FSIQ, Full Scale IQ; GEC (BRIEF-A), General Executive Composite from the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function for Adults; MI, Metacognition Index; BRI, Behavioral Regulation Index; HSCL-25, Hopkins Symptom Checklist-25; ASRS-v1.1, Adult ADHD Self Report Scale version 1.1. BRIEF-A provides T-scores, a normally distributed scale with M = 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. Higher BRIEF-A scores represent higher levels of executive complaints.
