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. Items 8, 9, 12, and 13 are worded as anti-procrastination behavior and are reverse-scored so a higher total still reflects greater procrastination.
