (content sampling) all exceed .90.
The test-retest (time sampling) coefficients range
from .83 to .96. The magnitude of the coefficients
reported from all reliability studies suggests that
there is little error in the TOWRE and that examiners can have confidence in the results. Extensive
evidence of the validity of TOWRE test scores is
provided for content-description validity, criterionprediction validity, and construct-identification
validity.

Test of Early Reading Ability, 3rd Ed. (TERA-3)


D. Kim Reid, PhD, Wayne P. Hresko, PhD, and Donald D. Hammill, EdD

The TERA-3 is a unique, direct measure of the


reading ability of young children ages 3.6-8.6
years. Rather than assessing childrens readiness
for reading, the TERA-3 assesses their mastery
of early developing reading skills. This new edition
has been redesigned to provide the examiner with
three subtests: Alphabet (measures knowledge of
the alphabet and its uses), Conventions (measures
knowledge of the conventions of print), and Meaning
(measures the construction of meaning from print).
Standard scores are provided for each subtest. An
overall Reading Quotient is computed using all three
subtest scores.
The TERA-3 has many uses: (a) to identify those
children who are significantly below their peers
in reading development and may be candidates
for early intervention, (b) to identify strengths and
weaknesses of individual children, (c) to document
a childs progress as a consequence of early reading
intervention programs, (d) to serve as a measure
in research studying reading development in young
children, and (e) to serve as an adjunct to other
assessments.

The TERA-3 has been improved in the following ways:


All new normative data were collected during 1999
and 2000; the normative information is stratified by
age relative to geography, gender, race, residence,
and ethnicity.
Studies showing the absence of gender, racial,
disability, and ethnic bias have been added.
Reliability is consistently high across all three types
of reliability studied. All but 2 of the 32 coefficients
reported approach or exceed .90.
New validity studies have been conducted; special
attention has been devoted to showing that the test is
valid for a wide variety of subgroups as well as for a
general population.
New items have been added to make the test more
reliable and valid for the older and younger ages
covered by the test.
Age and grade equivalents are provided.

Diagnose Oral Reading Difficulties With


Ease and Confidence Using the GORT 4
Gray Oral Reading Tests, 4th Ed. (GORT 4)
J. Lee Wiederholt, EdD and Brian R. Bryant, PhD

The GORT 4 is a
norm-referenced, reliable,
and valid test of oral reading
rate, accuracy, fluency, and
comprehension. It measures
growth in oral reading and
assists in the diagnosis of
oral reading difficulties.
Purpose: Assess oral
reading skills

Age: 6-18.11 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 20-30 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The widely used Gray Oral Reading Tests, 3rdEd.


has been revised and now provides all new normative data. The GORT 4 provides an efficient and
objective measure of growth in oral reading and
assists in the diagnosis of oral difficulties. The test
consists of two parallel forms, each containing 14
developmentally sequenced reading passages with
five comprehension questions. The two forms of the
test allow you to study an individuals oral reading
progress over time.
The GORT 4 provides a Fluency Score that is
derived by combining the readers performance in
Rate (time in seconds to read each passage) and
Accuracy (number of deviations from print made in
each passage). The number of correct responses
to the comprehension questions provides an Oral
Reading Comprehension Score. The Fluency Score
and the Oral Reading Comprehension Score then
are combined to obtain an Oral Reading Quotient.
All scores are reported in terms of standard scores,
percentile ranks, grade equivalents, and age
equivalents.
In addition, the GORT 4 provides a system for
analyzing the types of oral reading errors made in
five areas. The frequency of each of the reading
errors is reported in a percentage.

The GORT 4 is useful in a variety of settings, such


as elementary and secondary schools, clinics, and
reading centers. It helps identify those students who

The GORT 4 is one of three tests in a series. The


other two are the Gray Silent Reading Test (GSRT)
and the Gray Diagnostic Reading Test, 2nd Ed.
(GDRT 2). The three tests can be used independently or as a battery. For example, the GORT 4 can
be used when you are interested only in oral reading
ability; the GORT 4 and the GSRT can be used
when you want to compare a persons oral and silent
reading abilities; and the GDRT 2 can be used when
the readers ability is so poor that he or she cannot
handle the demands of passage reading, or when
you want to look at a variety of reading skills.

Gray Silent Reading Tests (GSRT)


J. Lee Wiederholt, EdD and Ginger Blalock, PhD

The GSRT was developed to be used independently or as an adjunct to the Gray Oral Reading Tests, 4thEd.
(GORT 4). The GSRT helps you quickly and efficiently measure an individuals silent reading comprehension
ability. GSRT results may be used to identify individuals whose scores are significantly below those of their
peers and who might need additional assessment and intervention designed to improve reading comprehension, to determine areas of relative strength and weakness across reading comprehension, to document
overall progress in reading development as a consequence of intervention programs, and to serve as a
measure for research efforts designed to investigate reading comprehension.
The GSRT consists of two parallel forms, each containing 13 developmentally sequenced reading passages with five multiple-choice questions. Each form yields raw scores, grade equivalents, age equivalents,
percentiles, and a Silent Reading Quotient.




Appropriate for individuals ages 7-25 years.


Normed on 1,400 individuals in 31 states.
Highly reliable and valid.
Cultural, ethnic, and gender bias have been eliminated.
Useful in a variety of settings, including elementary and secondary schools, clinics, reading centers, and postsecondary environments.

Gray Diagnostic Reading Tests, 2nd Ed. (GDRT 2)


Brian R. Bryant, PhD, J. Lee Wiederholt, EdD, and Diane P. Bryant

The GDRT 2 has been revised and updated to reflect current research in reading. The GDRT 2, along with
the Gray Oral Reading Tests, 4th Ed. (GORT 4) and the Gray Silent Reading Tests (GSRT), form the Gray
reading test battery. The GDRT 2 assesses students who have difficulty reading continuous print and who
require an evaluation of specific abilities and weaknesses. Two parallel forms are provided to allow you to
study a students reading progress over time.
The GDRT 2 has four core subtests, each of which measures a significant reading skill: Letter/Word
Identification, Phonetic Analysis, Reading Vocabulary, and Meaningful Reading. Three supplemental
subtestsListening Vocabulary, Rapid Naming, and Phonological Awarenessmeasure skills that play an
important role in the diagnosis or teaching of developmental readers or children with dyslexia.
The GDRT 2 was normed on a sample of 1,018 students ages 6-13 years. The normative sample was
stratified to correspond to key demographic variables (i.e.,race, gender, geographic region). The reliabilities
of the test are high; all internal consistency reliabilities for the composites are .94 or above. Studies showing
the absence of culture, gender, race, and disability have been added; several new validity studies have been

Purpose: Assess the
understanding of
written language

Age: 7-17.11 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 45 minutes or less

Qualification Level: B

The TORC-4 can be used (a) to identify children and


adolescents whose silent reading comprehension
scores are significantly below their peers and who
therefore might need help improving their reading
proficiency and comprehension, (b) to document
student progress in remedial programs, and (c)as
a research tool in studies investigating reading
problems in children and adolescents. Five subtests
measure word identification and contextual meaning.
Studies cited in the TORC-4 Examiners Manual
indicate that the test has high reliability and strong
validity, especially criterion-prediction validity.
Five Subtests of the TORC-4
Relational VocabularyStudents read a set of three
words that are in some way related to each other,
then silently read another four words and choose the
two that are related to the first set.
Sentence CompletionStudents silently read a
sentence that is missing two words and choose the
word pair that best completes the sentence from a list
of word pairs.
Paragraph ConstructionAfter silently reading a
list of sentences that are not in logical order, students
must rearrange the sentences to form a coherent
paragraph.
Text ComprehensionStudents silently read a
short passage and then answer five multiple-choice
questions about the passage.

Contextual FluencyStudents recognize as many


individual words as they can in a series of passages.
This subtest is timed.

The subtests are combined to form a composite


called the Reading Comprehension Index, a
standard score with a mean of 100 and a standard
deviation of 15. This index represents students ability to understand contextual printed material.
New Features of the TORC-4
All new normative data were obtained using a sample
of 1,942 students in 14 states.
Reliability coefficients have been computed by age
and subgroup within the normative sample.
All new validity studies are reported, including a
rigorous analysis of the TORC-4s sensitivity and

Age: 5-14.11 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: Approximately 30-45


minutes for each
subtest

Qualification Level: B

182

The SAGES-2 assesses aptitude and achievement in order to identify gifted students. Aptitude is
measured via the Reasoning subtest. The other two
subtests (Mathematics/Science and Language Arts/
Social Studies) assess achievement. Both of these
subtests require the child to respond to questions
in a multiple-choice format; items require recall,
understanding, and application of ideas and basic
concepts in the content areas. The SAGES-2 is not
intended to identify children for inclusion in classes
emphasizing talents in creative, artistic, or leadership areas.
The SAGES-2 was normed on two large samples.
Sample One (normal sample) consisted of 3,023
students who were in heterogeneous classrooms,
and Sample Two (gifted sample) consisted of 2,290
students who were identified as gifted by their local
school districts. Standard scores and percentile ranks
are provided for both samples.
The reliability coefficients for the test are high,
ranging from .77 to .95; 97% of these reach or
exceed .80 and 74% reach or exceed .90. Test-retest
studies show that the SAGES-2 is stable over
time. Extensive validity data are reported as well,

documenting the tests relationship to the WISC-III,

stratified norms.
Purpose: Measure auditory
processing skills

Age: 4-18.11 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: Approximately 1 hour


to administer; 15-20
minutes to score

Qualification Level: B
Requirements:
CD player for optional auditory task

The TAPS-3 is a revision of the Test of Auditory


Perceptual Skills. Intended to be used along
with other tests as part of a battery, the TAPS-3
measures what a child or adolescent does with
what he or she hears. It is designed to be used by
speech-language pathologists, audiologists, school
psychologists, and other testing professionals.
The TAPS-3 now offers seamless coverage for
children ages 4-18 years. Other changes primarily
involve the structure of the test (e.g.,subtest order
was amended to reflect a developmental progression of tasks, ranging from easiest to most difficult).
Four new subtests have been added: Phonological
Segmentation, Phonological Blending, Auditory
Comprehension, and Auditory Reasoning. New
items were developed for many subtests, some
existing test items were retained, and the content of
some subtests was completely revised. An optional
Auditory Figure-Ground task also was added as a
supplemental subtest presented via audio CD to
flag attention problems and give feedback about
how the childs auditory processing system works in
real-world situations.

There also are notable differences in how scores are


derived and the types of scores obtained. The use
of partial credit in some subtests more accurately
reflects the childs auditory abilities. In addition to
one overall score, individual subtest scores are combined to derive three cluster scores: Basic Auditory
Skills, Auditory Memory, and Auditory Cohesion.
The TAPS-3 norms now are nationally stratified
to closely match the demographics shown in
the U.S.Census for gender, ethnicity, residence,
geographic location, and parent educational level.
Norms are based on data from more than 2,000students. Individual subtests are reported as scaled
scores; cluster scores and the overall score are
reported as standard scores. Percentile ranks and
age equivalents also are provided.

Core or supplementary testsEach CASL


test is classified as either core or supplementary,
depending on the age level of the child assessed.
Core tests measure the most representative aspects
of each language category, and supplementary tests
provide additional diagnostic information for use in
quantitative and qualitative analyses.
Flexible and easy to administerThe core battery
can be completed in just 30 to 45 minutes, and you
have the option of giving only the tests you need
for a given child. The CASL requires no reading or

OWLS: Written Expression Scale (WE)


Elizabeth Carrow-Woolfolk, PhD

The OWLS WE provides an assessment of written


language that may be administered individually
or in small groups to individuals ages 5-21 years
11months. The scales wide age range offers a
broad-based record of growth. It is designed to measure the ability to use conventions (letter formation,
spelling/incorrect words, punctuation, capitalization,
conventional structures), to use linguistic forms
(modifiers, phrases, question form, verb forms,
sentences, complex sentence structures), and to
communicate meaningfully (appropriate content,
details, coherence, supporting ideas, word choice,
unity).
The OWLS WE is easy to use and score. To
administer the scale, the examiner reads aloud a
verbal stimulus. The examinee responds by writing
in the Response Booklet. Some items are presented
with pictures or print for the examinees reference
when responding.

The Manual features detailed scoring guidelines


with samples of actual responses. The Record Form
contains representations of score patterns, a record
of item-by-item results, and a summary of score
comparisons. The scale has high validity and reliability. OWLS WE results can be used for identification,
intervention, monitoring of growth, and research.

OWLS: Listening Comprehension (LC)


and Oral Expression (OE) Scales
Elizabeth Carrow-Woolfolk, PhD

The OWLS, consisting of the Listening Compre


hension (LC) scales and the Oral Expression
(OE) scales, provides an individually administered
assessment of receptive and expressive language
for children and young adults.
Administration is easy. Neither scale requires the
examinee to read. Descriptive Analysis Worksheet
Masters that allow you to categorize responses
by item type (lexical, syntactic, pragmatic, and
supralinguistic) are provided in each package of
Record Forms.
Scoring is fast and reliable. The LC Easel and
the Record Form contain correct responses for
each item for on-the-spot scoring. For the OE, the
examiner may do a preliminary tally and then consult
the item-by-item scoring rules to determine scores of
particular items.
Age-based norms can be used in learning disabilities assessments to meet requirements of

P.L.94-102 (IDEA, P.L. 101-476) for the areas of


listening comprehension and oral expression.
Raw scores can be converted to standard scores,
percentile ranks, normal curve equivalents, stanines,
and age equivalents.

Merrill-PalmerRevised Scales of Development


(Merrill-Palmer-R)
Gale H. Roid, PhD and Jackie L. Sampers, PhD

The Merrill-Palmer-R was designed to assess the


five domains required by IDEA, providing both a
global assessment as well as individual scores for
each IDEA-required domain. The instrument provides normative standard scores, percentiles, and
age equivalence and criterion-referenced growth
scores that are sensitive to change for the five IDEA
domains. Also provided is an Overall Developmental
Index for all assessment scales related to intellectual
functioning and additional measures of socialemotional functioning.
Recommended Uses for
the Merrill-Palmer-R
Developmental assessment of Cognitive, Language,
Motor, Self-Help, and Social-Emotional Domains
required by federal and state regulations.
Assessment of general cognitive development in
English- and Spanish-speaking children.
Screening of infants and children who have been
referred for the evaluation of possible developmental
delays or disabilities.
Reevaluations of individuals previously identified as
developmentally delayed.

The Merrill-Palmer-R materials consist of the


Administration and Scoring Manual, the Growth
Score Profile, Manipulatives, Record Forms, and
Copying Response Sheets (Forms A and B).
There are separate Record Forms for each domain

and separate forms for the examiner and the


parent within three of the domains. The Growth
Score Profile allows the examiner to plot scores
of individual IDEA domains, relating each to age
equivalence. Once these scores are plotted, specific
deficit areas can be identified by test item and then
can be used to develop an educational plan that
targets these deficits.

Especially useful in assessing


children born preterm, the
Merrill-Palmer-R meets the need
for an infant and early childhood
assessment required by state
and federal legislation for the
identification of developmental
delays and learning problems.

Peabody Developmental Motor Scales, 2nd Ed. (PDMS-2)


M. Rhonda Folio, EdD and Rebecca R. Fewell, PhD

The PDMS-2 is an early childhood motor development program that provides both in-depth assessment and training or remediation of gross and fine
motor skills. The assessment is composed of six
subtests that measure the interrelated motor abilities
that develop early in life from birth through 5 years
of age.
The six PDMS-2 subtests include Reflexes,
Stationary, Locomotion, Object Manipulation,
Grasping, and Visual-Motor Integration.
The PDMS-2 can be used to estimate a childs motor
competence relative to his/her peers; compare a
childs gross motor development with his/her fine
motor development to determine whether disparate
abilities are present; identify skill deficits and help
develop individualized goals and objectives; evaluate
a childs progress; or research the nature of motor
development in various populations of children, the
role of motor ability in academic success, and the
effectiveness of various motor interventions.
The Peabody Motor Activities Program (P-MAP) is
the instruction/treatment program for the PDMS-2.
It contains units organized developmentally by skill
area.

The Peabody Motor Development Chart provides


the examiner with a convenient reference for the
motor skills measured by the PDMS-2 and the ages
at which 50% of the normative sample was able to
perform the skill.
The Profile/Summary Forms enable you to graphically
display the childs performance and to compare
that childs performance on the items he/she has
mastered with that of the normative sample.

KOPPITZ-2: Koppitz Developmental Scoring


System for the Bender Gestalt Test, 2nd Ed.
Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD

Designed for individual


administration, the KOPPITZ-2
allows careful observation of the
examinee to gain insights into the
qualitative nature of any evident
visual-motor integration problems.
Purpose: Measure visual-motor
integration skills

Age: 5-85 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 5-10 minutes

Qualification Level: B
Note:
You may order the KOPPITZ-2 Kit
with or without the Bender Gestalt-II
Stimulus Cards.

