CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Any questions left?
What does this questionnaire measure?
It measures everyday executive functions such as planning, organization, cognitive flexibility, and self-control. Ratings describe how these skills appear in daily settings rather than in a lab task.
Who should complete the form?
A parent, guardian, or teacher who knows the child well should complete it. One rater should answer all items based on typical behavior.
What age range is appropriate?
It is intended for children and adolescents ages 5 through 18 years. Use the form that matches the child’s age and the rater type.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion time is about 16 minutes. The questionnaire includes 86 items.
How should results be interpreted and used?
Scores should be interpreted with the manual and relevant norms, and used as part of a broader evaluation. Results support monitoring and intervention planning but do not serve as a stand-alone diagnosis.

Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) Test
This measure is designed to assess everyday manifestations of executive functioning in children and adolescents through standardized behavior ratings. The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) is commonly used to characterize difficulties with planning, organization, cognitive flexibility, and self-monitoring as observed in natural settings.
Informants typically include parents and/or teachers, who rate the frequency of specific behaviors. The questionnaire includes 86 items and takes about 16 minutes to complete. It yields a profile of executive function–related domains that can support clinical formulation, educational planning, and treatment monitoring when interpreted within the context of other assessment data.
The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) was developed by P. K. Isquith, G. A. Gioia, L. Kenworthy, and S. C. Guy. Interpretation should follow the test manual and appropriate normative references, and results should be integrated with developmental history, behavioral observations, and collateral information.
