Governance, Boundaries & Ethical Use
Imported from the OpenScales open item-bank project. The original scoring measures agreement level, not factual accuracy against a correct-answer key (the source study does not publish one) — higher scores reflect stronger endorsement of each statement, not medical correctness. This specific digital implementation has not been independently validated by PsiQ. Not medical advice.
