Adult Neuropsychological Questionnaire
Purpose: Designed to screen for brain dysfunction.
Population: Adults.
Time: (510) minutes.
Author: Fernando Melendez.
Publisher: Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc.
Description: The Adult Neuropsychological Questionnaire consists of 54 items designed to be administered as a semistructured interview. It can also
be selfadministered. The purpose of the questionnaire is to "inquire about complaints, symptoms, and signs that may suggest underlying brain
dysfunction or other organic conditions" (manual, p.1). It was developed initially as an aid for students who were not well versed in signs and
symptoms associated with neurologic conditions.
Scoring: The test manual is essentially an interpretive guide that contains a rationale for the items that have been included. The authors suggest that
formal assessment will often confirm or clarify the symptoms endorsed, although no data are presented to support this assertion.
Reliability and Validity: The manual contains no information on reliability or validity.
Norms: The manual contains no normative data.
Suggested Uses: Although designed to help students and nonneuropsychologist inquire about symptoms, history, or other complaints that may be
associated with neuropsychological disorders, reviewers discourage its use claiming poor organization and overinterpretations about the significance
and possible attribution of specific symptoms.
