Barkley Adult Adhd Rating Scale

The document contains two 18-item rating scales for assessing symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The first scale is for self-report, asking individuals to rate how often in the past 6 months they have experienced each symptom. The second scale is for other-report, asking a spouse or friend to rate how often the individual has displayed each symptom. Respondents circle a number from 0 to 3 to indicate if a symptom occurs never/rarely, sometimes, often, or very often.
