Governance, Boundaries & Ethical Use

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. Item 15 is genuinely absent from the source instrument's numbering (it jumps from 14 to 16) — preserved as a real gap rather than an invented item, so the scale has 20 items, not 21.
