APA Dictionary of Psychology

a self-administered rating-scale instrument used to measure DSM–IV–TR personality (Axis II) disorders, as well as five major clinical (Axis I) disorders and executive function. Developed in 1999, it comprises 225 items to which participants respond using a 4-point Likert scale ranging from strongly false (1) to strongly true (4). The CAB is a more comprehensive successor to the Coolidge Axis II Inventory. [Frederick L. Coolidge (1948–  ), U.S. neuropsychologist]
