Barratt scale (BIS) is an assessment tool often used to evaluate impulsivity. In this study, an analysis of the psychometric properties of the BIS 11 c scale Ecuadorian adolescent students (N = 245) is performed. Internal consistency through Cronbach’s alpha coefficient and homogeneity of the items were evaluated. For assessing the construct validity we perform a confirmatory factor analysis. The results obtained were acceptable parameters of valid and reliability to use the BIS 11 c scale in Ecuadorian adolescents.
