Executive Function Index EFI

The Executive Function Index (EFI) is a self-assessment tool designed to evaluate various aspects of executive functioning, including motivational drive, organization, strategic planning, impulse control, and empathy. Participants respond to a series of statements on a scale from 1 to 5, indicating the frequency of their behaviors. Scoring involves reverse-scoring certain items and summing the responses to assess overall executive functioning, with higher scores indicating better performance.
