Four validity scales of KPI-C measure consistency and faithfulness of response, ego resiliency scale measure coping capacity of children to stress and 11 clinical scales measure problems of child related with development, emotion, behavior, interpersonal relation and reality testing. In reliability, KPI-C showed split half reliability around .70 and internal consistency around .75.