The KOPPITZ-2 has been expanded to cover a


broad age range with additional designs and a
revised scoring system to add reliability at all levels.
For the first time, the Koppitz Developmental Scoring
System has been normed on a nationally stratified,
Census-matched sample of children and adults from
throughout the United States.
The KOPPITZ-2 is a highly reliable, valid measure
of visual-motor integration skills that applies the
developmental approach to scoring made so popular
by its originator, Dr. Elizabeth Munsterberg Koppitz.
The KOPPITZ-2 is true to Dr. Koppitzs original
conceptualization but has been redeveloped to meet
current psychometric standards. The age range has
been extended to allow the evaluation of special
education students through age 21 years and to
assist in the evaluation of the visual-motor integration deficits of the growing population of seniors. For
older children and adults, both 2- and 3-dimensional
drawings are now required that reveal subtle deficits
in visual-motor integration processes.
The Bender Gestalt Test has long been one of the
most frequently administered of all psychological
tests. This revision of the Koppitz Scoring System
remains true to Dr. Koppitzs original views of the
drawing of the Bender Gestalt figures and the reduction in errors in the execution of these drawings as
a true developmental phenomenon. The figures are
derived from theories of Gestalt psychology.
The KOPPITZ-2 requires the examinee to draw
increasingly complex figures from a model (the
Bender designs) on a plain sheet of white paper
and to organize the task independently. It assesses
the ability to relate visual stimuli accurately to motor
responses. It does so using a less structured task
than other tests of visual-motor integration, thereby
providing a more ecologically sound approach to
assessment of visual-motor integration skills relative
to highly structured drawing tasks.
Uses for the KOPPITZ-2
Determine the presence and degree of any extant
visual-motor problems.
Identify candidates for remedial programs and visualmotor training.
Evaluate the effectiveness of intervention programs
and monitor recovery following acute injury.
Monitor the progression of progressive degenerative
disease processes that affect visual-motor integration
skills.
Gather research regarding the visual-motor
integration process.

community size, and other critical variables to ensure
representativeness of the total population.
Internal consistency (alpha) reliabilities for all but one
age are greater than .80 (exception is the reliability for
5-year-old children = .77); the average of reliabilities
across ages is .88. The test correlates highly with
the WISC-III Performance Scale and Perceptual
Organization Index.
A special chapter of the Examiners Manual is
devoted to the Koppitz Emotional Indicators (EIs)
and their proper use. A specialized scoring form is
provided just for the purpose of scoring the Koppitz
EIs objectively and with ease as well as maintaining
them as a separate record from the Developmental

Wide Range Assessment of Visual Motor Abilities (WRAVMA)


Wayne Adams, PhD and David Sheslow, PhD

The WRAVMA is a well-standardized tool that provides a reliable, accurate evaluation of visual-motor
skills of children and adolescents ages 3-17 years.
The WRAVMA assesses three areas using three
tests: the Drawing (Visual Motor) Test, the Matching
(Visual-Spatial) Test, and the Pegboard (Fine Motor)
Test. The norms for each test were derived from
the same standardization sample of 2,600 children,
permitting a psychometrically sound comparison of
a childs overall visual-motor ability. Although each
WRAVMA test can be used individually, all three
tests can be administered in combination, yielding
a comparison of a childs integrated visual-motor
ability with the skill areas of visual-spatial and fine
motor abilities.
The three areas were selected because of their
relevance to school-related activities. Difficulties performing visual-motor tasks, such as copying from the
chalkboard, drawing, or handwriting, can be linked to
either fine motor deficits, spatial deficits, and/or to an
integration deficit when motor and spatial systems
are combined. The WRAVMA is uniquely suited to
evaluate visual-motor ability because of its capability
of making meaningful psychometric distinctions
between important contributing subareas. The
multifactorial nature of the WRAVMA provides a

basis for explanations of such common occurrences


as a kindergartner whose block building skills are
adequate but who cannot write well, or the child
who has trouble copying from the blackboard but
performs well on puzzle construction tasks, or the
teen who can draw single designs or write individual
spelling words well enough, but who shows an
obvious deficit in writing a page of text.
The WRAVMA provides a Visual-Motor Integration
Composite derived from the three separate subtest
assessments of Fine-Motor, Visual-Spatial, and
Visual-Motor abilities. A scaled score, standard
score, age equivalent, and percentile may be
obtained for each of these subtests.
0D-5644-KT

With solid reliability and


validity coefficients, the
WRAVMA represents one of the

sound measures of visual-motor
skills for children available today.

College ADHD Response Evaluation (CARE)


Joseph Glutting, PhD, David Sheslow, PhD, and Wayne Adams, PhD

The CARE is an ADHD assessment designed specifically for those college students who are concerned that
symptoms of ADHD may be impacting their achievement and who may require educational accommodations. The instrument also can assist postsecondary disability service providers with students who have a
documented history of ADHD.
The CARE consists of two rating scales: the Student Response Inventory (SRI), which is administered to
college students, and the Parent Response Inventory (PRI), which is administered to students parents. Test
items that relate to anxiety disorders, mood disorders, somatic disorders, disruptive behavior disorders, and
substance abuse form the comorbidity screener.
Reading levels are low: 6th grade for the SRI and 7th grade for the PRI.
Examiners can use two normative standards to identify ADHD: comparison to average college students and
comparison to DSM-IV diagnostic standards for adults.
Excellent reliability and validity.

Test of Visual Perceptual Skills, 3rd Ed. (TVPS-3)


Nancy A. Martin, PhD

Visual perception is the ability to make sense out


of what one sees. The TVPS-3 is an easy-to-use
assessment to determine a childs or adolescents
visual perceptual strengths and weaknesses. The
TVPS-3 combines the TVPS-R and the TVPS-UL-R
into one test that covers all of the ages previously
served by the two earlier editions.
The TVPS-3 assesses the following visual perceptual skills: Visual Discrimination, Visual Memory,
Visual-Spatial Relationships, Form Constancy,
Visual Sequential Memory, Visual Figure-Ground,
and Visual-Closure. It is designed to be used by
psychologists, occupational therapists, educational
diagnosticians, developmental optometrists, learning
specialists, and other assessment professionals.
The TVPS-3 utilizes black and white designs as
stimuli for all of the perceptual tasks. Within each
area, the items are arranged in a developmental
progression. The items are presented in a multiplechoice format; item responses are made vocally
or by pointing. This format is ideal for children who
may have impairments in motor, speech, hearing,
neurological, or cognitive functioning. The TVPS-3
contains 16 plates for each perceptual area; each
area is normed separately so that the clinician may
reliably differentiate the various visual perceptual
processes. The plates are spiral bound with fold-out
easels to make presentation easy. The Manual
includes a completed and scored protocol for
instructional purposes.

Analysis of the subtest score patterns provides functional comparisons that enable the clinician to make
a comprehensive diagnosis of a childs perceptual
abilities separate from motor skills. The TVPS-3 also
provides new, nationally stratified norms based on
data from more than 2,000 children and adolescents.
Administration and Scoring

The TVPS-3 may be administered to individuals or


small groups. The test takes approximately 30-40
minutes to complete, depending on the age and the
abilities of the individual being tested. No basals
are needed and ceilings are used to minimize any
fatigue effects.
Scoring is quick and easy and can be completed
in approximately 5 minutes. The front of the Record
Form provides a convenient graphic to display
subtest scores.
Scores are presented as individual subtest scaled
scores, and one overall standard score, enabling
the TVPS-3 scores to be compared easily to scores
from other standardized tests. Percentile ranks and
age equivalents also are provided.

Combines the TVPS-R and


the TVPS-UL-R into one test

Young Childrens Achievement Test (YCAT)


Wayne P. Hresko, PhD, Pamela K. Peak, PhD, Shelley R. Herron, PhD, and Deanna L. Bridges

The YCAT is a quick, reliable, and valid instrument that helps determine early academic abilities. It is
designed for use with preschool, kindergarten, and 1st-grade children.
Primary uses are to identify children who are developing normally or who are significantly below their peers in
academic achievement, to document educational progress, and for research.
Includes five subtests that may be administered independently of each other, providing flexible scheduling for
testing sessions: General Information, Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Spoken Language.
The five YCAT subtests combine to form an Early Achievement Composite (EAC), which indicates a childs overall
achievement in early academic areas.
Standard scores, percentiles, and age equivalents are provided for both the subtests and the composite.
For the 4- and 5-year-old child, the YCAT is an accurate representation of a child who has received no (or minimal)
formal instruction; for the older child, the YCAT represents how the child has benefited from formal academic
instruction in school.
Normed on 1,224 children from 32 states and the District of Columbia.

Motor-Free Visual Perception Test-3 (MVPT-3)


Ronald R. Colarusso, EdD and Donald D. Hammill, EdD

Especially useful with those


individuals who may have learning,
motor, or cognitive disabilities.
Purpose: Obtain a quick
assessment of
visual perception

Age: 4-95 years

Admin: Individual

Time: Approximately
25 minutes

Qualification Level: B or S

The MVPT-3 is a major revision of the MVPT-R, utilizing both the original test plates and new test plates that
add more of a challenge for those ages 11 years and older. The MVPT-3 assesses an individuals visualperceptual ability with no motor involvement needed to make a response. It is especially useful with those
who may have learning, motor, or cognitive disabilities.
The MVPT-3 features new norms based on a nationally representative sample. It is designed to be used for
screening, diagnostic, and research purposes by teachers, psychologists, occupational therapists, educational specialists, optometrists, and others who may need a quick, reliable, and valid measure of overall
visual-perceptual ability in children and adults. The new Manual provides reliability and validity studies and
comparisons for clinical populations.
Administration and Scoring

The MVPT-3 takes approximately 25 minutes to administer. The horizontal, multiple-choice item format of
earlier versions has been retained. Test Plates are contained in one easy-to-use book with an easel back.
Test administration cues are provided on the Recording Forms to facilitate testing.
Scoring is extremely easy; no basals or ceilings are needed. Raw scores are quickly converted to standard
scores and percentile ranks. Optional response time data identify whether an individuals responses are
significantly delayed.

Test of Visual-Motor Skills3 (TVMS-3)


Nancy A. Martin, PhD

The TVMS-3 assesses how well an individual can coordinate visually guided fine-motor movements to copy
a design while it is in sight. The test is used to determine whether there are any systematic distortions or
gross inaccuracies in the copied design that could be the result of deficits in visual perception, motor planning, and/or execution. The scoring system has been greatly simplified, with no need for a ruler or protractor.
Additionally, a single test replaces the two levels of the previous version (i.e., TVMS-R, TVMS-UL), making
the test both easier to administer and more economical. The need for the alternate quick-scoring method that
was offered previously for the TVMS-R has also been eliminated in this version.
The TVMS-3 is norm-referenced
on a national sample of 2,610
individuals. The revised version
is also more economical and
easier to administer with a
single test versus the two levels
(i.e.,TVMS-R,TVMSUL) offered
in the previous version.
Purpose: Assess visual-motor
skill

Age: 3-90+ years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 20-30 minutes

Qualification Level: B or S

Administration and Scoring

The examinee is given a test booklet containing a series of 39 geometric designs of increasing complexity
and is asked to reproduce each design as closely as possible; however, he or she may not sketch or trace
the designs, and he or she may not attempt more than one copy for each design. The test is not timed.
Results are expressed as a general accuracy standard score and an analysis of errors seen in the copied
design. The manual contains detailed descriptions and examples of actual test results obtained during the
norming study, showing the error types and scoring guidelines. The manual also contains a scoring tutorial
that details the scoring process using annotated examples for all error types, and includes practice exercises.
The scoring sheet has a built-in guide to the types of errors possible on each design. Nine types of errors are
identified:
Incorrect Closures
Line Lengths
Addition or Deletion of a Part

Line Quality
Modification of Size or Part
Shape Overlap Error

Analysis of the types of errors made provides a detailed evaluation of visual-motor skills. Results can be
reported as standard scores, percentile ranks, or age equivalents. When used along with a test of visual
perception, the tests can differentiate between impairments that are primarily visual-motor in nature and
perceptual difficulties.

Literacy Navigator Teaches Students


How to Read and Understand
Complex Informational Text...

Unlike most typical reading


interventions, Literacy Navigator
prepares students for the type
of reading they encounter in
textbooks and on state exams.

Literacy Navigator
Americas Choice

Many students in Grades 4-10 struggle to stay at grade level. During


these years, reading becomes reading to learn and students
encounter increasingly complex informational text. Literacy Navigator
is designed to help these students as well as English language learners who are comfortable with social language or who are adequate
readers of literary text but struggle to comprehend content-rich text.
Although strategies such as visualizing, making predictions, and
summarizing can help with literary text, they are of limited use with
informational text. Content-rich informational text requires a different
set of skills that includes both an understanding of expository text
features as well as an ability to build relevant background knowledge.
Literacy Navigator addresses these issues comprehensively.
Designed as 45-50 minute lessons, Literacy Navigator modules can
be conducted before or after regular school sessions, at other times
set aside for student support during the school day, or in summer
school, and they may be used with full classes or in small group
instruction.
Each Literacy Navigator lesson contains multiple comprehension
strategies based on the construction-integration model of comprehension, with some strategies used to build an understanding of the text
base and other strategies aimed at constructing a mental model. Each
lesson builds content knowledge as students grapple with increasingly
complex text and ideas. It teaches research-based comprehension
skills that students need in order to build a coherent understanding
of the text as a whole. During lessons, students practice applying
relevant background knowledge, recasting test information in their
own words, building appropriate graphic organizers, and engaging in
discussion with other students to deepen their understanding of what
they have learned. Literacy Navigator lessons are designed not only
to teach comprehension but also to help students store content in
long-term memory so that it becomes knowledge.

Special Features of Literacy Navigator


The program uses instructional strategies based on the results of 30
years of research in both the reading and cognitive science communities.
It teaches commonly used structures found in informational texts, such
as cause and effect, sequence, and claim and evidence.
It helps build recognition and understanding of the elements critical to
the comprehension of content-rich, dense passages (e.g., connecting
words, pronoun reference, substitution of words and phrases).
It helps build knowledge of and fluency with academic language and
common tier-two vocabulary.
It assists students with understanding and demonstrating relationships
among ideas through the creation of varied graphic organizers and
focused writing tasks.
It uses embedded assessments (e.g., pretests, posttests) to identify
additional instructional needs and to monitor student progress.
What Separates Literacy Navigator From
Other Intervention Programs?
It gives students strategies that are easily transferable to other texts.
It strengthens vocabulary and helps students with word analysis.
It engages students with interesting content and requires group and
partner work in which they actively read, talk, think aloud, and write
about the content.
It prepares students to excel in high-stakes tests like state reading
exams; the texts were selected to align with National Assessment
of Educational Progress (NAEP) standards and with ACTs college
readiness standards for reading comprehension.
It provides the teacher with everything they need to understand and
teach the program at one point of use.
Extremely flexible, Literacy Navigator can be used to enhance any core
reading curriculum.
It is far more comprehensive and cost-effective than other reading
intervention programsyour students not only become much better
readers, they also become much better students overall.
Skills learned from this program are applicable to all subjects and may
prevent students from needing intensive intervention at a later point in
future grades.

PAR Creating Connections. Changing Lives.

Mathematics Navigator Is
the Only MisconceptionFocused Intervention With
a Comprehensive Screener
That Identifies the Need for
Intervention in Line With RTI
Mathematics Navigator clearly
answers the call for RTI by addressing
problems early, before a child falls so
far behind that a referral to special
education services is warranted.

Mathematics Navigator
Americas Choice

Teachers need an intervention tool that can quickly and easily diagnose students specific needs and shortfalls, recognize faulty learning
from earlier grades, and prescribe a focused plan of action to meet
these needs and accelerate students learning. Mathematics Navigator
is not geared toward a quick fix that will get a child through his or
her grade. It repairs inherent problems retained from earlier learning
and helps kids become better students with a deeper understanding
of math and vastly improved work habits. This group intervention
program is designed for elementary and secondary students who are
struggling with specific mathematics concepts and skills.
It results in higher scores on high-stakes tests.
It encourages dramatic improvement in classroom performance
students learn to excel in math and become active participants in math
classes.
It saves teachers time by giving them all of the tools they need at one
point of use. The built-in assessment and the provision of the right
problems ensure that teachers are properly supported.
It saves time and resources by focusing directly on the area of
need instead of using a scattershot approach. And, by addressing
misconceptions and learning gaps early on, Mathematics Navigator may
prevent students from needing intensive intervention in later grades.

Mathematics Navigator is designed to target the misconceptions about


math that students may have learned in earlier grades. To ensure
that students get where they need to be academically, continue
learning throughout the school year, and keep up with their class in
future grades, these basic misconceptions have to be identified and

corrected. Mathematics Navigator was created to do exactly that, and


is recognized as the leader in this area.
Mathematics Navigators highly focused system of diagnostic
screeners and pretests helps you find the areas where students need
to rebuild and/or correct their foundation of learning. The program
provides proven routines and rituals that guide students through a
specific and predictable course of action that supports their learning,
maximizes instructional time, and allows for differentiated instruction. It
strikes the right balance between emphasis on skills, problem solving,
and conceptsstudents dont just solve problems and get answers;
they are guided to a better comprehension of mathematical concepts.
Why Implement Mathematics Navigator
in Your School or District?
The program is based on nearly two decades of research with proven
results in a wide range of students and schools.
It is flexibleit complements any school math curriculum or textbook and
can be used in a variety of settings: during the school day, after school,
in summer school, or with tutoring.
Consistent rituals and routines with well-structured lessons make it
easy for teachers to learn and implement and provide consistency for
students.
Course modules and topics align with your states standards and tests.
Designed to get students engaged in math, the program provides a
high level of motivation for students to continue learning and using
mathematics.

Description of RIAS Intelligence Subtests
Verbal Reasoning

Measures verbal analytical reasoning abilities.

Guess What

Measures vocabulary knowledge in combination with reasoning skills that are predicated on language development and
fund of information.

Odd-Item Out

Measures general reasoning skills emphasizing nonverbal ability.

Whats Missing

Measures nonverbal reasoning skills through the presentation of pictures in which some important component of the
pictured object is missing.
Description of RIAS Memory Subtests

Verbal Memory

Measures the ability to encode, briefly store, and recall verbally presented material in a meaningful context.

