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 generic {topic} placeholder for whichever language is being studied; this implementation fixes it to "English," the most common use case for this scale.
