Reliability diagnosis (0.70 ≤ k 0.75) was good ADHD, ODD, CD, OAD, excellent MDD SAD. Because low base-rate, no kappa value calculated SPh. Both agreement, symptom scale (0.75 ICC≤0.80) very all 7 diagnoses. Internal according (0.78≤ Cronbach α≤O.90), moderate SPh, MDD, SAD, ADHD. The Terry is culturally-sensitive questionnaire with reliability.
