editA problem in the literature has been that some individuals have erroneously referred to the scale in this manner, causing confusion in the field. Dr. Ernest Barratt’s perspective was that “impulsiveness” is personality trait, that is a stable pattern of behavior observable across time and situations. The BIS-11 is designed to test just this type of stable personality trait. However, the term “impulsivity”, is state, that fluctuates across time or situations, which the BIS-11 was not designed to assess.
