   MS Neurological Screening Questionnaire (MSNQ) by Ralph Benedict   
   This questionnaire when completed by either a patient to an individual well-acquainted
   with the patient's neuropsychological status, is an effective screening tool to identify
   cognitive dysfunction in the clinical setting. The MSNQ should not replace formal
   neuropsychology evaluation, but rather be used to identify people likely to have
   impairments.
