NIS (Neuropsychological Impairment Scale)
Authors: William E. O'Donnell, PhD, MPH, Clinton B. DeSoto, PhD,
Janet L. DeSoto, EdD, and Don McQ. Reynolds, PhD
A brief, self-report test that helps screen adults for neuropsychological symptoms.
The NIS assessment can help elicit diagnostically relevant information that patients often fail to mention in a clinical interview.
Key Features
- An alternative version of the assessment, the observer report, can be completed by a relative or
close friend of the patient, providing a different perspective on the patient’s symptoms.
- The test also offers the Senior Interview version—40 questions read by the examiner—with the
patient indicating responses on a large-print visual cue card.
