How the Scales are Structured

example score

3/6

Responsibility (R)

Measures how consistently a child plans, follows through on commitments, and tries to avoid mistakes in everyday tasks.

Low responsibility

Moderate responsibility

High responsibility

1 – 3.9: Low responsibility | 4 – 4.9: Moderate responsibility | 5 – 6: High responsibility

A score of 3 falls in the Low responsibility range, suggesting the child may sometimes procrastinate and find it harder to plan or consistently follow through on tasks.

example score

3/6

Independence (I)

Measures how independently a child can plan, organize, and regulate their activities without relying on external prompts or others’ opinions.

Needs support

Growing independence

Independent

1 – 3.9: Needs support | 4 – 4.9: Growing independence | 5 – 6: Independent

A score of 3 suggests the child currently tends to rely on external guidance and reassurance rather than consistently organizing their behavior independently.

example score

4/6

Flexibility (F)

Measures how well a child can adjust actions and change behavior when conditions or rules shift.

Low flexibility

Moderate flexibility

High flexibility

1 – 3: Low flexibility | 4: Moderate flexibility | 5 – 6: High flexibility

A score of 4 indicates moderate flexibility, suggesting the child can adapt to changes in many situations but may need time or support when shifts are sudden or complex.

example score

3/6

Evaluation of Outcomes (EoO)

Measures how well a child can evaluate the outcomes of their actions and maintain an adequate, consistent self-assessment.

Limited self-evaluation

Developing self-evaluation

Strong self-evaluation

1 – 3.9: Limited self-evaluation | 4 – 4.9: Developing self-evaluation | 5 – 6: Strong self-evaluation

A score of 3 suggests limited self-criticism and less stable criteria for judging success, so feedback may be used inconsistently when adjusting behavior.

example score

3/6

Programming (P)

Measures how consciously a child plans actions and sequences steps to reach goals, adjusting behavior as needed.

Low planning

Developing planning

Strong planning

1 – 3.9: Low planning | 4 – 4.9: Developing planning | 5 – 6: Strong planning

A score of 3 falls in the Low planning range, suggesting the child may act more impulsively and benefit from support in independently organizing steps toward goals.

example score

4/6

Modeling (M)

Measures how well a child recognizes important conditions for achieving goals and consciously plans actions based on the situation.

Low

Moderate

High

1 – 3: Low | 4: Moderate | 5 – 6: High

A score of 4 indicates a moderate ability to identify key conditions for reaching goals and to outline actions, with some areas that may still need clarification in planning.

example score

4/6

Planning (P)

Measures how well the child sets goals and consciously plans and follows through on intended actions.

Low planning

Moderate planning

High planning

1 – 3: Low planning | 4: Moderate planning | 5 – 6: High planning

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Child Behavior Self-Regulation Style Questionnaire Test

self-regulation

This brief questionnaire is intended to screen a child’s typical self-regulation style in everyday settings. The Child Behavior Self-Regulation Style Questionnaire provides a rapid, structured way to identify patterns related to behavioral control, attention management, and planning that may affect functioning at home or school.

Developed by Ross W. Greene, it consists of 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Results from the Child Behavior Self-Regulation Style Questionnaire are best used as an initial indicator to inform follow-up clinical interviewing, behavioral observation, and school-based planning rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic measure.
