Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the temperament of children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). A separate profile analysis was performed on each of the temperament scales of the Temperament Assessment Battery for Children Parent and Teacher Forms (Martin, 1988). The results demonstrated that parents and teachers rate the temperament of children classified as ADHD and normal children differently. In addition, parents and teachers tended to be consistent in their ratings of children classified as ADHD, resulting in similar profile patterns on each form of the TABC. Therefore, children with ADHD appear to display similar patterns of temperament at home and at school. Parents and teachers both reported that children classified as ADHD tended to display temperaments with high activity levels, high distractibility, and low persistence, which is consistent with the ADHD diagnostic criteria.
