Adaptive Behavior Scale (ABS) Part One ratings by one rater who completed the entire scale was compared with the composite rating by a group of raters, each of whom completed only a portion of the ABS. Individual and composite ratings were obtained for 40 retarded clients. In using total scores, we found that composite ratings were significantly higher than individual ratings.
