Extract

In a previous paper (Cheadle et al., 1967) we described a form in use in this hospital since 1961 for rating the work performance of psychiatric patients. The form was shown to possess adequate inter-rater reliability and predictive validity, but it had certain shortcomings which we have tried to remove in a revised version. This (Fig. 1) consists of 16 items of work behaviour each rated on a five point scale and scoreable by awarding o for each tick in the left hand column, 1 for each in the next column and so on, 4 being given for each tick in the right hand column. The lower the score the better the performance.