Nonverbal Memory

Measures the ability to encode, briefly store, and recall visually presented material, whether the stimuli represent concrete
objects or abstract concepts.

The RIAS Provides an Objective, Reliable Assessment


of Intelligence and Its Major Components
Applies familiar, common concepts that are clear and easy to interpret
and simple to administer and score.
Avoids gender, ethnic, and cultural bias.
Correlates highly with the WISC-III FSIQ, the WAIS-III FSIQ, and the
WIAT.
Ideal for Use in Both Educational and Clinical Settings
For determining educational placement of preschool- and school-aged
children.
For predicting achievement based on assessment of intellectual abilities.
For use as a stand-alone intellectual assessment in clinical settings,
or as the intellectual assessment component of neuropsychological
batteries.
For assisting in the diagnosis of specific disorders that require a
standardized assessment of intellectual functioning, such as mental
retardation and learning disabilities (LDs).
For assessing the effects of central nervous system injury or compromise
(e.g., traumatic brain injury [TBI], cerebrovascular accident, epileptic
seizure).
For evaluating applicants for state and federal disability, including
Section 504 determinations.
Simple to Administer and Score

The RIAS uses standard administration procedures common to other


individual intellectual assessment instruments. The examiner presents
the stimuli (verbally or visually) to the client, beginning with the agebased subtest item, and then records the clients responses on the
RIAS Record Form. Item administration continues until the end rule
criterion for each subtest is met. The Total Raw Score for each subtest
is transferred to the RIAS Score Summary Table on the Record Form.
Each subtest raw score is converted to a T score using the appropriate age-specific conversion table in the RIAS/RIST Professional
Manual. Sums of subtest T scores are then converted to index scores
using the conversion tables provided in the Professional Manual. The
Professional Manual also provides 90% and 95% confidence intervals,
percentile ranks, T scores, z scores, NCEs, and stanines.
RIAS Performance by Clinical Groups

The RIAS was administered to 507 individuals representing 15 different clinical groups within the following categories: organic syndromes,
mental retardation, learning disability/ADHD, and psychiatric disorders.

Organic syndromes. This category included individuals diagnosed


with TBI, dementia (i.e.,Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease),
cerebrovascular accident/stroke, seizure disorder, and deafness/
hearing deficiencies. Except for the deaf/hearing deficient group, all
organic syndrome groups scored lower than the normative sample
mean on all RIAS Indexes and subtests. As would be expected from
the literature, the deaf/hearing deficient group scored higher than the
population mean on both the NIX and the CMX.
Mental retardation. Individuals with mental retardation scored predictably low on the RIAS.
Learning disability/ADHD. This group included children and adults.
As expected from the literature, both children and adults with LD had
higher NIX scores than VIX scores. A similar pattern was found for
individuals with ADHD.
Psychiatric disorders (anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar
disorder, and polysubstance abuse). Individuals in this group demonstrated some level of cognitive impairment relative to the normative
sample.
The RIST Provides a Quick Estimate
of General Intelligence

Derived from the RIAS, the Reynolds Intellectual Screening Test


(RIST) consists of two RIAS subtests: Guess What (one of the
two verbal subtests) and Odd-Item Out (one of the two nonverbal
subtests). This brief screening measure takes only 10 minutes to
administer and helps to quickly identify individuals who may need
a more comprehensive intellectual assessment or an intellectual
reevaluation (see page 198 for more information).

Reynolds Intellectual Screening Test (RIST)


Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD and Randy W. Kamphaus, PhD

Provides clinicians with


a quick overall estimate
of general intelligence, as
well as enough information
to determine if a more
comprehensive evaluation
is warranted.
Purpose: Screening
measure of general
intelligence

Age: 3-94 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 10-15 minutes

Qualification Level: B

Derived from the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment


Scales (RIAS), this brief screening measure
helps to quickly identify individuals who need a more
comprehensive intellectual assessment, or to document the continuing presence of intellectual deficits.
The RIST serves as a quick screener at reevaluation
or follow-up when a full RIAS may not be warranted.
It also provides a quick overall estimate of general
intelligence (g) for individuals who may benefit from
a full RIAS evaluation for placement in educational
programs for the gifted and/or talented. The RIST
also is a valuable tool for estimating intelligence for
large groups, research investigations, determining
the current cognitive status of patients, planning
vocational and rehabilitation programs, multiple gate
assessments, and reassessing individuals who have
had a previous comprehensive evaluation.
The RIST consists of two RIAS subtests: Guess
What (a verbal subtest) and Odd-Item Out (a nonverbal subtest). These two subtests were selected
on the basis of theoretical, empirical, and practical
considerations. Guess What is a classic measure
of crystallized intelligence, whereas Odd-Item
Out shares characteristics with fluid intelligence.
Both subtests have good psychometric properties,
similarly good factor analytic and criterion-related
validity evidence, and both are efficiently administered and scored. The summed subtest T scores
are converted to yield the RIST Index (M = 100,
SD = 15). Conversion tables provided in the RIAS/
RIST Professional Manual can be used to obtain
percentile ranks, 90% and 95% confidence intervals,
T scores, z scores, NCEs, and stanines. RIST norms
are based on the RIAS normative sample of 2,438
individuals.
Administration and Scoring

The examiner presents the two RIST subtests


(Guess What and Odd-Item Out) to the client,
beginning with the age-based subtest item, and then
records the clients responses on the RIST Record
Form. Item administration continues until the end
rule criterion for each subtest is met. The Total Raw
Score for each subtest is transferred to the RIST
Score Summary table on the RIST Record Form.
Each subtest raw score is converted to a T score
using the appropriate age-specific conversion tables
provided in the RIAS/RIST Professional Manual.
Reliability

The RIST reliability data support its use as an


intellectual screening instrument. For the RIST

198

Index, the median reliability (a) coefficient is .95,


test-retest reliability is .84 (corrected for restriction
of range), and the median SEM is 3.35. These data
suggest that the RIST functions well as either a first
or second screening gate.
Validity

The RIST Index is highly correlated with the FSIQs


of the WISC-III (.83) and the WAIS-III (.67). The
relationships between the RIST Index and the
WISC-III and WAIS-III VIQs and PIQs are similar
to the pattern found for the RIAS Indexes. Thus,
evidence supports the RIST as an appropriate
screening instrument for intelligence.
The RIST correlates well with the WIAT, a measure
of academic achievement. Similar to results for the
RIAS, the highest correlations are between the RIST
Index and the WIAT mathematics (.69), language
(.67), and Total Composite (.66) scores.

The RIST was administered to 507 individuals representing 15 different clinical groups. Those individuals
diagnosed with mental retardation or dementia had
mean RIST Index scores in the mid 70s, well below
the normal population mean. Thus, the RIST can
effectively differentiate between individuals with and
without intellectual impairment.
The RIST provides a quick, reliable assessment of
an individuals general cognitive abilities. It is not
intended to replace a more comprehensive intellectual assessment such as the RIAS or other similar
instruments. The RIST may be used by a variety of
individuals under the supervision of a professional
with appropriate training and credentials for using
intelligence tests.

Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales/


Wide Range Achievement Test 4 Discrepancy
Interpretive Report (RIAS/WRAT4-DIR)
Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD, Randy W. Kamphaus, PhD, and PAR Staff

By comparing general ability levels as assessed by the RIAS/RIST to achievement levels as obtained by the
WRAT4, the RIAS/WRAT4-DIR provides the information necessary for determining special education eligibility and determining the presence of specific learning disabilities in students.
Two types of scoring methodologies are used to derive the discrepancy scores and to evaluate not only
the statistical significance of the score but also its prevalence within the population. The simple difference
method examines the difference between an obtained RIAS score and an obtained WRAT4 score. The
predicted-achievement method uses the individuals obtained RIAS score to predict his or her performance
on the WRAT4. It then examines the difference between the predicted WRAT4 score and the individuals
obtained WRAT4 score. Using these methods, three types of discrepancy reports that contain a total of
40 discrepancy scores are generated by the software: the RIST/WRAT4 Discrepancy Interpretive Report, the
RIAS/WRAT4 Discrepancy Interpretive Report, and the RIAS/WRAT4 Total Battery Discrepancy
Interpretive Report.
The RIAS/WRAT4-DIR Professional Manual Supplement provides normative data about the linking sample,
as well as overviews of the RIAS and the WRAT4.

Wide Range Intelligence Test (WRIT)


Joseph Glutting, PhD, Wayne Adams, PhD, and David Sheslow, PhD

The WRIT is a highly reliable battery of four subtests


of cognitive abilities. It assesses both verbal and
nonverbal abilities by means of Verbal and Visual
scales, with each scale consisting of two subtests
that address a group of specific abilities. The WRIT
yields a Verbal (Crystallized) IQ and a Visual (Fluid)
IQ, which generate a General IQ when combined.
The Vocabulary and Verbal Analogies subtests form
the Verbal scale, and the Matrices and Diamonds
User-friendly materials make it easy subtests form the Visual scale.
to learn to administer the WRIT.

Purpose: Provide a general


measure of
intelligence

Age: 4-85 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 20-30 minutes

Qualification Level: C
Note:
Stopwatch requiredsee page 261 for
stopwatches.

The Vocabulary subtest requires an individual to


verbally define a word that has been dictated and
used in a sentence by the examiner.
The Verbal Analogies subtest requires an individual
to complete verbal analogies dictated to them by the
examiner.
The Diamonds subtest requires an individual to
construct specific designs using single or multiple
diamond-shaped pieces.
The Matrices subtest requires an individual to
evaluate a series of pictures and to select the option
that best completes a visual array.

As an additional feature, the WRIT was co-normed


with the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT),
allowing for sound and efficient determination of an
intelligence/achievement discrepancy.
Features of the WRIT
Covers an extended age range; only one set of
materials is needed to assess preschool children as
young as age 4 years to adults age 85 years.
Provides colorful, attractive, and engaging subtests
that encourage participation of the individual being
evaluated, regardless of age.
Helps to document the ability levels of individuals and
provides an estimate of cognitive ability for psychiatric
or vocational rehabilitation evaluations.
Helps to identify learning disabilities, mental
retardation, giftedness, neuropsychological
impairments, and other exceptionalities.

Rapid Automatized Naming and


Rapid Alternating Stimulus Test (RAN/RAS)
Maryanne Wolf, EdD and Martha Bridge Denckla, MD

The RAN/RAS tests provide an important component to any predictive battery or diagnostic assessment of oral and written language. The tests consist
of rapid automatized naming tests (i.e.,Letters,
Numbers, Objects, Colors) and two rapid alternating stimulus tests (i.e.,2-Set Letters and Numbers;
3-Set Letters, Numbers, and Colors). The Letters,
Numbers, Colors, and Objects tests are made up
of five high-frequency stimuli that are repeated
randomly 10 times in an array of five rows for a
total of fifty stimulus items. The 2-Set Letters and
Numbers test and the 3-Set Letters, Numbers, and
Colors test are made up of 10 and 15, respectively,
high-frequency stimuli that are randomly repeated in
an array of five rows for a total of 50 stimulus items.
The examinee is asked to name each stimulus item
as quickly as possible without making any mistakes
on all tests. Scores are based on the amount of time
that is required to name all stimuli on each test. The
RAN/RAS materials include the Examiners Manual,
Examiner Record Forms, and a set of 6 Card Packs.

Test-retest reliability coefficients ranged from


.84to.92 for all age groups, with a test-retest
interval of approximately 2 weeks. Interrater reliabilities indicate a high level of agreement between
raters, with coefficients ranging from .98to.99. Good
evidence of validity for the RAN/RAS is demonstrated via content-description validity, criterionprediction validity, and construct-identification
validity. Additional validation studies concluded that
the RAN/RAS tests are valid measures of the ability
to perceive a visual symbol and name it accurately
and rapidly and that this ability differentiates many
children who have reading disabilities from children
who read with average abilities.

Since its original publication in 1940, the Shipley


Institute of Living Scale has been widely used
to assess cognitive functioning and impairment.
Revised and restandardized, this enduring test
continues to offer a brief yet robust measure of both
crystallized and fluid intelligencenow with updated
norms, an expanded age range that includes
both children and adults (ages 7-89 years), and a
new, nonverbal Block Patterns scale. Because it is
straightforward and brief, the Shipley-2 is ideal when
you need to obtain quick ability estimates, screen
for cognitive dysfunction, or qualify participants for
research studies. It also functions well as a component of more complex assessments in neuropsychological, clinical, and forensic settings.
Like the original test, the Shipley-2 measures two
aspects of cognition: crystallized knowledge, which
is gained through education and experience; and
fluid reasoning, or the capacity to use logic to learn
and acquire new information or solve problems.
Research shows that crystallized ability is relatively
stable, whereas fluid reasoning is affected by aging,
injury, and psychopathology. Because it assesses
both types of ability, the Shipley-2 can be used not
only to obtain a quick estimate of overall intelligence
but also to reveal cognitive impairment. By uncovering discrepancies between the two, the Shipley-2
can provide evidence of cognitive deterioration.
To measure crystallized ability, the Shipley-2
includes a 40-item Vocabulary scale. Each item
requires the respondent to look at a target word and
then choose, from four options, the word that is closest in meaning. To assess fluid ability, the test offers
two options: the Abstraction scale, which presents
25 sequence-completion items similar to those in
the original Shipley; and the new Block Patterns
scale, composed of 12 multiple-choice items based
on the well-known Kohs cube designs. Whereas
the Abstraction scale has the advantage of being
familiar to Shipley users, the Block Patterns scale
is a good alternative when you need a nonverbal
measure of fluid abilityor when you prefer the

simplicity of a multiple-choice response format. The


Manual offers guidance in selecting the appropriate
scale.
This revision retains the original Shipleys simplicity
while expanding its utility in varied applications. It is
ideal for intake screening, assessing brain injuries,
determining eligibility for disability benefits, measuring the effects of toxic exposure, guiding treatment
and rehabilitation, informing educational or job
placement decisions, identifying cognitive problems,
monitoring cognitive decline, and more.
Easy Administration,
Scoring, and Interpretation
Optional unlimited-use computer software enables
you to administer the Shipley-2 on-screen and rapidly
score responses from paper-and-pencil and/or onscreen administrations.
Presents separate norms stratified by age for children
(ages 7-19 years) and adults (ages 17-89 years)
based on a sample of 2,826 individuals representative
of the U.S. population in terms of ethnicity, gender,
and educational level.
Provides standard scores, percentiles, age
equivalents, and confidence intervals as well as
a Composite score, which is reflective of overall
cognitive ability; and the Impairment Index, which
represents the discrepancy between vocabulary and
abstract thinking and is calculated only for adults.

The SB5 Supports Early Prediction


of Emerging Learning Disabilities in
Children as Young as 4 Years Old...

Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, 5th Ed. (SB5)


Gale H. Roid, PhD

The SB5 provides comprehensive coverage of


five factors of cognitive ability: Fluid Reasoning,
Knowledge, Quantitative Reasoning, Visual-Spatial
Processing, and Working Memory. It is helpful in
diagnosing a wide variety of developmental disabilities and exceptionalities and also may be useful
in clinical and neuropsychological assessment;
early childhood assessment; psychoeducational
evaluations for special education placements;
adult Social Security and workers compensation
evaluations; providing information for interventions
such as IFSPs, IEPs, career assessment, industrial
selection, and adult neuropsychological treatment;
forensic contexts; and research on abilities and
aptitudes.
As a battery of cognitive tests, the SB5 advances
the assessment of strengths and weaknesses in
the cognitive processes of students who may be
evaluated for learning disabilities. The SB5 supports
early prediction of emerging learning disabilities in
children as young as 4 years old. Author research
has identified special predictive composite scores
for identifying disabilities in both reading and math.
Information on these composites is available in the
Interpretive Manual.
Standardization, Reliability, and Validity

Normative data for the SB5 were gathered from


4,800 individuals between the ages of 2 and
85+years. The normative sample closely matches
the demographics of the 2000 U.S. Census. Bias
reviews were conducted on all items for the following variables: gender, ethnicity, culture, religion,
region, and socioeconomic status. Reliabilities for
the FullScale IQ, Nonverbal IQ, and Verbal IQ
range from .95 to .98 (average internal consistency composite reliability, across all age groups).
Reliabilities for the factor indexes range from .90 to
.92. For the 10 subtests, reliabilities range from .84
to .89. Concurrent and criterion validity data were
obtained using the SB-IV, SB-LM, WJIII, UNIT,

Bender-Gestalt II, WPPSIR, WAIS-III, WIAT-II,


and WISC-III.
Scoring

The SB5 can be scored by hand or scored using


SB5 ScoringPro. After hand entry of the examinees
background information, age, and raw scores,
the program provides consistency in raw score
conversion, an extended score report, a graphical report, and a brief, narrative summary report
with guidelines and suggestions based on wellestablished principles of assessment. The report can
be exported to a word-processing file for editing as
necessary.
Features and Benefits
Enhanced nonverbal/low-verbal content that requires
minimal or no verbal responses from the examinee.
Useful in assessing LEP/ELL, deaf and hard-ofhearing, and autistic populations.
Extensive high-end items to ensure measurement of
the highest levels of gifted performance.
Improved low-end items for better measurement of
low functioning children and adults.
Valid measurement of abilities into the elderly years
with enhanced assessment of working memory.
Modernized artwork and item content.
Child-friendly manipulatives.
Ideal for measuring basic psychological processes in
problem-solving models like response to intervention
(RTI).

