ADHD Clinical Outcome Scale – Self Report (ACOS-SR)
The ADHD Clinical Outcome Scale – Self-Report (ACOS-SR) is a brief 6-item measure developed to assess current ADHD symptom burden and functional impact in adults. It is derived from the clinician-rated ACOS and provides a rapid way to track treatment response, day-to-day functioning, and changes over time. Each item reflects core ADHD-related impairments commonly experienced in adulthood, including attention difficulties, distractibility, organization challenges, follow-through, impulsivity, and associated functional disruption.
Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1)
The Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS v1.1) is a widely used adult ADHD screening tool developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with Kessler and colleagues. It screens for core ADHD symptoms consistent with DSM criteria, focusing on attention difficulties, hyperactivity, impulsivity, and task-related executive function.
Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)
The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is a globally recognized screening tool developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to identify hazardous, harmful, and potentially dependent patterns of alcohol use. It is designed for rapid use in primary care, mental health, and community settings, offering a structured way to detect early risk before more severe problems develop.

Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q)
The Camouflaging Autistic Traits Questionnaire (CAT-Q) is a 25-item self-report measure that assesses the use of social camouflaging strategies—behaviors used to mask, compensate for, or hide autistic traits in social situations. Developed by Hull and colleagues (2019), the CAT-Q was created to better understand the cognitive and behavioral strategies that many autistic individuals use to navigate social expectations, often at significant emotional or cognitive cost.

Devereux Adult Resilience Survey (DARS)
The Devereux Adult Resilience Survey (DARS) is a 36-item self-assessment designed to measure protective factors that support emotional well-being, resilience, and healthy functioning in adults. Developed by the Devereux Center for Resilient Children (DCRC), the DARS emphasizes strengths rather than symptoms, allowing individuals and clinicians to identify internal and external resources that promote adaptability and recovery.
Dissociative Experiences Scale, Brief (DES-B)
The Dissociative Experiences Scale–Brief (DES-B) is an 8-item short form derived from the original 28-item Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES).

Empathy Quotient (EQ)
The Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a 60-item self-report measure developed by Baron-Cohen and Wheelwright (2004) to assess empathy levels in adults, capturing both cognitive empathy (understanding others’ thoughts and feelings) and affective empathy (responding emotionally to another’s experience). Designed by the Autism Research Centre (ARC) at the University of Cambridge, the EQ evaluates empathy as a continuous trait.
Empathy Quotient – Short Form (EQ-10)
The EQ-10 is a 10-item abbreviated version of the 60-item Empathy Quotient (EQ), created as a rapid screening tool for empathy-related traits in adults. Developed by Allison, Baron-Cohen, and colleagues, the EQ-10 retains the most discriminating items from the full EQ and provides a quick estimate of general empathic tendencies. Scores range from 0–10, with higher scores indicating greater self-reported empathy. The EQ-10 is not intended for diagnosis or for evaluating the full multidimensional construct of empathy; rather, it is a compact indicator suited for research settings, preliminary screening, and contexts where time is limited.
Executive Skills Questionnaire – Revised (ESQ-R)
The Executive Skills Questionnaire – Revised (ESQ-R) is a 36-item self-report measure designed to assess adult executive functioning using Dawson & Guare’s widely used

The Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7) instrument is used to measure and monitor the severity of generalized anxiety disorders. The scale was published in 2006 by Robert L. Spitzer, Kurt Kroenke, Janet B. W. Williams, and colleagues, and was designed to be a brief and easy to complete 7-item scale for measuring generalized anxiety, based on criteria outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (DSM-IV). Evidence has shown that the GAD-7 has effective sensitivity and specificity for screening for other anxiety disorders, such as Panic, Social Anxiety and Posttraumatic Stress Disorders.
Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly – Self Report (IQCODE-SR)
The IQCODE-SR is the self-report adaptation of the widely used Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE). While the original IQCODE is completed by a knowledgeable informant, the IQCODE-SR allows older adults to report on their

Developed by Hirschfeld and colleagues (2000), it assesses the presence of manic and hypomanic features, evaluates whether symptoms occurred during the same period, and screens for associated functional impairment.
Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation v6 MID
The MID (Version 6.0) is a comprehensive self-report measure designed to assess pathological dissociation across a wide range of symptoms, experiences, and internal phenomena. Developed by Paul F. Dell, PhD, the MID evaluates both severity and structure of dissociative experiences, including amnesia, depersonalization, derealization, identity alteration, voice hearing, trance states, and other dissociative phenomena commonly seen in trauma-related disorders. It produces 23 primary clinical scales, 10 validity indices, and two global summary scores:
