Percept Mot Skills. 1987 Oct;65(2):593-4. doi: 10.2466/pms.1987.65.2.593.

Abstract

The test-retest reliabilities of the Profile of Mood States when items were read aloud on consecutive days to 15 nationally ranked visually impaired athletes ranged from .78 to .95, so the scale can be used with visually impaired athletes who cannot complete the profile in the traditional written manner.