Scores are particularly useful


for the evaluation of extreme
performance levels.

in young children

Age: 2-5.11 years for


the Full Battery:
6-7.3 years for the
Abbreviated Battery

Admin: Individual

Time: Full Battery: 30-50

Pentium 200 MHz processor; 64 MB
RAM (96 MB recommended); CD-ROM
or DVD drive; 100 MB free hard disk
space; Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher

The Early SB5 provides a psychometrically sound


and cost-effective test of intelligence for use with
young children.
The Early SB5 generates a Full Scale IQ (FSIQ),
a Nonverbal IQ (NVIQ), a Verbal IQ (VIQ), an
Abbreviated Battery IQ (ABIQ), standard scores,
percentile ranks, Change-Sensitive Scores (CSSs),
and an Extended IQ (EXIQ). The newly developed
Test Observation Checklist identifies a range of
behaviors that may serve as flags for behavioral
or cognitive difficulties that may affect both the
examinees performance on the test and his or her
adaptation outside the testing situation. The 21
areas of behavior addressed in the checklist should
be followed up through further tailored assessment,
including observation, interview, or contact with
parents, guardians, or other caregivers.
Normative data were gathered from a sample of
1,800 individuals. The normative sample closely
matches the demographics of the 2000 U.S. Census
(education level based on 1999 data). Bias reviews
were conducted on all items for the following
variables: gender, ethnicity, culture, religion, region,
and socioeconomic status.
Reliabilities for the Early SB5 are very high for
scores across its age range: FSIQ (.97-.98), NVIQ

and VIQ (.94, .96), factor indexes (.90-.92), and


subtests (.81-.92). Concurrent and criterion validity
data were obtained using the SB IV, SM L-M, WJIII,
UNIT, Bender-Gestalt II, WPPSI-R, WAIT-II, and
WISC-III.
The SB5 can be hand scored or scored with optional
scoring software (SB5 ScoringPro). After you enter
the examinees background information, age, and
raw scores, the SB5 ScoringPro provides consistency in raw score conversion, an extended score
report, a graphical report, and a brief, narrative summary report with guidelines and suggestions based
on well-established principles of assessment. It also
produces a newly available Parent Report, which
includes a brief narrative description and graphic
representation of the percentile scores obtained by
the examinee across the five factor indexes.

Unique Growth Scores Measure Small but


Important Improvements in Individuals
With Significant Cognitive Deficits...
Leiter International Performance ScaleRevised (Leiter-R)
Gale H. Roid, PhD and Lucy J. Miller, PhD

The Leiter-R is a totally nonverbal test of intelligence


and cognitive abilities. It is easily administered
and quickly and objectively scored. Its game-like
administration holds a childs interest.
The Leiter-R consists of two nationally standardized
batteries: a revision of the original Visualization and
Reasoning (VR) domains for measuring IQ and the
new Attention and Memory (AM) domains. Both
batteries include unique growth scores that measure
small but important improvement in children with
significant cognitive disabilities.
Because the Leiter-R is nonverbal, it is especially
suitable for children and adolescents who are cognitively delayed; autistic; disadvantaged; nonverbal,
non-English speaking, or ESL; or speech-, hearing-,
or motor-impaired; or have ADHD or TBI.
Special Features of the Leiter-R
New Attention and Memory domains (AM battery)
accurately identify children with ADHD, learning
disabilities, or neuropsychological impairments.
Spans ages 2-20.11 years, exceeding that of CTONI,
TONI, and UNIT and completely covering the ranges
of WPPSI-R and WISC-III.
New growth scores for all domains enable
professionals to see the progression of improvement
across time, irrespective of age-based standard
scores.
Offers flexibility and fast screening.
IQ Screening Assessment in 25 minutes.
LD/ADHD Screening Assessment in 25 minutes.
Gifted Screening Assessment in 35 minutes.
Reasoning & Visual Battery in 40 minutes.
Attention & Memory in 35 minutes.
High correlation with traditional intelligence tests
Correlates .85 with the WISC-III Full Scale IQ and .85
with the original Leiter IQ Scale.
No cultural or language biasPsychometric studies
on Native American, Hispanic, and African American
groups show that the Leiter-R is exceptionally fair for
all cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

In addition to traditional IQ scores, the Leiter-R


provides scaled scores for each subtest to identify
specific strengths and weaknesses and percentile
and age equivalence scores that are easily
understood by parents and others with whom the test
results will be shared.
Four social-emotional rating scales (Examiner,
Parent, Self-Rating, and Teacher) provide essential

Test of Nonverbal Intelligence, Fourth Edition (TONI-4)


Linda Brown, PhD, Rita J. Sherbenou, PhD, and Susan K. Johnsen, PhD

Each test item was


reevaluated using both
item analytic techniques
and differential item
functioning analyses.
Purpose: Measure intelligence

Age: 6-89.11 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 15-20 minutes

Qualification Level: B
Note:
The Test of Nonverbal Intelligence, Third
Edition (TONI-3) is available for ordering
at www.parinc.com.

The TONI-4 is a practical, easy-to-use, normreferenced instrument that measures an individuals


intelligence. The administration and response format
are pragmatic, with simple oral instructions requiring
test takers to answer with simple but meaningful
gestures such as pointing, nodding, or blinking. This
test is ideal for those who have language, hearing, or motor impairments or are not familiar with
mainstream American culture.
The TONI-4 has two equivalent forms: Form A and
Form B. Each form consists of 60 items, all of which
are abstract/figural (i.e., void of pictures or cultural
symbols)thus, educational, cultural, or experiential
backgrounds will not adversely affect test results.
All items are arranged in easy-to-difficult order.
Each item contains one or more of the eight salient
characteristics: shape, position, direction, rotation,
contiguity, shading, size, and movement. Easier
items contain one or two characteristics, whereas
more difficult items contain several characteristics.
Both forms can also be used for research purposes
and periodic reevaluation.

Features
All new normative data were collected to ensure
proper representation of demographic changes in the
U.S. population. The normative sample consisted of
2,272 people residing in 33 states.
An analysis of potential bias in test items related to
gender, ethnicity, disability, and race is included.
Additional evidence of test reliability and validity
is offered for the entire normative sample and for
specific subgroups of the sample to account for
cognitive ability, race, ethnicity, and gender.
Floor effects have been eliminated.

Primary Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (PTONI)


David J. Ehrler and Ronnie L. McGhee

Directions are provided in eight


alternative languages, making the
PTONI ideal for administration to
non-English-speaking children.
Purpose: Assess reasoning
abilities in young
children

Age: 3-9.11 years

Admin: Individual

Time: 5-15 minutes

Qualification Level: B

206

Theoretically sound and research-based, the PTONI


assesses reasoning abilities in young children.
Psychologists, diagnosticians, special educators,
speech-language pathologists, and other professionals can use this test to identify both severe intellectual deficits and superior cognitive intelligence; to
help estimate future school success based on family
history, educational background, and personality
traits; and to study a wide range of researchable
topics and issues.
The PTONI was normed on a culturally and ethnically diverse demographic sample of 1,010 children
from a total of 38 states. It is unbiased, accurate,
and cost-efficient, and testing takes approximately 5
to 15 minutes. Minimal oral directions and a pointingresponse format make it one of the simplest and
most easily understood of all nonverbal intelligence
tests designed for young children.

Test components include an Examiners Manual, a


Picture Book with easel backing, and an Examiner/
Record Form. The test format requires a child to look
at a series of pictures on each page in the Picture
Book and to point to the one picture that does not
belong with the others. Items are arranged in order
of difficulty. A childs performance is recorded as a
standard score (i.e., the Nonverbal Index), a percentile rank, and an age equivalent. The nonverbal
format of the PTONI is especially appropriate for
testing children who have underdeveloped verbal
and/or motor skills. PTONI directions are provided in
eight alternative languages, making it an appropriate
assessment of intelligence for children from diverse
language backgrounds.

Comprehensive Test of Nonverbal Intelligence, 2nd Ed.


(CTONI-2)
Donald D. Hammill, EdD, Nils A. Pearson, PhD, and J. Lee Wiederholt, PhD

A popular norm-referenced test, the recently revised


CTONI-2 uses nonverbal formats to measure
general intelligence of children and adults whose
performance on traditional tests might be adversely
affected by subtle or overt impairments involving
language or motor abilities. The CTONI-2 measures
analogical reasoning, categorical classification, and
sequential reasoning using six subtests in two different contexts: (a) pictures of familiar objects (e.g.,
people, toys, animals) and (b) geometric designs
(i.e., unfamiliar sketches and drawings). The six subtests are Pictorial Analogies, Geometric Analogies,
Pictorial Categories, Geometric Categories, Pictorial
Sequences, and Geometric Sequences.
Results are reported as standard scores, percentile
ranks, and age equivalents. The test was normed
on a large (i.e., 2,827 individuals) representative
national sample that was stratified by age. Reliability
coefficients of the composite are mostly in the .90s,
with a few in the high .80s. The CTONI-2 correlates

with most well-known intelligence tests in the high


.70s. Considerable validity evidence is provided in
the Examiners Manual.
Special Features
The overall look of the test has been updated and
enhanced.
All new normative data were collected in 2007 and

Test of Early Mathematics Ability, 3rd Ed. (TEMA-3)


Herbert P. Ginsburg, PhD and Arthur J. Baroody, PhD

The TEMA-3 measures the mathematics performance of children between the ages of 3 years
and 8 years 11 months and is also useful with older
children who have learning problems in mathematics. It can be used as a norm-referenced measure
or as a diagnostic instrument to determine specific
strengths and weaknesses. The TEMA-3 can be
used to measure progress, evaluate programs,
screen for readiness, discover the basis for poor
school performance in mathematics, identify gifted
students, and guide instruction and remediation. The
test measures informal and formal (school-taught)
concepts and skills in the following domains: numbering skills, number-comparison facility, numeral
literacy, mastery of number facts, calculation skills,
and understanding of concepts. It has two parallel
forms, each containing 72 items.
Several important improvements were made in
the TEMA-3. A linear equating procedure is used
to adjust scores on the two test forms to allow the
examiner to use scores on Form A and B interchangeably. Bias studies are now included that show

the absence of bias based on gender and ethnicity.


In addition, the pictures of animals and money in the
Picture Book are now in color to make them more
appealing and more realistic in appearance.
The TEMA-3 Complete Kit includes a book of
remedial techniques (Assessment Probes and
Instructional Activities) for improving the skills in
the areas assessed by the test. Numerous teaching

BEHAVIOR / HEALTH

The EDDT Helps Identify Children Who Qualify for the


Special Education Category of Emotional Disturbance
Emotional Disturbance Decision Tree (EDDT)
Bryan L. Euler, PhD

The EDDT is the first instrument of its kind to provide a


standardized approach to the assessment of emotional
disturbance (ED). It encompasses all of the federal
criteria and addresses the broad emotional and behavioral nuances of children ages 5-18 years suspected of
requiring special education services for an ED. From
the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (2002) and the
reauthorization of IDEA (2004), the federal criteria are
challenging because they mandate that certain conditions be present in order to receive services, yet provide
no guidelines for assessing these conditions. Designed
by a working school psychologist, the EDDT includes
five sections that correlate with the specific components
of the federal criteria, enabling evaluators to work
through each criterionone by one.
Special Features of the EDDT
The EDDT addresses potential exclusionary items as
well as inclusionary items (i.e.,Emotional Disturbance
Characteristics). The Emotional Disturbance
Characteristic Scales consist of: Inability to Build
or Maintain Relationships, Inappropriate Behaviors
or Feelings, Pervasive Mood/Depression, Physical
Symptoms or Fears, and the EDDT Total Score. In
addition, screening items are included within two
clusters: the Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Cluster and the Possible Psychosis/Schizophrenia
Cluster.
Children who are socially maladjusted do not meet
the criteria for special education services for an
ED unless they are deemed to be both socially
maladjusted and emotionally disturbed. The EDDT
treats social maladjustment (SM) as a supplemental
trait and assesses it after ED characteristics have
been assessed.
The EDDT addresses the severity and educational
impact that emotional and behavioral problems
have on students via two clusters: the Level of
Severity Cluster and the Educational Impact Cluster.
These clusters also aid in the development of
recommendations and interventions.
Standardization, Reliability, and Validity

The EDDT standardization sample was composed


of 601 children ages 5-18 years that were matched
to the U.S. population for gender, race/ethnicity, and
geographic region. In addition, data were collected on a
sample of 404 children eligible for special education due
to an ED diagnosis.
Internal consistency was high (r = .94) for the EDDT
Total Score and ranged from .75 to .88 for the other
EDDTScales.
Test-retest stability was high (r = .92) for the EDDT Total
Score and ranged from .81 to .94 (interval of 1-44 days,
mean = 18 days).

Interrater reliability was good (r = .84) for the EDDT Total


Score (mean T-score change = 1.04).
Convergent validity was examined for the normative
sample using the Clinical Assessment of Behavior
(CAB) Teacher Form and the Behavior Assessment
System for Children Second Edition (BASC-2) Teacher
Form. These same forms were used to examine
convergent validity for a subgroup of the ED sample,
along with the CAB Parent Form and the Teacher Report
Form of the Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL).
Validity also was examined using six specific samples
of children who were representative of various special
education exceptionalitiesspecific learning disability,
speech/language impairment, mental retardation,
attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum
disorder, and social maladjustmentusing the following
measures:

Capture Information
About the Severity and
Frequency of Aggressive Acts
Instead of Just the Simple Presence or

Childrens Aggression Scale (CAS)


Jeffrey M. Halperin, PhD and Kathleen E. McKay, PhD

The Parent Rating Form and the


Teacher Rating Form enable you

as well as information regarding
the frequency and severity of
those aggressive acts.
Purpose: Evaluate frequency
and severity of child
and adolescent
aggression

Age: 5-18 years

Admin: Informant report;


Individual

Time: Approximately 10-15


minutes

Qualification Level: B or S

The CAS is a multi-informant (i.e.,Parent, Teacher)


rating scale designed to evaluate the setting-specific
frequency and severity of aggressive acts of children
and adolescents ages 5-18 years. Items describe
actual acts of aggression versus a wide variety
of behaviors that are associated with disruptive
behaviors, which, in turn, facilitates the establishment of treatment planning and treatment monitoring. In addition, CAS items are weighted differentially
depending on the severity of the act, with more
severe acts of aggression weighted more heavily
than less severe acts of aggression.
The CAS was standardized on a community sample
of 438 parents and 516 teachers of children ages
5-18 years that was well-matched to U.S. population
parameters for age and gender. In addition to the
community sample, data were collected on a clinical
sample of 247 parents and 252 teachers of children
who had been diagnosed with one or more of the
following: (a) ADHD, (b) oppositional defiant disorder
(ODD), (c) conduct disorder (CD), and (d) social
maladjustment (SM). Community and clinical norms
are provided for both the Parent and the Teacher
Rating Forms.
Reliability and Validity
Internal consistency coefficients for the scales and
Total Aggression Index of the CAS-Parent ranged

from .60 to .83 and .58 to .92 for the community


sample and clinical sample, respectively. Similar
results were obtained for the scales and Total
Aggression Index of the CAS-Teacher community
sample and the clinical sample, with alpha coefficients
ranging from .58 to .89 and .72 to .94, respectively.
Test-retest stability for the CAS scales, clusters, and
index ranged from .69 to .99 and .84 to .99 for the
Parent Form and the Teacher Form, respectively.
Good interrater reliability coefficients were obtained,
with median reliabilities of .87 and .97 for the ParentParent and the Parent-Teacher samples, respectively.
Validity for the CAS was examined in terms of
intercorrelations among the scales and clusters,

Identify the Symptoms


Associated With Severe
Emotional Dysregulation
Specifically, Early Onset
Bipolar Disorder
Pediatric Behavior Rating Scale (PBRS)
Richard M. Marshall, PhD and Berney J. Wilkinson, PhD

Appropriate for use with children and adolescents


ages 3-18 years, the PBRS is a standardized,
norm-referenced parent and teacher rating scale that
assists in the identification of symptoms associated
with severe emotional disturbancesspecifically,
early onset bipolar disorder. The instrument also
aids in identifying comorbid disorders as well as in
differentiating disorders that have similar symptoms
and behavioral characteristics. Rather than rendering
a clinical diagnosis, the PBRS focuses on symptom
identification and analysis of items and profiles.
Standardization, Reliability, and Validity

The PBRS normative sample was composed of


541 parents and 610 teachers of children ages 3-18
years and was well-matched to the U.S. population
for age and gender. In addition to the normative
sample, data were collected on a combined clinical
sample of 224 parents and 194 teachers of children

who had been diagnosed with one or more of the


following: (a) bipolar disorder, (b) ADHD, (c) opposi
tional defiant disorder, (d) conduct disorder, and
(e)pervasive developmental disorder.

