Test Critique: Eating Disorder Inventory Angelic Mayers Stephen F. Austin State University Test Critique: Eating Disorder Inventory The Eating Disorder Inventory was developed in 1983 by David M.

The original Eating Disorder Inventory assessment was created for the sole purpose of evaluating the â€Å"psychological and behavioral traits common in anorexia nervosa and bulimia† (Garner, Olmstead, Polivy, p.15, 1983). The researchers wanted to develop yet another instrument aimed at eating disorders because the previous instruments were only used for inpatient clients or intended for the behavioral aspects of anorexia nervosa in particular.

They felt that they needed to develop an instrument to measure various other traits in order to properly treat individual s with eating disorders. The EDI is a personality assessment instrument and it is primarily used in a clinical setting to determine the potential presence of an eating disorder in a client (Garner, Olmstead, Polivy, p 173, 1983). The Eating Disorder Inventory can be administered to any individual that is 12 years old and over.
