Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function®, Second Edition

BRIEF2 retains the established assessment framework while giving qualified practitioners more flexibility in norm selection, integrated ADHD evaluation content, and a streamlined digital scoring workflow.

• Flexible norm selection. Choose age- and sex-based or age-based (combined-sex) norms at the time of scoring, with guidance in the Professional Manual.
• Integrated ADHD content. ADHD evaluation content is included in the BRIEF2 Professional Manual, reducing the need to manage separate materials. 
• Digital scoring. Score all forms through PARiConnect to eliminate manual norm lookup and generate reports efficiently.

Turn ratings into a structured view of executive function that supports next-step clinical decisions.

• Assessment structure. Parent and Teacher Forms assess nine clinical scales organized within the Behavior Regulation, Emotion Regulation, and Cognitive Regulation indexes, plus the Global Executive Composite.
• Score Report. Includes validity results, index T scores and percentiles, score summaries, a score profile, and item responses.
• Interpretive Report. Includes Score Report content plus interpretive text for clinical scales, indexes, composites, and validity scores.
• Optional content. The Score Report can include an optional ADHD profile. The Interpretive Report can include executive function interventions, an ADHD-focused section with a score profile, classification metrics, and a DSM-5-TR symptom crosswalk, and an autism section with classification metrics.
• Built-in validity checks. Three validity scales, Inconsistency, Negativity, and Infrequency, help detect response bias.

BRIEF2 combines multiple viewpoints to assess executive function across the settings where children and adolescents live and learn.

• Parent Form. 63 items; ages 5–18. Captures a caregiver’s perspective on everyday executive function behaviors.
• Teacher Form. 63 items; ages 5–18. Captures how executive function behaviors present in school and learning environments.
• Self-Report Form. 55 items; ages 11–18. Captures the adolescent’s own perspective, with seven clinical scales that parallel the Parent and Teacher Forms.
• Screening Forms. 12 items per rater, approximately 5 minutes. Available digitally through PARiConnect to help determine whether a more comprehensive assessment may be appropriate.

Start with how you plan to administer the assessment, then select the kit and report option that fit your workflow.

• Digital administration and scoring. Start with a BRIEF2 Digital Administration Kit. Select the rater type in PARiConnect when you administer the assessment.
• Administer with print forms. Start with a BRIEF2 Print Administration Kit. Forms are completed on paper; scoring and report generation are completed through PARiConnect.
• Digital screener. Select the BRIEF2 Screening Form Digital Administration Kit. Requires an S-level qualification to purchase. The 12-item Screening Forms can help determine whether a more comprehensive assessment may be appropriate.
• Guidance for interpretation. Choose a Score Report option for score outputs and a profile without interpretive narrative. Choose an Interpretive Report option for interpretive narrative alongside those results. Intervention Handouts are also available as a separate purchase.
• Purchasing for more than one rater type. For digital administration, i-Admins apply across all rater types, including Spanish forms, so you choose Parent, Teacher, or Self-Report at the time of administration rather than at purchase. Print kits include a fixed quantity of each rater type's forms.
• Subscription Pricing for school districts. Digital subscription pricing as low as $350 per psychologist annually. Talk to us about your district's needs. Call customer support 800.331.8378 or email cs@parinc.com
