Construct Boundaries & Interpretive Limitations

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's own item numbering has gaps (items 4, 8, 19, and 20 do not exist in the published 22-item version) — preserved as-is rather than renumbered or padded.
