Certain behaviors within these traits are assigned a score, from 0 to 3, based on how strongly theyreflect a trait. Review the behavior evaluation and, for each sub-test, enter the highest score for each trait. Do not add scores, use only the behavior which received the highest score. Forexample, if a dog both licked and sniffed the person in Sub-Test 2, you would enter a score of 3 for Friendliness for Sub-Test 2 as lick receives a higher score than sniff.Handler :______________________________ Recorder :_____________________________Fr=Friendly, Fe=Fearful.
