The Neuropsychological Impairment Scale—Senior (NIS‐S) is a 30‐item, orally administered questionnaire for geriatric patients about symptoms of cognitive impairment, affective disturbance, and defensiveness. Clinical and nonclinical norms are described along with validity and reliability information. A procedure is presented for comparing a patient's self‐reported cognitive impairment with scores on performance testing, which gauges whether the patient is over‐ or under‐reporting cognitive deficits. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
