ABSTRACT
This chapter is a comprehensive reference manual providing information on the Executive Interview (EXIT25), which is combination of an objective, clinician-administered test, along with behavioural observations. It was developed to provide a brief, clinically based, bedside screen of executive control functions. The aims of the EXIT25 are to identify the presence and severity of executive impairments, predict everyday problems in self-care and functional abilities, and predict problem behaviours resulting from executive dyscontrol. A brief history of the instrument's development is provided, along with a description of item content and administration/scoring procedures. Psychometric properties are reviewed and a critical commentary is provided. Key references are cited and in most cases the actual scale is included, giving the reader easy access to the instrument.