The ABAS-II retains all of the features of the first edition of the ABAS, including an assessment of overall
adaptive functioning using the General Adaptive
Composite (GAC) and an assessment of the
10adaptive skill areas specified by the DSMIV-TR.
New features include:
Parent/Primary Caregiver and Teacher/Daycare
Provider rating forms for infants to preschool-aged
children.
Normative data for children ages birth-5 years.
An expanded structure that incorporates the current
American Association of Mental Retardation (AAMR)
guidelines for the diagnosis of mental retardation by
grouping the 10 skill areas of the original ABAS into
the three broad domains (i.e.,Conceptual, Social,
Practical) emphasized by the AAMR.
The ABAS-II Offers Five Rating Forms

The multidimensional ABAS-II offers five different


rating forms that can be used in combination with one
another or separately. Each rating form comprises 193
to 241 items and can be completed independently by
a respondent in about 20 minutes. On the rating forms,
respondents are asked to indicate how frequently the
assessed individual is able to independently perform a
particular activity.
Scoring and Reporting

The ABAS-II offers two electronic scoring options:


The ABAS-II Scoring Assistant eliminates the need
to manually score the ABAS-II. It produces a technical
report with composite scores, provides analyses of skill
area strengths and weaknesses and composite score
discrepancies, and plots skill area and composite score
profiles.
The ABAS-II Scoring Assistant and Intervention
Planner enables you to identify the appropriate
interventions and to monitor progress for Infant and
Preschool Forms and for School Forms. This software
will help you develop (a) an Interpretive Report
narrative based on all scores, strengths and needs

adaptive functioning if WPPSIIII or WISCIV Full
Scale IQ is entered for individuals ages 2-16 years;
(c) item-level interventions for items chosen by you for
individuals ages birth-21 years; (d) a Progress Monitoring
Report comparing raw and scaled scores for up to four
assessments for individuals ages birth-21 years; and
(e) a Respondent Report (for Parent/Primary Caregiver
Forms or Teacher/Daycare Provider Forms) providing an
easy-to-understand description and graph of the childs
adaptive functioning based on his or her scores for
individuals ages birth-21 years.

Behavioral Summary
David Lachar, PhD and Christian P. Gruber, PhD

The Behavioral Summary evaluates children and


teens for behavior and adjustment problems. A
Parent Report, a Teacher Report, and a Student
Report together reveal the specific nature of student
difficulties and point toward effective intervention.
Although each form is administered separately and
can be used independently, it is strongly recommended that both Parent and Teacher Reports be
used for younger children and that all three reports
be used for students older than 9 years.
Completed in less than 15 minutes, the Parent
and Student Reports are parallel in content, each
composed of 96 true-or-false items covering eight
Adjustment scales (Impulsivity and Distractibility,
Defiance, Family Problems, Atypical Behavior,
Somatic Concern, Emotional Problems, Social
Withdrawal, and Social Skill Deficits). Two validity
scalesInconsistency and Exaggerationalert you
to conflicting responses and overstated problems. In
addition, three Composite scores and a Total score
are available for the Parent and Student Forms.
The Teacher Report focuses on behavior that can
be observed at school, with 11 scales that address
Academic Resources and Adjustment Problems
(Academic Performance, Academic Habits, Social
Skills, Parent Participation, Health Concerns,
Emotional Distress, Unusual Behavior, Social
Problems, Verbal Aggression, Physical Aggression,
and Behavior Problems) and 3 that measure
Disruptive Behavior (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity,

Oppositional Defiant, and Conduct Problems). The


Teacher Report includes 102 items that are rated
on a 4- to 5-point response scale. Although this
response format minimizes the likelihood of extreme
item endorsement, the Teacher Report also includes
a validity scale that measures exaggeration.
Easy Hand or Computer Scoring

Convenient AutoScore Forms for the Parent,


Student, and Teacher Reports include test items,
scoring instructions, and profile forms, and can be
hand scored in only 5 minutes. Or you may use the
unlimited-use computer scoring CD, which produces
quick results and enables you to compare reports
from various respondents or the same respondent at
two different administrations. T scores are generated
for all scales.

All three forms are written


at a 4th-grade reading level.
Purpose: Gather information
from multiple sources

Firestone Assessment of Self-Destructive Thoughts (FAST)


and Firestone Assessment of Suicide Intent (FASI)
Robert W. Firestone, PhD and Lisa A. Firestone, PhD

The FAST is an 84-item self-report measure


designed to capture symptoms that are characteristic of suicidal individuals including hopelessness, depression, anxiety, and suicide ideation. In
addition, the FAST is a measure of a broad range of
self-destructive behavior patterns. It is organized into
11 levels of self-destructive thoughts (e.g.,Level 1
Self-Depreciation, Level 11Suicide Injunctions).
The FASI is a subset/brief version of the FAST. It
consists of 27 items taken directly from Levels 7-11
of the FAST. These are the items that best predict
suicide risk.
The measure incorporates a unique approach.
The client is asked to endorse how frequently he
or she is experiencing self-critical/self-depreciating
thoughts in the form of an internal dialogue or voice
(i.e.,negative thoughts directed toward oneself).
When items are presented in this form, they often

bring to light elements of a self-destructive process


that have been partially or completely unconscious.
For both the FAST and FASI, the scale raw scores
are summed and normative scores are provided
in the form of T scores and percentiles. The FAST
contains five composite scores: Self-Defeating,
Addictions, Self-Annihilating, Suicide Intent, and
Total Score.

Helps bring out the elements


of a self-destructive process
that have been partially or
completely unconscious.

Firestone Assessment of Violent Thoughts (FAVT)


Robert W. Firestone, PhD and Lisa A. Firestone, PhD

The FAVT is designed to be a brief, efficient indicator


of an individuals violence potential. Designed on
the basic hypothesis that an individuals thought
process strongly influences his or her behavior, this
self-report assessment tool measures different types
of thoughts that have been found to predispose
an individual to violent behavior. It is valuable for
helping clinicians to make decisions regarding safety
and for separating violent individuals from prospecSound theoretical basis enables the tive targets.
FAVT to be integrated into many
therapeutic approaches, including
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT),
psychodynamic/psychoanalytic
therapy, Separation Theory, Voice
Therapy, and biological theory and
psychopharmacological treatment.

Purpose: Assess the


underlying thoughts
that predispose
violent behavior

Age: 18-75 years

Admin: Self-report; Individual


Time: 15 minutes

Qualification Level: B

Test items were taken directly from thoughts


experienced by violent individuals prior to engaging in
violent behavior. Because violent individuals are able
to recognize the exact content of their thoughts in the
items, the FAVT taps directly into the cognitions of
violent individuals.
FAVT items are organized into five Levels
(i.e.,Paranoid/Suspicious, Persecuted Misfit,
Self-Depreciating/Pseudo-Independent, Overtly
Aggressive, Self-Aggrandizing) and two Theoretical
Subscales (i.e.,Instrumental/Proactive Violence,
Hostile/Reactive Violence), which allow a better
understanding of the individual in order to offer more
targeted treatment.
In addition, demographic and FAVT data on
two reference groups (i.e.,Incarcerated, Anger
Management) also were collected as part of the
standardization process. These data provide

you with valuable information for making levelofcare/restriction decisions and for identifying the
appropriate intervention intensity.
Change score tables are provided across four
different levels of significance for four normative
groups and for the reference groups so that you can
easily find out if a significant change has occurred in
an individuals FAVT score over two administrations.

The FAVT is ideal for use (a) as a screening device


of violence potential within normal, clinical, and
forensic settings; (b) as a threat assessment measure; (c) in the identification of violent thoughts and
subsequent clinical intervention; and (d) in tracking
changes in behavior over time and in response
to intervention (RTI). The FAVT is directly tied to
treatment because the thoughts endorsed are those
that need to be addressed in treatment. In whatever
modality you are working, you have an opportunity
to deal directly with the thoughts that are driving
your clients violent behavior.

Admin: Self-report; Individual


Time: 15 minutes

Qualification Level: B

214

The FAVT-A is designed to be a brief, efficient


indicator of an individuals violence potential. Based
on the adult version of the FAVT, this 35-item
self-report assesses the underlying thoughts that
predispose violent behavior in individuals ages 11-18
years. It can help you screen for violence potential,
determine whether or not a verbal threat will lead to
a violent act, plan clinical intervention, and monitor
progress and outcomes.
The items on the FAVT-A are derived directly from
clinical material gathered from violent individuals.
The items represent thoughts these individuals
experienced prior to committing violent acts. Because
violent adolescents are able to recognize the exact
content of their thoughts in the items, the FAVT-A taps
directly into the cognitions of violent adolescents.
FAVT-A items are organized into four Levels
(i.e.,Paranoid/Suspicious, Persecuted Misfit,
Self-Depreciating/Pseudo-Independent, Overtly
Aggressive) and two Theoretical Subscales
(i.e.,Instrumental/Proactive Violence, Hostile/
Reactive Violence). This structure enables you to gain
a better understanding of the individual and, thus, to
offer more targeted treatment.

Change score tables are provided across four


different levels of significance for the four normative
groups and for the two reference groups so that
clinicians can easily find out if a significant change
has occurred in an individuals FAVT-A score over two
administrations.

The FAVT-A provides you with direct information


about the content and intensity of thoughts the
adolescent is experiencing along with a clear
picture of the adolescents perceptions of himself or
herself, of others, and of his or her social world. Its
sound theoretical basis enables it to be integrated
into many therapeutic approaches, including

Classification of Violence Risk (COVR)


John Monahan, PhD, Henry J. Steadman, PhD, Paul S. Appelbaum, MD, Thomas Grisso, PhD, Edward P. Mulvey, PhD,
Loren H. Roth, MD, MPH, Pamela Clark Robbins, BA, Steven Banks, PhD, and Eric Silver, PhD

Designed to estimate the risk of an acute civil psychiatric patient becoming violent to others over the
several months after discharge into the community,
the COVR is an interactive software program. The
program guides the evaluator through a brief chart
review and a 10-minute interview with the patient. It
then generates a report that contains a statistically
valid estimate of the patients violence risk, including
the confidence interval for that estimate and a list of
the questions used to produce the estimate.
Based on a classification tree methodone that
prioritizes an interactive and contingent model of
violence that allows many different combinations of
risk factors to classify an individual at a given level of
riskeach COVR assessment is individualized. The
particular questions asked depend on answers given
to prior questions. This approach contrasts with a
regression approach, in which a common set of
questions is asked of everyone being assessed and
every answer is weighted to produce a score that
can be used for purposes of categorization.
The program was designed to be administered to
inpatients ages 18-60 years from a wide variety of

racial/ethnic backgrounds, psychiatric diagnoses,


and regions of the U.S.
Development and Standardization

Because a number of variables might be potential


risk factors for violence among people with a mental
disorder, the authors assessed personal factors
(e.g., demographic and personality variables),
historical factors (e.g., past violence, mental hospitalizations), contextual factors (e.g., social support,
social networks), and clinical factors (e.g., diagnosis,
specific symptoms). Patients in acute psychiatric
facilities (N = 1,136) were assessed on 106 potential
risk factors for violent behavior and were followed for
20 weeks in the community after discharge from the
hospital.

Psychosocial Evaluation & Threat Risk Assessment (PETRA)


Jay Schneller, PhD

Following a threat of violence, the PETRA enables


you to analyze the context of psychosocial,
ecological, and coping/resiliency factors to assist
in the identification, assessment, intervention and
treatment planning, and behavioral management of
adolescents who pose a risk of targeted violence
toward others. This 60-item self-report instrument is
designed for use with adolescents ages 11-18 years
who exhibit threatening behavior, primarily in school.
Critical Items identify known threat risk factors.
The PETRA provides four domain scores (i.e.,
Psychosocial, Resiliency Problems, Ecological,
Total), eight cluster scores (i.e., Depressed Mood,
Alienation, Egocentricism, Aggression, Family/
Home, School, Stress, Coping Problems), two
Response Style Indicators (i.e., Inconsistency,
Social Desirability), and eight Critical Items. The
PETRA Threat Assessment Matrix is used to help
you classify the content of a threat as low, medium,
or high risk based on the information gleaned from
the threat itself.

Conversion tables for the domains, clusters, and


Response Style Indicators are grouped by age and
gender in the appendix of the Professional Manual
to allow you to obtain T scores, percentiles, and 90%
confidence intervals from an individuals raw scores.
Interpretation of the PETRA is straightforward
and incorporates a thorough five-step systematic
methodology for gathering, guiding, and interpreting
multisource data. Evaluation results should be considered in light of other data, including background
information, information from other informants, and
information gathered from follow-up interviews.

Adolescent & Child Urgent Threat Evaluation (ACUTE)


Russell Copelan, MD and David Ashley

In cases where a violent act


already has been committed, the
ACUTEcan be administered at
intervals throughout treatment to
determine the levels of risk and
evaluate the course of treatment.
Purpose: Assess risk of
violence (both
homicidal and
suicidal) among
children and
adolescents

Age: 8-18 years

Admin: Completed by
examiner

Time: 10-20 minutes

Qualification Level: B or S

The ACUTE is a 27-item structured assessment


that is based on information obtained through
various sources including, but not limited to, patient
interview, chart review (e.g.,medical, school), and
family interview. The ACUTE is designed to assist
in the evaluation of a childs or an adolescents
actual, attempted, or threatened act to harm him- or
herself or others. More specifically, the ACUTE was
designed to assist in determining the associated
level of risk for near-future violence (e.g.,hours
to days).
The measure provides you with an overall Threat
Classification (i.e.,Extreme Clinical risk factors, High
Clinical risk factors, Moderate Clinical risk factors,
Low Clinical risk factors) as well as additional
cluster scores including Precipitating Factors, Early
Precipitating Factors, Late Precipitating Factors,
Predisposing Factors, Impulsivity, and the ACUTE
Total score.
The standardization sample for the ACUTE included
542 children and adolescents ages 8-18 years. This
sample consisted of four study groups: (a) NonThreat, (b) Suicide Threat, (c) Homicide Threat, and
(d) Homicide-Suicide Threat.
Applications of the ACUTE
In cases where a violent act already has been
committed, the ACUTE can be administered at

intervals throughout treatment to determine the levels


of risk and evaluate the course of treatment.
Within school settings, the ACUTE can be a part
of a threat assessment by school psychologists,
counselors, teachers, and/or threat assessment
teams.
In emergency settings, the ACUTE can be utilized by
psychologists, physicians, nurses, and social workers
to quickly identify high-risk situations.
In outpatient care settings, the ACUTE can be used
as a tracking tool to help determine risk levels in
association with treatment plans, patient settings, and
social and family situations.
The ACUTE is particularly useful for improving
diagnosis and treatment of unusual side effects in
young patients receiving selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant medication.
The ACUTE assists clinicians, counselors, social
workers, and educators in understanding the
predisposing and precipitating factors, as well as
other factors that relate to the detection, well-being,
and treatment of violent or potentially violent youth.
The ACUTE helps assess transitions from inpatient
to outpatient care following hospital discharge or
following an adverse drug reaction.

BEHAVIOR / HEALTH

Quickly and Accurately Identify


Problems in Parent/Child Relationships
Parenting Stress Index (PSI), 3rd Edition
Richard R. Abidin, EdD

The PSI was developed on the theory that the total


stress a parent experiences is a function of certain
salient child characteristics, parent characteristics,
and situations that are directly related to the role
of being a parent. The PSI identifies dysfunctional
parenting and predicts the potential for parental
behavior problems and child adjustment difficulties
within the family system. Although it focuses on the
preschool-aged child, the PSI can be used with parents whose children are 12 years of age or younger.
The PSI is well-suited for use in primary health care
and pediatric practices, as well as in other settings
and programs that serve at-risk children and families
or that provide early childhood educational and
developmental experiences.
The PSI consists of 120 items and takes less than
30 minutes for the parent to complete. It yields
a Total Stress Score, plus scale scores for both
Child and Parent Characteristics, which pinpoint
sources of stress within the family. It also is helpful in
planning intervention and treatment, assessing child
abuse, and completing forensic evaluations for child
custody.
The PSI has been empirically validated to predict
observed parenting behavior and childrens current

and future behavioral and emotional adjustment, not


only in a variety of U.S. populations but in a variety
of international populations. The PSI was normed on
more than 2,500 parents. Research has demonstrated that the PSI maintains its validity with diverse
non-English-speaking cultures.

Parenting Stress Index Short Form (PSI/SF)


Richard R. Abidin, EdD

The PSI Short Form (PSI/SF) is a direct derivative of the Parenting Stress Index (PSI)full-length test. All
36 items on the Short Form are contained on the Long Form with identical wording and are written at a
5thgrade reading level. The PSI/SF yields a Total Stress score from three scales: Parental Distress, ParentChild Dysfunctional Interaction, and Difficult Child.
The PSI/SF was developed at the request of clinicians and researchers who regularly use the full-length PSI
and indicated the need for a valid measure administered in less than 10 minutes. It is ideal for clinicians who
work in a variety of primary health care settings and have a limited time available to patients, targeting those
families most in need of follow-up services. It also is valuable for use in schools and mental health clinics
where the parent-child dyad is not the primary focus of the assessment.

Ideal for clinicians with limited


time, the PSI/SF targets families
most in need of follow-up care.

Quickly Assess Problem Areas in


the Parent-Adolescent Relationship
Parent Adolescent Relationship Questionnaire (PARQ)
Arthur Robin, PhD, Thomas Koepke, PhD, and Anne Moye, PhD
Professional Manual by Arthur Robin, PhD, Thomas Koepke, PhD, Anne Moye, PhD, and
Rebecca Gerhardstein, PhD

The PARQ examines the relationships between


adolescents and parents and enables you to plan
effective treatments through an understanding of
the multifaceted adolescent-parent relationship.
Based in behavioral family systems therapy (BFST),
the PARQ can help you improve the relationship
between adolescents and their parents by inspecting views that fall into the following domains: Overt
Conflict/Skill Deficits, Beliefs, and Family Structure.
Clinicians then can emphasize problem-solving
and communication skills, cognitive restructuring
of extreme beliefs and distorted thinking, and/or
specific problems in family functioning, depending
on the interventions that are most needed.
In addition, the effectiveness of individual and family
interventions can be measured by periodically
readministering the PARQ to determine whether
significant change has occurred. The PARQ also can
be used as an outcome measure in treatment effectiveness research as well as a process measure
in family interaction, adolescent development, and
theoretical research.
Separate forms for adolescents and parents are
written at a 5th-grade reading level and in the first
person to elicit current thoughts.
Two validity scales and 12 clinical scales assess the
parent-adolescent relationship in detail unmatched by
other, similar assessments.

