Description
The Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (ICU) Teacher Report version is a 24-item, self-administered questionnaire that includes three subscales: callousness, uncaring, and unemotional. Each item is rated on a 4-point Likert scale: 0 = not at all true; 1 = somewhat true; 2 = very true; 3 = definitely true. Items are added together to give a total score, with higher scores indicating a greater degree of callous-unemotional traits.
