How the Scales are Structured

example score

43/50

Mobility of Nervous Processes (MoNP)

Measures how quickly and flexibly the child switches between activities and adapts to changing conditions.

Low mobility

Moderate mobility

High mobility

10 – 20: Low mobility | 21 – 34: Moderate mobility | 35 – 50: High mobility

A score of 43 indicates high mobility, suggesting quick switching between tasks and generally flexible adaptation to changes.

example score

37/50

Balance of Nervous Processes (BoNP)

Assesses how evenly excitation and inhibition processes are balanced, influencing calmness, impulse control, and behavioral stability.

Low balance

Average balance

High balance

10 – 20: Low balance | 21 – 34: Average balance | 35 – 50: High balance

A score of 37 falls in the High balance range, suggesting generally steady self-regulation and more consistent behavior under everyday demands.

example score

37/50

Nervous System Strength (Excitation) (NSS)

Measures how well the child’s nervous system sustains prolonged or intense stimulation without rapid fatigue.

Low

Average

High

10 – 20: Low | 21 – 34: Average | 35 – 50: High

A score of 37 falls in the High range, suggesting the child generally maintains performance under sustained demands and is less prone to quick fatigue.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Diagnosis of Life Manifestations of Nervous System Properties Test

Assessment of Behavioral Manifestations of Nervous System Properties Test - Symptoms and Signs

structure of temperament

This measure is designed to evaluate everyday behavioral indicators that may reflect individual differences in nervous system functioning and temperament in school-aged children. The Assessment of Behavioral Manifestations of Nervous System Properties is typically completed by an adult informant (e.g., parent or teacher) based on routine observations rather than child self-report. It contains 30 items and takes about 6 minutes to complete.

Item content generally targets observable features such as stress tolerance, speed of responding and shifting between activities, emotional stability, and temperament-related behavioral tendencies. Scoring can be used to summarize patterns of behavior to inform clinical or school-based understanding and to support planning for individualized accommodations or interventions. The Assessment of Behavioral Manifestations of Nervous System Properties has been attributed to Hans J. Eysenck and Jeffrey A. Gray.
