O/T interesting test for measuring impulsiveness

[Guest guest]

Hello, All.

In researching ways to help my Hg-poisoned husband, who has psychological

symptoms

including ADD-like problems and impulsivity, I came across this. You may be

interested

to know how I came across it: I was researching carbamazepine since AI mentions

it can

help with impulsivity, and when I googled " carbamazepine impulsivity, " a lot of

psychiatric

articles came up, which discussed this " Barratt Imulsivity Scale. "

It's a really simple, self-administered, 30 question test. I printed out a copy

for my

husband and I to take. Browse the site impulsivity.org. The guy who created it

is Barratt.

Points go this way: Rarely/Never=1. Occasionally=2. Often=3. Almost

Always/Always=4.

For those on this webgroup at the beginning of your chelation journey, like we

are,

perhaps it would be interesting to get a baseline score for the Hg-poisoned

person when

you're just beginning the chelation, and then take the test again periodically

after going

through quite a few rounds, to see how long it takes before your score improves

on this

Impulsivity Test.

I like this idea a lot, because it could potential help us gauge the

effectiveness of Andy's

protocol on a person struggling with Impulsivity. It would also be VERY

interesting if

people could take a baseline score in the beginning, and then see HOW MUCH

TIME/HOW

MANY ROUNDS of ALA before the score on this test begins improving!!

Anybody interested?
