Which instrument includes five informant forms: Teacher Rating Scale, Parent Rating Scale, Student Self-Report of Personality, Structured Developmental History, and Student Observation System?

• A. MSI-R
• B. BASC
• C. ASEBA
• D. SCL-90-R

Answer: (A)

This item tests understanding of a multi-informant school assessment design, where information comes from several perspectives to build a fuller picture of a student’s functioning. The instrument described is built around five distinct forms: a Teacher Rating Scale and a Parent Rating Scale to capture behavior across settings, a Student Self-Report of Personality to hear the student’s own perspective, a Structured Developmental History to document key developmental background, and a Student Observation System to record observed behavior in the classroom. This specific combination is characteristic of the MSI-R, which integrates these sources to inform understanding of a student’s strengths and challenges. Other options rely on different form configurations or emphasize primarily one type of report, so they don’t match this exact five-form structure.
