The Teacher Rating Scales (TRS) are used to measure adaptive and problem behaviors in the preschool or school setting. Teachers or other qualified observers can complete forms at three age levels—preschool (ages 2 to 5), child (ages 6 to 11), and adolescent (ages 12 to 21). The Parent Rating Scales (PRS) are used to measure both adaptive and problem behaviors in the community and home setting. Parents or caregivers can complete forms at three age levels—preschool (ages 2 to 5), child (ages 6 to 11), and adolescent (ages 12 to 21). The Self-Report of Personality (SRP) provides insight into a child's or adult's thoughts and feelings. Each form—child (ages 8 to 11), adolescent (ages 12 to 21), college (ages 18 to 25), interview (ages 6-7) —includes validity scales for helping judge the quality of completed forms.
