TI  - Awareness of executive functioning deficits in multiple sclerosis: self versus 
      informant ratings of impairment.

AB  - This study investigates the accuracy of self and informant ratings of executive 
      dysfunction in a multiple sclerosis (MS) and control sample. Participants 
      completed a neuropsychological battery. Participants and informants completed 
      depression measures and the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX). MS participants 
      rated themselves more impaired than controls, while informants' ratings were not 
      statistically different. MS participants' performance on executive tasks was more 
      highly correlated with self than informant DEX ratings. Discrepancies between 
      informant DEX ratings and executive performance were related to executive 
      functioning for the MS participants only. Overall, results indicate that MS 
      patients were able to accurately rate their executive functioning.
