Loss of judgment is a consequence of the dementing process, as executive functions that permit complex, goal-directed behavior progressively fail. Unfortunately, there are a limited number of validated clinical measures to assess judgment and no informant rating scales—even though neuropsychologists overwhelmingly report gathering data from significant others when assessing patients’ judgment ability. We developed an informant-report measure to complement the increasingly used objective Test of Practical Judgment (TOP-J). Based on review of the literature and existing informant report measures, we generated items that enable informants to report compromised judgment in areas tapped by the TOP-J (safety, medical, financial, social-ethical). After item refinement and piloting on informants of patients form a memory disorders clinic, we added the 15-item Likert-type measure to neuropsychological batteries of older adult patients at two clinics in the Midwestern U.S. The sample included 189 patient and informant dyads (mean age = 79.0, mean years of education = 13.8, %female = 67.7) with: subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia. We found psychometric support, including evidence for convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity, and internal consistency. Importantly, the TOP-J-Informant discriminated between diagnostic groups in the expected direction. Overall, the TOP-J-Informant is brief (<5 minutes), easy to administer, and well-tolerated by informants. We discuss its potential utility to reveal areas of concern related to poor judgment when administered in the context of a neuropsychological evaluation or clinic visit.
