Why is it important?

Three subscales were detected in the ATMS-S: the time management subscale with 11 items, the organization and planning subscale with 11 items and the subscale of regulation of emotions with 5 items, all with excellent to acceptable psychometric properties. ATMS-S is a valid instrument for self-rating of time management, organization & planning and for regulation of emotions. ATMS-S can be useful for persons with mental disorders including mild neurodevelopmental disorders.
