The PIC-2 was designed to evaluate the emotional, behavioural, cognitive, and interpersonal adjustment of children and teens. It comprises 275 true/false items completed by the parent or caregiver, covering the following scales:

  • Cognitive impairment
  • Family dysfunction
  • Psychological discomfort
  • Impulsivity and distractability
  • Reality distortion
  • Social withdrawal
  • Deliquency
  • Somatic concern
  • Social skills deficits
  • Inconsistency
  • Dissimulation
  • Defensiveness

Two to three subscales make up each of the above adjustment scales.

Also available is a behavioural summary which comprises the first 96 items of the tests.

Requiring only 15 minutes to administer, it can be used for screening or monitoring change. For a comprehensive assessment, the PIC-2 provides the parent’s description of the child, the Personality Inventory for Youth provides the child’s self-report, and the Student Behaviour Survey (page 10) supplies a teacher rating.
