Hi Ariana,
I did find these maximum values for the ASR raw scoring:

  *   ASR internalizing (maximum score for raw scores) = 78
  *   ASR externalizing (maximum score for raw scores) =70
  *   ASR anxiety and depression (maximum score for raw scores) = 36
  *   DSM depression (maximum score for raw scores) (from ASR) = 28
  *   DSM anxiety (maximum score for raw scores) (from ASR) = 14

I'm still working on trying to find the maximum values for the NIH Toolbox 
measures. You are right that scores available for download from ConnectomeDB 
are unadjusted scale scores and age-adjusted scale scores. If you are looking 
at the raw Toolbox data the scoring is not scaled and you may have to ask the 
Toolbox helpdesk for more information ([email protected]). 

It may also be that since many of the Toolbox measures are computer-adaptive 
tests in which a subject's responses change what questions they are given for 
the rest of the test, there may not be a good answer for the maximum score 
possible. Looking at the Scoring Guide again, the Toolbox people would likely 
advise that you consider the scores scaled to their norming sample rather than 
an absolute max. In any case, I should be able to get you the highest scores 
that an HCP subject had for the tests for which you are interested.

Best,
Jenn

Subject: Maximum values for cognitive scores

Hello,

I am trying to find the maximum scores for many of the cognitive/emotional 
tests administered to the HCP subjects. I have read the manual for the NIH 
toolbox and I cannot link their scoring system to the scores given by the HCP. 
From what I can tell, the HCP is providing the "Unadjusted Scale Scores", which 
is detailed on page 3 of the 2012 version of the NIH toolbox scoring and 
interpretation guide (attached in this email).
I was wondering what the maximum possible values are for the tests listed 
below. We have looked at the NIH toolbox manual and interpretation guide, the 
HCP data dictionary, and the ASEBA website (http://www.aseba.org/adults.html), 
but have not been able to find this information.

I need this information for the following scores:

  *   Picture Sequence
  *   List Sorting
  *   ASR internalizing (maximum score for raw scores)
  *   ASR externalizing (maximum score for raw scores)
  *   ASR anxiety and depression (maximum score for raw scores)
  *   perceived stress
  *   DSM depression (maximum score for raw scores)
  *   DSM anxiety (maximum score for raw scores)
  *   Positive Affect
  *   Self Efficiency
  *   Anger Affect
  *   Fear Affect
  *   Sadness Affect

Thanks,
