Governance, Boundaries & Ethical Use
Imported from the OpenScales open item-bank project. This specific digital implementation has not been independently clinically validated by PsiQ — scores are for self-reflection, research, and educational purposes only, and are not a diagnosis. The source instrument uses a semantic-differential format (opposing adjective pairs, e.g. "obstructive" vs "supportive") rather than agree/disagree statements; this implementation rephrases each pair as a single comparative statement so it fits this platform's standard agreement scale, preserving the original meaning of each item.
