Description:

Deficits in executive function may impair problem solving, reasoning and adaptive behaviour, making even the simplest tasks a challenge.  The Comprehensive Executive Function Inventory Adult (CEFI Adult TM) is a rating scale that may capture if and how a person achieves goals in a variety of settings.  Intended to be used by professionals in clinical, educational and research settings, the CEFI Adult is a comprehensive assessment of executive function that delivers highly accurate results.  Based on extensive norming, the CEFI Adult provides data that will help guide diagnosis, intervention and treatment planning.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Evaluates executive function strengths and weaknesses across nine different scales.
• Provides scores you can trust with a highly representative nationally standardised behaviour rating scale of executive function in adults.
• Normative data represents the U.S. population.
• Ensures understanding with an accessible fourth-grade reading level.
• Provides observer and self-report ratings for a comprehensive evaluation of executive function.

Technical Overview:

The CEFI Adult normative samples (1,660 each for the Self and Observer Reports) are representative of the U.S. population of adults aged 18 years and older.  The samples were collected using a stratified sampling plan (based on the 2010 U.S. Census) based on age, gender, race/ethnicity, region and education level.  All representation of the sub-samples fell within 2% of the U.S. population targets.  The normative samples also 8included ratings of individuals who had a clinical diagnosis.

The reliability coefficients indicated that the Full Scale has excellent internal reliability on both reports in the normative and clinical samples (Self report alpha = .97; Observer report alpha = .98).  Alpha values for the CEFI Adult Scales were also high, with a median alpha of .83 for the Self-Report From and .90 for the Observer report.  The results suggest that the CEFI Adult has excellent test-retest reliability with Full Scale values of  ≥ .90 or higher for the Self-Report and Observer reports at both the 2- to 4- week and 2- to 3- month time intervals (all p <.001).  Inter-rater reliability results indicate substantial levels or rater agreement for the Full Scale (r = .78, p <.001) and all CEFI Adult Scales (median r = .74, all p <.001), indicating very good levels of inter-rater reliability.  Validity studies demonstrate the test’s ability to differentiate individuals with a clinical diagnosis and those from the general population.

The CEFI Adult Technical Manual provides information on the CEFI Adult’s theoretical framework, psychometric properties and key features.  The CEFI Adult Manual also provides extensive information on administration, scoring and interpretation procedures.  To help guide users’ interpretation of results, three case studies are provided.
