BRIEF®2
Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function®, Second Edition
Screens for impairment of executive function in children and adolescents ages 5–18
It contains 63 items within nine theoretically and empirically derived and well-validated clinical scales that measure commonly agreed upon domains of executive functioning: Inhibit, Self-Monitor, Shift, Emotional Control, Initiate, Working Memory, Plan/ Organize, Task-Monitor, and Organization of Materials.
Columns are summed
■ These are the raw scores for each function
“N” = negativity scale
F” = infrequency scale
“I” = inconsistency scale
Raw scores are
translated into T-scores and percentile ranks

Ruff 2 & 7
how is it scored
Measures sustained attention and selective attention
16 years to 70 years
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.
