A study was conducted to determine the interrater reliability and the inter-informant reliability of two rating scales commonly used with schizophrenic patients. Both scales were completed by two informants for each of 45 schizophrenics. The Levels of Functioning Scale, which measures current social functioning, gave consistent results both between raters and between informants. The Premorbid Asocial Adjustment Scale, which measures social functioning during childhood and adolescence, produced very high reliability between raters but very poor reliability between informants. This suggests that much of the data collected about premorbid adjustment of schizophrenic patients are not accurate and that attempts to correlate reported premorbid adjustment with biological measures may be invalid. Ways of increasing the reliability and validity of premorbid adjustment measures are discussed.
