The NIH Toolbox Anger Survey is a self-report measure for ages 8-17 as well as a parent-report measure for ages 3-12. It assesses angry mood and aggression (verbal and physical). The self-report version is a 6-item fixed length form; the parent-report version for ages 8 to 12 uses a CAT format; and the parent-report version for ages 3 to 7 is a 9-item fixed length form. For the self-report version, each item administered has a 5-point scale with options ranging from never toalmost always. The parent-report CAT for ages 8 to 12 utilizes a 4-point scale ranging fromalmost never' toalmost always, while the parent-report version for ages 3 to 7 has a 3-point scale, ranging from never or not true to often or very true. Higher scores are indicative of more child anger.

Choose the answer that best describes your child, or shows how your child usually feels: My child gets very impatient if he/she has to wait for something.
