AB  - AIMS: This study sought to address two questions: (1) what is the inter-rater 
      reliability of the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX) when completed by patients, 
      their significant others, and clinicians; and (2) does the factor structure of 
      the DEX vary for these three groups? METHODS: We obtained DEX ratings for 113 
      patients with an acquired brain injury from two brain injury services in the UK 
      and two services in Ireland. We gathered data from two groups of 
      raters-"significant others" (DEX-SO) such as partners and close family members 
      and "clinicians" (DEX-C), who were psychologists or rehabilitation physicians 
      working closely with the patient and who were able to provide an opinion about 
      the patient's level of everyday executive functioning. Intra-class correlation 
      coefficients and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated between each of 
      the three groups (self, significant other, clinician). Principal axis factor 
      (PAF) analyses were also conducted for each of the three groups. RESULTS: The 
      factor analysis revealed a consistent one-factor model for each of the three 
      groups of raters. However, the inter-rater reliability analyses showed a low 
      level of agreement between the self-ratings and the ratings of the two groups of 
      independent raters. We also found low agreement between the significant others 
      and the clinicians. CONCLUSION: Although there was a consistent finding of a 
      single factor solution for each of the three groups, the low level of agreement 
      between significant others and clinicians raises a question about the reliability 
      of the DEX.
