The inter‐rater and test‐retest reliabilities, and intemal consistencies of the Reiss Screen for Maladaptive Behavior (Reiss 1987) were evaluated on a random sample of adults with moderate through profound mental retardation living in an institutional setting. Generally, the Reiss Screen showed good inter‐rater reliability, modest to good test‐retest and good intemal consistency. This suggests that the Reiss Screen has moderate to good psychometric robustness.
