Mini Inventory of Right Brain Injury (MIRBI-2)

MIRBI­2 lets you quickly screen clients for neurocognitive deficits associated with right hemisphere lesions. Its development meets the need for a brief, standardized, right-brain injury screening instrument that yields severity levels for deficit areas. Test reviews and professionals’ comments from the field were incorporated into the new edition.

New Features:
• More data were collected on normal, right, and left brain injured individuals,
• The number of cases in the interscorer reliability study was increased and relevant analyses were conducted on the expanded dataset,
• Many new validity studies have been conducted,
• A principal components factor analysis was performed to test construct validity of the items,
• Each item in the test was reevaluated using conventional item analysis to establish the underlying statistical foundation,
• A revised Right­Left Differential Scale was created with an updated cutoff score for right brain impairment,
• A table for converting raw scores to percentiles and stanine scores was added,
• The rationale has been updated to reflect current trends in neuropsychology,
• The test booklet was revised to include more user-friendly areas for recording patient information, as well as revised criteria for scoring patient responses,
• A tear-off response pad has been added for additional convenience, featuring a response sheet for items 1 and 2 on one side, and the Reading Ability paragraph for completion of items 7 and 8 on the other,
• A caliper is included for convenience and to standardize administration across examiners.
