Which type of assessment asks questions to gather information about behaviors?

The correct answer is the type of assessment that focuses on gathering information about behaviors through questions and self-reports. Indirect assessments are often conducted through interviews, questionnaires, and surveys, allowing individuals to provide insights about their own or others' behaviors without direct observation. This approach is valuable for understanding the context and perceptions surrounding specific behaviors, which can inform further analysis or intervention strategies.

Direct/descriptive assessment, functional analysis, and formative assessment serve different purposes. For example, direct assessments usually involve observation of behavior in real-time, while functional analysis assesses the specific functions or reasons behind behaviors through controlled experimentation. Formative assessments are focused on evaluating learning and teaching effectiveness, rather than specifically gathering insights on behaviors. Therefore, the indirect assessment is particularly suited for gathering subjective information about behaviors.
