The Schedule for Nonadaptive and Adaptive Personality (SNAP) is a self-reporting questionnaire for assessment of personality disorders (Axis II of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) [1] introduced in 1993 by Lee Anna Clark. [2] It is not to be confised with SNAP-IV — the Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham Rating Scale, rev. 4.[3]

Initially it was compiled from the DSM-III criteria, which were grouped into 15 scales. Twelve of them assess maladaptive personality: mistrust, self-harm, eccentric perceptions, aggression, manipulativeness, entitlement, detachment, exhibitionism, dependency, impulsivity, workaholism, propriety, and three assess rather broad traits: negative temperament, positive temperament, disinhibition, [4]
