Short Description of Instrument
The Child Behavior Checklist measures a child's competencies by using their parent's perception of their performance on three scales, which include activities, social and school. Separate forms for ages 1.5 to 5 years and 6 to 18 years, as well as separate forms to be filled out by the parent/caregiver or teacher, are available. Scores for three competence scales and a total competence score can be computed.
 
The Teacher's Report Form is completed by the child's teacher and obtains information related to the child's behavior in a classroom setting.
 
Scoring
Raw scores, t scores (M=50, SD=10), and percentiles are given based on test results. The value of t scores for each range varies depending on the scale; in some scales higher t scores are associated with normal functioning and on others lower t scores are associated with normal functioning.
