The executive function self report – It’s not just attention


This inventory is designed to assess your executive functioning skills as they apply to your daily routines and activities. Please answer each question based on the frequency with which the statement reflects your typical behavior. Aim for a general sense of accuracy, rather than pinpointing exact occurrences. Take a few seconds to read and comprehend each question before responding intuitively.

Rating Scale:

  • 0: Never
  • 1: Occasionally, with minimal disruption
  • 2: Occasionally, causing some disruption
  • 3: Frequently

Upon completion of the inventory, you will receive a set of scores. Higher scores indicate stronger functioning in those specific areas, while lower scores may suggest areas for further exploration or development.
