Although the CBCL does not require administration by a clinician, someone with at least a graduate-level degree—that included coursework in standardized assessments—should administer it. The tool requires approximately 15 minutes for administration.
The CBCL form is self-explanatory and includes biographical and general functioning questions as well as 113 statements that are rated as not true ( score 0), somewhat/sometimes true (score 1), or very true/often true (score 2).
