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. The original instrument has several items contributing to two subscales at once; this platform tags each item with only its primary subscale, since its schema supports one subscale per item.