Scales assess global distress and conflict in the


realms of communication, problem solving, school,
siblings, and eating behavior. Scales also assess
various maladaptive beliefs including autonomy,
ruination, unfairness, perfectionism, and malicious
intent. Finally, scales assess family structure and
functioning including cohesion, coalitions (sidetaking), and triangulation (putting family members in
the middle of conflict).
T scores, percentile ranges, and reliable change
scores are provided separately for adolescents,
mothers, and fathers.
Average profiles are included for ADHD, ODD,
anxiety, depression, eating disorder, and spina bifida
clinical groups.

Enables you to get a


well-rounded picture of complex
parent-adolescent relationships.

Age: 5-18.11 years

Admin: Self- and informant


report

Time: Approximately
10 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The BERS-2 is a measure of personal strengths and


competencies of children ages 5-18.11 years. Three
perspectives can be measured: the childs self-report
(Youth Rating Scale), a parents observational report
(Parent Rating Scale), and the observations of thirdparty observers such as a teacher or other professional
(Teacher Rating Scale). The BERS-2 examines several
aspects of a childs strengths, such as interpersonal
strengths, functioning in and at school, affective
strength, intrapersonal strength, family involvement,
and career strength. The BERS-2 can be used to
identify children with limited behavioral and emotional
strengths, identify a childs strengths and weaknesses
for intervention, target goals for IEPs and/or treatment
plans, document progress, and help collect data for
research purposes.
The types of scores generated by the BERS-2 are raw
scores, percentile ranks, subscale scaled scores, and
the BERS-2 Strength Index (i.e.,overall score). Four
sets of normative data are provided for the BERS-2
two sets for the Teacher Rating Scale (one for children
identified with emotional and behavioral disorders;
one for children not identified as having emotional and
behavioral disorders), and one set each for the Youth
Rating Scale and the Parent Rating Scale.

Designed to be used in school settings, mental health


clinics, juvenile justice settings, and child welfare agencies, the BERS-2 has been widely adopted by local,
state, and federal agencies for the evaluation of services
outcomes.
Reliability and Validity

Test-retest reliability was excellent for all three forms.


Teacher Rating Scale Composite Strength Index
(r = .99), with subscale rs ranging from .85 to .99.
Parent Rating Scale Composite Strength Index
(r = .87), with subscale rs ranging from .82 to .92.
Youth Rating Scale Composite Strength Index
(r = .91), with subscale rs ranging from .84 to .91.

Content validity, criterion validity, and construct validity


all were examined and provide evidence that the
BERS-2 is a valid measure of behavioral and emotional
strength.

Parenting Alliance Measure (PAM)


Richard R. Abidin, EdD and Timothy R. Konold, PhD

With the most recent studies showing that parents,


not peers, exert the most influence with children, its
more important than ever to be able to evaluate the
parental relationship. The PAM assesses the parenting aspects of a couples relationship. The PAM
provides you with the parents perspective of how
cooperative, communicative, and mutually respectful
they are with regard to caring for their child(ren).
It is appropriate for a variety of parenting partners
(married, divorced, unmarried, and more).
The PAM is a useful screening and diagnostic instrument for family counseling, joint custody evaluations,
identification of dysfunctional parenting skills, and
assessing the impact of intervention.

Measure contains 20 items; 3rd-grade reading level.


Raw score to percentile and T-score conversion.
Separate norms available for fathers and mothers.
Standardized on 1,224 parents of children from
the general population and a clinical sample of
272parents of children diagnosed with ADHD, CD,

Marital Satisfaction Inventory, Revised (MSI-R)


Douglas K. Snyder, PhD

The revised edition of the Marital Satisfaction


Inventory (MSI) assesses the nature and extent
of conflict within a marriage or relationship. It is
an excellent tool to use at the beginning of marital
therapy to guide subsequent treatment because
it helps couples communicate hard-to-express
feelings, thereby providing an easy, economical way
to gather information about a broad range of issues.
The MSI-R helps you identify relationship issues that
may be contributing to individual or family problems:
depression, substance abuse, and trouble with
children or adolescents. It also is useful for premarital counseling and for use with separated couples
attempting reconciliation.
Contains 150 true-or-false items (129 items if the
couple has no children).
Scores for both partners can be plotted on a single
profile (AutoScore Answer Form).

Two additional scales indicate inconsistency and


a tendency to respond in an unrealistically positive
manner, giving you a quick, graphic comparison of
the two sets of scores.
The profile highlights the primary concerns of

Coping Responses Inventory (CRI)


Rudolf H. Moos, PhD

The three CRIKits now include


the new Manual Supplement.
Purpose: Identify and monitor
coping strategies

Age: CRI-Adult: 18 years


and older; CRI-Youth:
12-18 years

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 10-15 minutes

Qualification Level: B
Note:
Annotated bibliography is available
at www.parinc.com.

The CRI is useful in counseling, stress management


education, and other settings to identify and monitor
coping strategies in adults and adolescents, to develop
better clinical case descriptions, and to plan and
evaluate the outcome of treatment. This brief self-report
inventory identifies cognitive and behavioral responses
the individual used to cope with a recent problem or
stressful situation. The eight scales include Approach
Coping Styles (Logical Analysis, Positive Reappraisal,
Seeking Guidance and Support, and Problem Solving)
and Avoidant Coping Styles (Cognitive Avoidance,
Acceptance or Resignation, Seeking Alternative
Rewards, and Emotional Discharge).
Two separate versions of the CRI have been developed,
the CRIAdult (older than 18 years of age) and the
CRIYouth (ages 12-18 years). Each version has its own
manual and an Ideal and an Actual Form. The Ideal Form
may be used to compare actual and preferred coping
styles, to set treatment goals, and to monitor progress.
The Actual Form surveys the individuals actual coping
behavior, whereas the Ideal Form surveys preferred
coping styles. Both forms are written at a 6th-grade
reading level.
The Manual Supplement includes a review of studies that have utilized the CRI to examine coping and
wellbeing in children, adolescents, and adults. With
its extensive reference list, the Manual Supplement
is an excellent resource for clinicians and for

researchers involved in teaching, research, and/or


grant writing.

Revised Behavior Problem Checklist (RBPC)PAR Edition


Herbert C. Quay, PhD and Donald R. Peterson, PhD

The RBPC is used to rate problem behaviors


observed in adolescents and young children. The
six RBPC subscales measure Conduct Disorder,
Socialized Aggression, Attention ProblemsImmaturity, Anxiety-Withdrawal, Psychotic Behavior,
and Motor Tension-Excess. It is designed for use
in conjunction with other measures as part of an
overall assessment of the individual.
The RBPC has been used for a wide variety of
purposes: to screen for behavioral disorders in
schools, as an aid in clinical diagnosis, to measure
behavioral change associated with psychological or
pharmacological interventions, as part of a battery to
classify juvenile offenders, and to select participants
for research on behavior disorders in children and
adolescents.

Attention Problems-ImmaturityItems focus


on symptoms associated with ADD, including
short attention span, diminished concentration,
distractibility, and impulsivity, as well as the social and
interpersonal correlates of ADD, including passivity,
undependability, and childishness.
Anxiety-WithdrawalItems measure the behavioral

Childrens Academic Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (CAIMI)


Adele E. Gottfried, PhD

For students with academic difficulties, the CAIMI


is an excellent resource for differentiating motivation from achievement and ability factors. It is a
valuable part of a psychodiagnostic battery for
evaluating academic failure or delay. Clinical case
examples employing the CAIMI are presented in the
Interpretation section of the Manual.
You can use the information derived from the CAIMI
for counseling students with regard to academic
interests and course selection, in instructional
planning to stimulate motivation in weak areas and
continue to facilitate intrinsic motivation in strong
areas, in providing individualized program planning,

and in program and educational evaluation by


schools and school districts.
The 44 CAIMI questions comprise 122 items in five
scales: Reading, Math, Social Studies, Science,
and General. Results can be reported as T scores
or percentiles, and the Profile Form allows a visual
comparison of motivational strengths across scales.

School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory (SMALSI)


Kathy Stroud, PhD and Cecil Reynolds, PhD

Unlike many other learning measures, the SMALSI


does not assess learning styles, preferences, or
other process dimensions. Instead, it assesses
the actual strategies students use in learning and
test-takingstrategies shown through research to
be related to academic success.
Designed for both special and general education
students, this self-report inventory assesses 10
primary constructs associated with academic motivation, learning strategies, and studies7 focusing
on student strengths and 3 focusing on student
liabilities. Scores from the SMALSI scales provide
enough information to identify problems that interfere
with academic development. An Inconsistent
Responding Index is included as a validity measure.
The SMALSI is available in two forms. The Child
Form (147 items) is appropriate for students ages
8-12 years; the Teen Form (170 items) is appropriate for students ages 13-18 years. Both forms are
written at a 3rd-grade reading level and can be
completed in about 20-30 minutes. Both forms use
a four-point response scale, ranging from Never to
Almost Always.
Scored by hand or computer, the SMALSI provides
multiple scores, rather than one overall score.
The SMALSI was standardized on a sample of

2,921students (1,821 aged 8-12 years for the Child


Form and 1,100 aged 13-18 years for the Teen
Form). The sample reflects the U.S. population in
terms of gender, ethnicity, and parental education.
The SMALSI is a quick, cost-effective way to identify
students who may have ineffective or poorly developed learning strategies, low levels of academic
motivation, attention and concentration problems,
difficulties with test-taking, or test anxiety. It can be
used for screening in regular education, pre-referral
intervention, and for assessing students with learning disabilities, emotional disturbance, or ADHD.

Clinical Assessment of Interpersonal Relationships (CAIR)


Bruce A. Bracken, PhD

The CAIR helps you to measure the perceptions


of youths ages 9 to 19years (i.e.,Grades 5 to 12)
regarding the quality of their relationships with the
most important individuals of their livesmother,
father, male and female peers, and teachers in
three primary contexts (i.e.,Social, Family,
Academic). Based on Dr. Brackens multidimensional, context-dependent model of adjustment,
the CAIR helps with the early identification and
remediation of a youths relationship difficulties
and assists with the identification of emotional
disturbance by assessing the quality of the youths
primary relationships.
CAIR items reflect the 15 specific aspects of
relationships that are commonly reported in the
literature, thereby helping you to identify the specific
relationship qualities that may be deficient and that
may require intervention. All 35 items appear on
each of five scales (i.e.,Mother, Father, Male Peers,

Female Peers, Teachers). All or a select number of


scales may be administered.
Standardization, Reliability, and Validity

The CAIRs normative sample was composed of


2,501 children ages 9 to 19 years enrolled in Grades
5 to 12. The instrument demonstrates exceptional
technical adequacy, with reliabilities well above .90
for each of the five scales as well as for the Total
Relationship Index (TRI). Each scale demonstrates
internal consistency estimates that exceed .90
across all ages and both genders.

various clinical groups, including conduct/disruptive


behavioral disorders, cognitive dysfunction, and
ADD/ADHD.

The CAB is an objective, comprehensive, and


highly reliable behavior rating scale that is closely
aligned with current diagnostic criteria found in the
DSM-IV-TR and IDEA. Standardized on a large
representative national sample, the CAB assists in
the identification of children and adolescents across
a wide age range who are in need of behavioral,
educational, or psychiatric treatment or intervention
and enables professionals to identify behaviors
associated with educationally relevant exceptionalities. In addition, the CAB assesses behaviors that
reflect current societal concerns and issues about
youth and their behavior (e.g.,bullying, aggression,
executive function, gifted and talented). Its balanced
theoretical framework of both competence-based
qualities and problem-based concerns for the CAB
scales and clusters makes it useful for evaluating
adaptive strengths and clinical risks in children and
adolescents.

Free CAB Scoring Program (CAB-SP) Is


Included With the CAB Introductory Kit

The unlimited-use CAB-SP calculates raw scores,


Tscores, and percentiles for all scales and clusters.
After paper-and-pencil administration, the parents and/
or teachers responses are entered manually into the
program. The software generates a complete Score
Report and profile for each of the three CAB forms.
Scales for Differentiating Emotional
Disturbance From Social Maladjustment

Provides three separate Rating Forms: Parent


Extended (CAB-PX), with 170 items; Parent (CAB-P),
with 70 items; and Teacher (CAB-T), with 70 items.
Parent and Teacher Rating Forms contain
corresponding items, allowing both parents and
teachers to contribute equally to the evaluation of
target behaviors.
Requires only an 8th-grade reading level for
completion.
Normative data include 2,114 parent ratings and
1,689 teacher ratings.

Because scale and cluster internal consistency


(a)coefficients are .88 and higher across the three
CAB forms, you can expect to use the CAB with
confidence to help you make important diagnostic or
intervention decisions. Scale and cluster reliabilities
also were consistently high across age level, gender,
and race/ethnicity. Test-retest reliability coefficients
across the three CAB forms ranged from .77 to .95
with a mean test-retest interval of 17.6 to 19.3 days.
Scales and clusters on all CAB forms demonstrate
good evidence of validity based on test content;
factor analytic studies; convergent and discriminant
evidence; and concurrent validity studies across

Because emotional disturbance is viewed as an


educationally related disorder, IDEA (1997) requires
treatment for students who have it. IDEA further
requires that emotional disturbance be differentiated
from social maladjustment, which is not considered to be an educationally related disorder and,
therefore, requires no mandated services under
the law. Two CAB scales, Emotional Disturbance
(ED) and Social Maladjustment (SM), can be used
to help differentiate these conditions for students
ages 2 to 18 years (i.e.,Grades Pre-K through 12).
The Professional Manual addresses these scales
with a case example, discussion of interpretation,
and, to further differentiate ED and SM, discrepancy
score tables for each of the CAB forms. The CAB-SP
provides T scores for both scales by age and
gender; each scale can be considered in light of its
respective qualitative classifications.

Clinical Assessment of Attention DeficitAdult (CAT-A)


Bruce A. Bracken, PhD and Barbara S. Boatwright, PhD

The CAT-A is a 108-item self-report instrument that


is comprehensive, highly reliable, and sensitive to
the symptomatology of attentional deficits both with
and without hyperactivity for adults.
The CAT-A consists of two parts: Part 1 (i.e.,
Childhood Memories) assesses the individuals
memories of his/her behaviors and sensations as a
child; and Part 2 (i.e.,Current Symptoms) assesses
parallel issues in adulthood. Clinical Index scores
are provided for both parts separately and for the
summation of the parts. In addition, three validity
scalesNegative Impression, Infrequency, and
Positive Impressionare embedded within the
instrument.
Special Features of the CAT-A
Consists of a self-report form that is appropriate for
individuals ages 19-79 years.
Thorough and complete score reporting system
includes standard scores (T scores), percentile ranks,
confidence intervals, qualitative classifications, and
graphical profile displays.

Linkage to DSM-IV diagnostic criteria with


comprehensive content coverage both within and
across scales/clusters assists in rendering differential
diagnoses.
Context clusters indicate contexts in which ADD/
ADHD symptoms are most problematic, whereas
Locus clusters indicate the extent to which ADD/
ADHD symptoms are experienced internally as
sensations compared to experienced as symptoms
that are acted out upon as overt behaviors.
Rating Form can be hand scored or item responses
can be hand entered into the CAT Software Portfolio
(CAT-SP).

Clinical Assessment of Attention DeficitChild (CAT-C)


Bruce A. Bracken, PhD and Barbara S. Boatwright, PhD

The CAT-C is a 42-item assessment instrument with


three parallel forms: a Self-Rating Form completed
by the child/adolescent, a Parent Rating Form
completed by one or both parents, and a Teacher
Rating Form completed by the childs or adolescents teacher(s). All three CAT-C Rating Forms are
comprehensive, highly reliable, and sensitive to the
symptomatology of attentional deficits both with and
without hyperactivity in children and adolescents.
The CAT-C closely resembles the adult version of the
CAT. Item content, Clinical scales, Context clusters,
and Locus clusters are similar and parallel between
both forms. Together, the CAT-C and the CAT-A
assess a continuum of behaviors and sensations
across an individuals life span.
The CAT-C was standardized on a sample of 800
children and adolescents ages 8 to 18 years, 800
matched parents of these children, and 500 teachers
of these children.
Concurrent validity for both the CAT-C and the CAT-A
was assessed via comparison with the Conners
Rating Scales, the Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder Test, the Clinical Assessment of Behavior,
and the Clinical Assessment of Depression,
revealing moderate-to-high correlations for both
nonclinical and combined clinical samples across all
three Rating Forms.

The three Rating Forms can be hand scored or the


item responses can be hand entered into the CAT
Software Portfolio (CAT-SP).

subtests represent the core symptoms necessary for ADHD diagnosis: hyperactivity, impulsivity, and
inattention.
Normed on a representative national sample of more than 1,200 persons who were diagnosed with attentiondeficit disorders.
Studies of internal consistency and test-retest reliability produced high (.90 and above) coefficients.
Additional studies confirmed the content, construct, and criterion-related validity.
Quick and easy to use.

Conners Rating ScalesRevised (CRS-R)


C. Keith Conners, PhD

The CRS-R adds a number of enhancements to


a set of measures that has long been one of the
standard instruments for the assessment of ADHD
in children and adolescents. Published in the
QuikScore format, the CRS-R evaluates problem
behaviors as reported by the teacher, parents or
alternative caretakers, and adolescents. All three
instruments (Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report)
contain scales created through factor analyses
to assess a broad range of significant problem
behaviors, rationally created scales that correspond
with DSM-IV criteria for ADHD, and an empirically
created index for assessing children and adolescents at risk for a diagnosis of ADHD.
Both Long (CPRS-R:L, CTRS-R:L) and Short
(CPRSR:S, CTRS-R:S) Forms have been developed
to assess problem behaviors reported by parents and
teachers.

