Scored manually by summing item scores for each subscale.

Development sample: 493 children (261 boys and 242 girls) from 46 public schools in Worcester, Massachusetts. The authors noted that girls tended to have higher teacher ratings than boys on academic productivity and behavioural functioning.

Development study reported internal consistency coefficients of 0.72-0.95, and 2-week test-retest coefficients of 0.88-0.95. Inter-rater reliability coefficients of 0.77-0.89 have been reported elsewhere.

Development study reported exemplary convergent validity and moderate discriminative validity.
