We would not recommend using only our measures for this purpose. Our focus is on normal development, so the instruments are not designed for use in diagnosis of psychological or psychiatric disorders. If you are interested in the relationships between temperament and psychopathology, we recommend that the temperament scales be used in conjunction with validated measures designed for the diagnosis of disorders. Correlations between measures may provide information about how aspects of temperament are related to forms of psychopathology.