The Conners-Wells Adolescent Self-Report Scale:


Long (CASS:L) and Short (CASS:S) versions assess
self-reports of problem behaviors.
QuikScore Forms are designed for easy
administration, scoring, and profiling of results.
Feedback Forms are designed to provide
professional-looking assessment feedback and

Created in response to a growing demand for an


assessment that identifies a multitude of disorders
and concerns, the Conners CBRS aids psychology professionals in obtaining a comprehensive
assessment of children and adolescents via a multiinformant rating process. The instrument assists with
the diagnostic process through direct links to the
DSM-IV-TR and the IDEA 2004 and identifies and
qualifies students for inclusion in special education/
research studies. In addition, the Conners CBRS
assists in the development of intervention treatment
plans, monitors the individuals response to intervention/treatment, and evaluates the effectiveness of
intervention/treatment.
Children and adolescents ages 6-18 years of age
are able to benefit from the Conners CBRS Parent
and Teacher Forms. Adolescents ages 8-18 years
can complete the Self-Report Forms. The instrument
includes DSM-IV-TR symptom scales that assess
the following disorders:









Generalized anxiety disorder

Administration, Scoring, and Reporting

The Conners CBRS is administered via paper and


pencil, using the Response Booklet. All Conners
CBRS forms are scored by using the unlimited-use
software, Conners CBRS for Windows. The
software offers two report options:
Assessment ReportProvides information about
the youths scores and how they compare to those
obtained by peers. The results are reported in relation
to DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria and to special
education eligibility categories found in IDEA(2004).
The report also includes feedback forms that are
helpful in summarizing results when presenting
findings from the Parent, Teacher, and Self-Report
Forms.
Progress ReportProvides combined results of
two to four administrations, highlighting important
changes that have occurred over time.

The Conners CBRS was co-normed with the


Conners 3 (see page 231), reflecting the general
population of the U.S. for gender, race/ethnicity,
and parent education level (U.S. Census Bureau,
2000). The normative sample consisted of 1,000
youth rated by both parents and teachers and 1,000
youth self-reports. In addition, data were collected
for a clinical sample (i.e.,558 parent, 506 teacher,
556 youth self-report). Reliability and validity were
examined and are reported in the manual in terms of
internal consistency, test-retest reliability, interrater
reliability, standard error of measurement, standard
error of prediction, factorial validity, construct validity,
and discriminant validity.

Conners 3rd Edition (Conners 3)


C. Keith Conners, PhD

Based on the solid findings and key elements of its


predecessor, the Conners Rating ScalesRevised
(CRS-R), the Conners 3 offers a more thorough
assessment of ADHD. The Conners 3 now
addresses comorbid disorders such as oppositional
defiant disorder and conduct disorder. Each Parent,
Teacher, and Self-Report Form is available in long
and short versions.
Whats New in the Conners 3?
A large normative sample representative of the latest
U.S. Census data.
A refined focus on ADHD in school-age children with
a new age range (i.e.,6-18 years for Parent and
Teacher Forms; 8-18 years for Self-Report Form).
Strengthened DSMIV-TR connections.
Clear applications in educational settings that help
identify children with clinical symptoms.
A manual that provides step-by-step guidance on
how to use the tool in intervention planning and
monitoring.

The Conners 3 includes two popular indexes:


the Conners 3 ADHD Index (Conners 3AI) and
the Conners 3 Global Index (Conners 3GI). The
Conners3AI is ideal for users who need to quickly
screen for ADHD, and works well for screening
large groups of children and adolescents to see if
additional assessment of ADHD is warranted. The
Conners 3GI is a fast and effective measure of
general psychopathology. It includes the 10 bestpredictive items from the CRS-R parent and teacher
rating scales.
Long Forms

The long form is a comprehensive assessment


that can be used as part of the diagnostic process
through direct links to the DSM-IV-TR. The Parent
Form includes 110 items, the Teacher Form includes
115 items, and the Self-Report Form includes
99items. These forms are excellent for identifying
the specific needs of each youth as well as areas
that require attention and focus.
Three new validity scales (i.e.,Positive Impression,
Negative Impression, and Inconsistency Index)
increase confidence in the informants responses.
An assessment of executive functioning has been
added to the Parent and Teacher Forms.
Two new complete DSM-IV-TR symptom scales that
measure oppositional defiant disorder and conduct
disorder have been added for all informants.
New severe conduct critical items identify youth who
require immediate attention and intervention.
Screener items for both anxiety and depression have
been added.
Short Forms

The Conners 3 also gives clinicians the choice of


using a short form. Consisting of 43 items on the

Parent Form, 39 items on the Teacher Form, and


39items on the Self-Report Form, the short form
is an excellent tool for screening large groups of
students who may require additional assessment.
The short form includes the strongest items from the
long forms empirical scales and includes Positive
and Negative Impression Indexes for all informants.
This form is beneficial when an assessment is
repeated a number of times and/or when administraNow addresses comorbid disorders
tion time is limited.
such as oppositional defiant
disorder and conduct disorder.

Scoring Options

The QuikScore forms convert raw scores to


T scores, providing the user with a clear and easily
understood profile of results, and are available for
all Conners 3 forms. The unlimited-use Conners3
software enables the user to score the test and
to generate Assessment Reports and Progress
Reports for all three forms.

Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS)


C. Keith Conners, PhD, Drew Erhardt, PhD, and Elizabeth Sparrow, MA

The CAARS self-report and observer forms provide a balanced, multimodal assessment of adult ADHD
symptoms at home, at work, and in peer interaction. Both forms use a 4-point Likert-style format, and are
written at a 6th-grade reading level. In addition, the CAARS contains a Long version, a Short version and a
Screening version. Hand-scoring takes about 10 minutes with the QuikScore Form.
Long versions of the Self-Report form (CAARS-S:L) and Observer Form (CAARS-O:L) provide comprehensive
information along clinically relevant dimensions.
Short versions of the Self-Report Form (CAARS-S:S) and Observer Form (CAARS-O:S) display key dimensions.
Screening versions of the Self-Report Form (CAARS-S:SV) and Observer Form (CAARS-O:SV) contain the scales
most relevant to clinical assessment of ADHD and require only 10 minutes for administration.
Age- and gender-based norms are derived from a large sample of 2,000 nonclinical community adults.

Conners Continuous Performance Test II (CPT II) Version 5


C. Keith Conners, PhD and MHS Staff

The CPT II V.5 is an updated version of the CPT II for Windows. The respondents react to target letters on
the screen, allowing the CPT II program to measure response time, errors, change in reaction time speed
and consistency, signal detection theory statistics, and overall statistics. The unique Conners paradigm,
widely used in clinical practice and ADHD research, is still the basis for the program. The software contains
large normative samples, including new ADHD clinical data and data on neurologically impaired adults.
The CPT II V.5 program produces a Conners Multimodal Integrated Report that combines CPT II results with
those obtained from the CRS-R V.5 software. You also can generate a Single Administration Report and a
Multi-Administration Report, which is ideal for monitoring treatment efficacy because it compares the results
of up to four administrations for the same client.
The CPT II V.5 comes with the MHS SmartLink client management software that offers faster report
generation, enhanced client-searching capabilities, and flexible multi-user security.

Conners Continuous Performance Test for Windows:


Kiddie Version (K-CPT)
C. Keith Conners, PhD and MHS Staff

Provides early identification


of attention disorders in
children ages 4-5 years.
Purpose: Identify attention
problems and
measure treatment
effectiveness

The K-CPT follows the same basic paradigm as


the popular Conners CPT II, but with some key
differences that make it an ideal tool for the early
identification of attention disorders in children ages
4-5 years. The K-CPT takes half as much time
to administer as the CPT II (only 7 minutes), and
pictures of objects rather than letters are presented
on-screen. Young children are better able to
recognize pictures rather than letters. Therefore, the
K-CPT avoids the potentially confounding variable of
letter recognition.

The K-CPT offers two report options: the Single


Administration Report allows you to select sections
for inclusion; the Multi-Administration Report allows
you to compare the results of up to four administrations for the same child, making the K-CPT an
efficient tool for monitoring treatment efficacy.

Special Features of the STAXI-2 C/A


Distinguishes temporary anger states from more
trait-like or enduring conditions (e.g., whether a
temper tantrum is a hallmark of a personality trait vs.
a transient state-like event).
Enhances the ability to assess and diagnose the
spectrum of conditions in which anger intensity as an
emotional state is important (e.g., bipolar disorder,
intermittent explosive disorder, reactive attachment
disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, posttraumatic
stress disorder).

Assesses the degree to which a child reacts only to


specific negative events or more generally responds
to diverse environmental events.
Assesses a childs habitual anger coping style as
either externalizing or internalizing (i.e., suppressive).
Assists in the determination of whether key aspects of
a childs anger profile may be related to problems with
his or her health status (e.g., problems exacerbated
by intense and/or frequent anger suppression).
Written at a 4th-grade reading level, the STAXI-2 C/A
Rating Booklet is tailored for use by children and
adolescents.

The STAXI-2 C/A may be used as part of the diagnostic process, as a tool for monitoring the long-term
effects anger may have on children and adolescents,

Screens for risk of


drinking and driving.
Purpose: Measure attitudes
related to impaired
driving

Age: Adults and teens of


driving age

Admin: Self-report, Individual


or group

Time: 15 minutes

Qualification Level: B

The BADDS is an evidence-based pre- and posttest psychological questionnaire that measures attitudes,
behaviors, and intervention effectiveness related to impaired driving. It can be used to identify rationalizations
for drinking and driving and the risk of future impaired driving and riding behaviors; assess intervention effectiveness and behavioral and attitudinal change after intervention; and obtain a history of impaired driving.
Composed of three attitudes scales, two behavior scales, and other qualitative items, the BADDS was
designed specifically to screen for risk of drinking and driving rather than as a general screening instrument
for alcohol misuse or disorders. In addition, the BADDS is highly sensitive to change and can be used to
measure intervention effectiveness.
Administration of the BADDS can be conducted in individual or group settings. Aggregate results (class- or
program-wide) can help identify areas of program content that have successful impact and others that may
need to be modified. Aggregate scores also can be used to evaluate program effectiveness. The BADDS is
appropriate for assessing impaired driving attitudes and behaviors across varying demographics and settings, such as DUI court programs including prevention, intervention, and treatment of impaired drivers; DUI
probation departments; individual counseling; prerelease treatment planning in jails and prisons; universities
and schools; and research.

provide clinically useful information regarding an
individuals attitude toward the assessment, as well
as defensiveness, emotional pain, ability to acknowledge problems, and risk of legal problems. The
SASSI is effective even when individuals are unable
or unwilling to acknowledge relevant behaviors.
Accurate, inexpensive, and simple to administer.
Produces reliable results using both test-retest and
internal consistency methodologies; corresponds
closely with independent clinical diagnoses.
No significant gender difference was found in
SASSI-3 accuracy; level of functioning also did not
significantly impact the accuracy of the SASSI-3.

been empirically validated as a screening instrument
for substance use disorders (for both substance
dependence and substance abuse): 94% overall
accuracy rate for substance use disorders, 96%
accuracy rate for substance dependence, and 90%
accuracy rate for substance abuse. It includes a
Users Guide with simple instructions for administration, scoring, and interpretation, and a Manual with
information on development, reliability, and validity.
Five SASSI-A2 Scales
Family & Friends Risk Scale (FRISK)Measures
the extent to which the adolescent is part of a family/
social system that is likely to enable substance
misuse.
Attitudes Toward Substance Use (ATT)Measures
the adolescents attitudes and beliefs regarding

Mind Body Wellness Geriatric Rehabilitation


and Restorative Assessment System (GRRAS)
P. Andrew Clifford, PhD, Kristi D. Roper, PhD, and Daisha J. Cipher, PhD

The three GRRAS forms can be


used separately or in combination.
Purpose: Assess the emotional
and behavioral
dysfunction
associated
with medical
and psychiatric
comorbidities within
geriatric populations
living in long-term
care settings

Age: 55 years and older

Admin: Individual

Time: Approximately
15 minutes per form

Qualification Level: B or S

The GRRAS is designed to assess the emotional


and behavioral dysfunction that is associated with
medical and psychiatric comorbidities of geriatric
individuals who reside in long-term care (LTC)
settings. Because the GRRAS documents the
frequency, duration, and intensity of symptoms
of psychiatric conditions and medical-psychiatric
comorbidities, it plays an important role in establishing the medical necessity for mental health services
for this population.
The GRRAS is composed of three clinician rating
forms. The Psychosocial Resistance to Activities
of Daily Living Index (PRADLI) Rating Form is an
8-item measure that assesses the level of LTC
residents resistance to and cooperation with staff
in performing activities of daily living (ADLs) on a
7-point scale. The Geriatric Multidimensional Pain/
Illness Inventory (GMPI) Rating Form is a 14-item
measure that assesses, on a 10-point scale, the perceptual, functional, and emotional concomitants of
pain and illness as they have affected the residents
abilities to perform activities. The Geriatric Level of
Dysfunction Scale (GLDS) Rating Form assesses,
on a 7-point scale, the intensity, frequency, and duration of 20 behaviors that can potentially interfere with
care provided in the LTC setting, such as agitation,
wandering, and unsafe/impulsive behaviors.

For each of the three GRRAS measures, percentile


ranks and predetermined clinical raw score ranges
were established based on a criterion-referenced
approach. Item and scale analyses ease progress
tracking over time and monitoring response to
intervention. Using the GRRAS Profile Form, visual
profiles of single or repeated administrations enable
clinicians to easily identify trends in an individuals
rehabilitation process.

Assess Attitudes and Beliefs About Pain That


Play a Key Role in Adjustment and Treatment
Survey of Pain Attitudes (SOPA)
Mark P. Jensen, PhD and Paul Karoly, PhD

Research conducted over the past decade indicates


that patients attitudes and beliefs about pain play a
key role in their adjustment and treatment outcome.
The SOPA is designed to assist clinicians in the
understanding of seven key pain-related beliefs of
patients who have chronic pain with the assumption that these beliefs reflect and influence patient
functioning. It is a self-report instrument on which
individuals are asked to indicate their level of agreement with 57 statements using a 5-point Likert scale.
This newly standardized version of the SOPA was
normed using a sample of 415 patients with chronic
pain. The SOPA was designed to assist health care
providers working with adults ages 21-80 years.
The SOPA can be used in a variety of testing situations, including pretreatment screening to determine
treatment necessity, pretreatment and posttreatment
to determine treatment effectiveness, and periodic
reevaluations to document treatment progress.
The SOPA consists of seven scales that are divided
into two domainsthe Adaptive Beliefs Domain and
the Maladaptive Beliefs Domain.
Adaptive Beliefs Domain
Control ScaleAssesses the extent to which a
patient sees himself/herself as having control over
his/her pain.
Emotion ScaleAssesses the patients belief that
emotions have an impact on pain.
Maladaptive Beliefs Domain
Disability ScaleAssesses the extent to which a
patient believes that he/she is disabled by pain.
Harm ScaleAssesses a patients beliefs that pain
is a signal/sign of physical damage and that in the
presence of pain, exercise/activity should be avoided.
Medication ScaleAssesses a patients belief that
medications are an appropriate treatment for his/her
pain problem.
Solicitude ScaleAssesses the extent to which
a patient believes that others (e.g.,family) should
be helpful/solicitous in response to his/her pain
(e.g.,taking over chores).

Medical Cure ScaleAssesses the extent to which


a patient believes that a cure will be found for his/
her pain and that the primary responsibility for the
management of his/her pain rests with the physician.
Features of the SOPA
T scores and percentiles are included for calculating
scores; a validity scale (i.e.,Inconsistency Score) is
included to measure inconsistency of responses.
Reliable Change scores are included to assist
in determining if there are differences between
scores obtained on two different testing occasions
(e.g.,pretreatment vs. posttreatment).
Interpretive guidelines and case examples are
included.
The Profile Form includes a skyline for clinically
elevated scores and treatment goals.
Reliability and Validity
Internal consistency for the seven SOPA scales
ranges from .65 to .82 for the standardization sample.
Test-retest stability for the SOPA scales is moderate
to good, ranging from .67 to .79 (n = 130).
The validity of the SOPA is discussed in terms of
evidence based on intercorrelations among the
SOPA scales, correlational analyses examining the
relationships between the SOPA scores and scores
on related measures (i.e.,mental health/psychological
functioning, physical dysfunction/disability, medical
utilization), and the use of the SOPA as a measure of
treatment outcome.

The SOPA assesses pain-related


beliefs that have been identified as
contributing to the adjustments a
patient makes to chronic pain.
Purpose: Assess patients
attitudes and beliefs

Assess Chronic Pain Coping Strategies...


Chronic Pain Coping Inventory (CPCI)
Mark P. Jensen, PhD, Judith A. Turner, PhD, Joan M. Romano, PhD, and Warren R. Nielson, PhD

The CPCI can be used in several


testing situations, including as
a treatment outcome measure,
as a screening measure,
and to document the necessity
of treatment. The Profile
Form includes a skyline for
clinically elevated scores
and treatment goals.
Purpose: Assess patients pain
coping strategies

Age: 20-80 years

Admin: Self-report;
Individual or group

Time: Approximately
10-15 minutes

Qualification Level: B or S

Designed to assess the use of coping strategies that


are typically targeted for change in multidisciplinary
pain treatment programs, the CPCI is a 70-item
selfreport instrument on which the individual is
asked to indicate the number of days during the
past week he or she used the listed coping strategy
to deal with pain. This newly standardized version
of the CPCI was normed using a sample of 527
patients with chronic pain.
The CPCI consists of nine scales that are divided
into two domainsthe Illness-Focused Coping
Domain and the Wellness-Focused Coping Domain.
Illness-Focused Coping Domain
Guarding ScaleAssesses the extent to which a
patient reports restricting the use/movement of a
body part as a way of coping with pain.
Resting ScaleAssesses the extent to which a
patient uses pain-contingent rest (e.g.,lying down) as
a way to cope with pain.
Asking for Assistance ScaleAssesses the
frequency with which a patient asks someone (e.g.,a
family member) for help with a chore when he/she is
in pain.
Wellness-Focused Coping Domain
Exercise/Stretch ScaleAssesses how many
days per week a patient stretches various muscle

groups, engages in various muscle strengthening


exercises, and engages in aerobic exercise for at
least 15minutes.
Relaxation ScaleAssesses the frequency with
which a patient uses strategies (e.g.,imagery,
listening to music, meditation, self-hypnosis) to
experience relaxation.
Task Persistence ScaleAssesses the extent to
which a patient continues normal activity despite his/
her pain.
Coping Self-Statements ScaleAssesses the
frequency with which a patient purposefully uses
adaptive cognitions when he/she experiences pain.
Pacing ScaleAssesses the extent to which a
patient is able to conduct activities in a paced, steady
manner that is not contingent on pain.
Seeking Social Support ScaleAssesses the
frequency with which a patient seeks out a friend/
loved one for companionship and support when in
pain.

The SDS has been used by more than 30 million people worldwide
and has been translated into more than 25 different languages. SDS
results have been supported by more than 600 research studies.
The SDS was developed by Dr. John Holland, whose theory of vocation
is the basis for most of the career inventories used today. Dr. Hollands
theory states that most people can be loosely categorized into six types
Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional
and that occupations and work environments also can be classified by
these categories. People who choose careers that match their own type
are most likely to be satisfied and successful. The personalized SDS report
can help your clients understand more about themselves and about how
individual skills and interests are related to career choice.

The SDS Form R Helps Your Clients Explore


the Careers Most Compatible With
Their Personality, Interests, and Abilities
Self-Directed Search (SDS) Form R: 4th Ed.
John L. Holland, PhD

Purpose: Assess career


interests

Age: High school students,


college students, and
adults

The SDS enables individuals to choose careers and fields of study that best match their self-reported skills
and interests. Based on Dr. John L. Hollands theory that both people and work environments can be classified according to six basic types (i.e.,Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional
[RIASEC]), the SDS simulates a career counseling experience. For some, it helps to narrow down the
number of career options they are considering; for others, it helps to increase the number of options they
might consider. Culturally fair, the SDS has demonstrated its usefulness in divergent groups around the world
for more than 30 years.
SDS Form R is an easy-to-use, comprehensive career exploration tool that allows people to gain insight
into the world of work and, with their new self-understanding, discover an occupational match. Individuals
answer questions about their aspirations, activities, competencies, occupations, and other self-estimates and
discover occupations that best fit their interests and skills. The test yields a three-letter Summary Code that
designates the three personality types an individual most closely resembles.

A majority of college students change their major at least once in their college careers; many change their
decision several times. All of these changes, while valuable in terms of personal growth and development,
often are costly in terms of time and dollars spent. The SDS can help students examine their interests,
abilities, and values, and then choose the course of study that is most appropriate for them.

Form R via the Internet. Your client will receive a 10- to 15-page personalized report on-screen
that includes a description of each of the six RIASEC types, the clients own three-letter Holland
code, an explanation of how that code can be used in career planning, a list of occupations and
fields of study that match the code, and suggestions of next steps for clients to follow in their

The SDS was developed by Dr. John Holland, whose theory of vocation is the basis for most
career inventories used today. Dr. Hollands theory states that most people can be loosely categorized into six typesRealistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional
and that occupations and work environments also can be classified by these categories. People
who choose careers that match their own type are most likely to be both satisfied and successful. The personalized SDS report can help your clients understand more about themselves and
about how individual skills and interests are related to career choice.

Career Thoughts Inventory (CTI)


James P. Sampson, Jr., PhD, Gary W. Peterson, PhD, Janet G. Lenz, PhD,
Robert C. Reardon, PhD, and Denise E. Saunders, PhD

The CTI is a self-administered and objectively


scored assessment designed to identify individuals
who are likely to need counseling assistance; to
identify the nature of individuals career problems;
and to help individuals identify, challenge, and alter
negative career thoughts that interfere with effective
career decision making.
Can be used for screening and needs assessment.
Can be used as a learning resource to help clients
act more positively in career problem solving and
decision making.
Enables you to discuss items that might not ordinarily
be addressed and helps individuals identify areas
on which they need to focus in order to experience
success.
Provides a measure of learning outcomes associated
with various counseling and guidance interventions.
Standardized on a national sample of more than
1,500 adults, college students, and high school
students.

The CTI yields a Total score (a single global indicator of negative thinking in career problem solving
and decision making), as well as scores on three
construct scales:
Decision-Making Confusion, which reflects an inability
to initiate or sustain the decision-making process as
a result of disabling emotions and/or a lack of under
standing about the decision-making process itself.
Commitment Anxiety, which reflects an inability to
make a commitment to a specific career choice,
accompanied by generalized anxiety about the
outcome of the decision-making process that
perpetuates the indecision.
External Conflict, which reflects an inability to balance
the importance of ones own perceptions of self
with the importance of input from significant others,
resulting in a reluctance to assume responsibility for
decision making.

Identifies negative career thoughts.


Purpose: Assist in career
problem solving and
decision making

Career Decision Scale (CDS)


Samuel H. Osipow, PhD

The CDS provides an estimate of career indecision and its antecedents, as well as an outcome measure
to determine the effects of relevant interventions. The 4-page Test Booklet contains all items and ratings, as
well as space for scoring and recording. Students indicate on a scale of 1 to 4 how closely each statement
describes their own thinking process regarding their educational and occupational plans.
The CDS is composed of 19 items. The Certainty scale (items 1 and 2) measures the degree of certainty
students feel about their decision about a college major and/or a career. The Indecision scale (i.e., items
3-18) provides a measure of career indecision. Item 19 is open-ended, allowing students to clarify or provide
additional information about their career decision making.
The CDS Manual provides normative data for high school and college students as well as limited norms for
adult college women and continuing education students.

Reuven Bar-On, PhD

Measures emotional intelligence.


Purpose: Measure emotional
intelligence

Age: 16 years and older

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 15 minutes

Qualification Level: B

Pentium or higher processor; 192MB
RAM; 52MB hard drive space; mouse
or pointing device; VGA color monitor;
CD-ROM drive and USB 2.0 port for
installation

Research indicates that there is a strong correlation


between emotional intelligence and job performance. Based on 17 years of research and tested
on over 33,000 individuals worldwide, the EQ-i is a
scientifically developed and validated measure of
emotional intelligence that reflects an individuals
ability to effectively deal with daily environmental
changes. It can be used by organizations as part of
the recruiting process to aid in identifying potentially
successful employees and also is helpful in identifying emotional and social skills that are important
to develop in employee training programs, in team
building, and in enhancing managerial competencies at work.

The 4-page Individual Summary Report provides


the overall EQ score, plus scores for each of the 5
composite scales and the 15 subscales and validity
indicator results.
The 8- to 10-page Development Report includes
the scores provided in the Individual Summary
Report, as well as an in-depth narrative explanation
of the meaning of the scores, where the individuals
strengths and weaknesses lie, and suggestions on
how to improve emotional intelligence.
The comprehensive Technical Manual provides
detailed information about the administration, scoring,
interpretation, development, norming, reliability, and
validity of the BarOn EQ-i.
The concise Users Manual is ideal for those
who simply require essential information on the
administration, scoring, and interpretation of the
BarOn EQ-i.
The EQ-i program works with the MHS SmartLink
client management program.

Consists of 133 items and assesses 15 dimensions


of emotional intelligence: Emotional Self-Awareness,
Self-Actualization, Interpersonal Relationships,
Flexibility, Impulse Control, Assertiveness,
Independence, Social Responsibility, Reality Testing,
Optimism, Self-Regard, Empathy, Problem Solving,
Stress Tolerance, and Happiness.
The BarOn EQ-i Computer Program enables you
to quickly administer, score, and generate reports.
Scoring requires either the Individual Summary
Report or the Development Report software.

Job Stress Survey (JSS)


Charles D. Spielberger, PhD and Peter R. Vagg, PhD

The JSS was developed to assess sources of work-related stress experienced by individuals in a wide
variety of business, industrial, and educational settings. It consists of three scales and six subscales.
Severity and Frequency scales provide information on the average level of perceived severity and frequency of
occurrence of the 30 JSS stressor events.
The Stress Index assesses the clients overall level of stress based on the combined severity and frequency
ratings.
The 10-item JSS subscales measure components of occupational stress associated with the job itself (i.e., Job
Pressure) and with lack of support from supervisors, coworkers, or the policies and procedures of the organization
(i.e., Lack of Organizational Support).
The client indicates on a scale of 0 to 9+ days how often each event has occurred during the preceding 6 months.
Written at a 6th-grade reading level; provides gender-specific and combined-gender norms.
An unlimited-use computerized scoring program (JSS-SP) is also available.

Wiesen Test of Mechanical Aptitude (WTMA)PAR Edition


Joel P. Wiesen, PhD

Suitable for use in vocational


training programs and
staffing agencies.
Purpose: Assess mechanical
aptitude

Age: 18 years and older

Admin: Individual or group


Time: 30 minutes (timed)


to administer;
5 minutes to score

Qualification Level: B or S
Note:
Stopwatch requiredSee page 261 for
stopwatches.

The WTMA is a paper-and-pencil test of mechanical


aptitude designed for use alone or as part of a personnel selection battery in a variety of employment
and training settings (e.g., manufacturing, industrial),
as well as for academic research. It also is suitable for use in many vocational/ technical training
programs and temporary staffing agencies.
Designed to minimize both gender and ethnic bias,
as well as the academic bias found in many other
instruments, the WTMA questions do not require
familiarity with objects or events encountered in
specific locales such as a physics or chemistry
class or an auto repair shop. Multiple-choice
questions, which are written at a 6th-grade reading
level, include simple drawings that address broad
mechanical/physical concepts (e.g., basic machines,
movement, gravity/center of gravity, basic electricity/
electronics, transfer of heat, basic physical properties) as they are seen in everyday objects and
situations. The brief questions involve the function
and/or use, size, weight, shape, and appearance of

common physical objects, tools, and devices. For


every question, there is always one clear difference
between the pictured alternatives, and the questions
refer to the impact of that difference.
This 30-minute timed test can be scored in just 5
minutes. The WTMA Professional Manual provides
technical information as well as combined-gender
percentile conversions for WTMA Total scores.
Normative data are based on 1,817 adults from several industrial settings. Although many WTMA users
may prefer to set their own cutoff scores based on
local norms or predictive validity studies, the Manual
provides means and standard deviations for the total
industrial sample, by gender and ethnic group, and
for 221 college students.

NEO Software System With NEO PI-R,


NEO-FFI, and NEO PDR Modules
Paul T. Costa, Jr., PhD, Robert R. McCrae, PhD, PsyPro Corporation, and PAR Staff

The NEO Software System is a modular system that


allows you to generate free unlimited Interpretive
Reports when you input responses from a completed print administration. You also may administer
either the NEO PI-R or NEO-FFI on-screen via
a Serial Counter. The software will generate the
NEOPI-R, NEO-FFI, or NEO PDR Interpretive
Report and/or the appropriate client feedback report.
The NEO PI-R Interpretive Report includes a
T-score profile and data table; validity indexes; a
global description of the Five Factors with detailed
interpretation of the individual facets; personality
correlates with possible implications; clinical hypotheses regarding Axis II disorders with treatment
implications; and information about somatic complaints, coping and defense mechanisms, cognitive
processes, and personal needs and motivations.
The NEO-FFI Form S Interpretive Report includes
a T-score profile and data table, validity indexes, a
global description of the Five Factors, and personality correlates with possible implications. A separate
section of the report presents style graphs of the
five personality domains in terms of 10 personality
styles: Well-Being, Defense, Anger Control, Impulse
Control, Interests, Interactions, Activity, Attitudes,
Learning, and Character.
The NEO Professional
Development Report Is Ideal for
Human Resources Settings

Written by an experienced team of management


consultants, the NEO PDR addresses the personal
characteristics that have the highest potential for
yielding job-relevant information. It was specifically
designed to function as a tool both for management
planning and for promoting individual growth and
development. Two reports are generated for each
individual who takes the testthe Management
Planning Report and the Individual Planning Report.
Written in a positive, developmental tone, each
report contains a summary of the clients most
distinctive characteristics with an explanation of
how those characteristics may work to his or her
advantage or disadvantage in an organizational
setting. In addition, each report provides observations about the individuals strengths and limitations
in four critical areas: problem-solving skills; planning,
organizing, and implementation skills; style of relating to others; and personal style.
With unlimited report generation, the NEO PDR
provides profile matching ability that is particularly

helpful for interpretation. The graphic presentation


provides an informative picture of how well the job
fits the client. It also provides numerous opportunities for discussing with the client which differences
in the profile might be beneficial in a particular situation, and which deviations might be more serious
than would appear at first glance.
System now includes
all three NEO modules.

Assess the Degree to Which


a Childs or an Adolescents
Anger Is an Experiential State
or a Set of Personality Traits...

Based on the widely used


measure of anger, the
STAXI-2C/A is unique in its
ability to assess both state and
trait anger along with anger
expression and control.

State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory2


Child and Adolescent (STAXI-2 C/A)
Thomas M. Brunner, PhD and Charles D. Spielberger, PhD

Measuring how children and adolescents express and control their angry feelings is essential to understanding and predicting aggressive behavior. Based on the adult version of the instrument, the new STAXI-2 C/A is
sensitive to the developmental aspects of anger and distinguishes temporary anger states from more trait-like
or enduring conditions. It may be used as part of the diagnostic process, as a tool for monitoring the long-term
effects anger may have on children and adolescents, or as a complement to threat assessment measures and
procedures in a variety of settings. Written at a 4th-grade reading level, this 35-item self-report is tailored for
use by children and adolescents ages 9-18years and takes only 10 minutes to administer.
Assesses the degree to which a child reacts only to specific negative events or more generally responds to diverse
environmental events.
Assesses a childs habitual anger coping style as either externalizing or internalizing.
Complements risk assessment measures by helping you to determine the degree to which a childs personality
includes accumulated anger due to a highly internalizing style.
Enhances the ability to assess and diagnose the spectrum of conditions in which anger intensity as an emotional
state is important (e.g., bipolar disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, reactive attachment disorder, oppositional
defiant disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder).
Assists in the determination of whether key aspects of a childs anger profile may be related to problems with his or
her health status.
Provides valid pre- and post-assessments of anger for children and adolescents who are undergoing anger
management treatment.

For more information on the STAXI-2 C/A, see page 67 or 236.

The TEC Offers a Unique


Approach to the Assessment
of Executive Function...
Tasks of Executive Control (TEC)
The TEC is a standardized computer-administered measure of two fundamental aspects of executive
control processes: working memory and inhibitory control.
The test offers a unique approach to executive function assessment that represents the first standardized
clinical application of two integrated neuroscience methods commonly used to tap working memory and
inhibitory control: an n-back paradigm that parametrically increases working memory load and a go/
no-go task to manipulate inhibitory control demand. This combination of methods yields four sequential
tasks for 5- to 7-year-old children and six tasks for older children and adolescents ages 8-18 years. Three
equivalent forms and two research forms are included, along with standardized regression-based change
scores that facilitate interpretation of change over time when the instrument is administered on two or
more occasions. With highly accurate timing and a stable platform, the TEC calculates multiple normreferenced measures of accuracy, response time, and response time variability as working memory load
increases in both inhibit and no inhibit conditions.
The TEC is ideal for evaluating children and adolescents with a wide variety of developmental and
acquired neurological disorders including attention disorders, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and traumatic brain injuries. It also may be used to assess children with psychiatric and behavioral
health concerns. The software provides a brief Score Report, a Protocol Summary Report, and a detailed
Client Report.

With Its Wealth of Empirical Support,


the SIRS-2 Is Ideal for Use in Forensic
Populations and in Court Proceedings
Where the Findings of Psychological
Evaluations Are Closely Scrutinized...
Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms, 2nd Edition
(SIRS-2)
Richard Rogers, PhD, ABPP
Professional Manual by Richard Rogers, PhD, ABPP, Kenneth W. Sewell, PhD, and Nathan D. Gillard, MS

While retaining many of the features that made the original instrument the gold standard in its field, the
updated SIRS-2 helps you evaluate feigning of psychiatric symptoms in greater detail with expanded scoring and classification as well as new scales and indexes.
The updated Manual reviews the malingering literature with special attention to detection strategies and
their clinical applications to feigned mental disorders. The SIRS-2 Manual also provides:

A new Spanish Language Interview


Booklet is now available.

Definitions of malingering, factitious disorders, feigning, and related terms;


An understanding of explanatory models and their relevance to clinical practice;
Insights into the SIRS-2 primary scales, including their general category of detection strategies (unlikely vs. amplified) and conceptual relationship to other
commonly used measures; and
A discussion of the tests reliability and validity, including its excellent discriminant validity when comparing feigning samples to genuine samples.

Two security templates are provided for instances in which evaluators are legally required to produce SIRS-2 responses to each item. A new
Spanish Language Interview Booklet also is available.

For more information on the SIRS-2, see page 146.
