TEST SCALING, SCORING, AND
INTERPRETING.
The test employs cumulative scoring to assess its various components. In the
Selected Response Format (Part 1), a Likert Scale with five alternative
responses is utilized (1-Never, 2-Rarely, 3-Sometimes, 4-Often, 5-Always).
Scores are obtained by summing up the responses for each item.
Interpreting the scores involves understanding the pattern of responses.
Higher scores on "Never" and "Rarely" suggest that the corresponding items
are less concerning or impactful to the individual. Conversely, higher scores
on "Sometimes," "Often," and "Always" indicate that these items have a more
pronounced effect across different aspects of the individual's self-sabotaging
tendencies.
Similarly, in the binary choice section (Part 2), points are accumulated for
each "Yes" or "No" answer. Interpretation relies on discerning the tendency
of responses. If the scores lean toward "No," it suggests that the items do not
significantly affect the individual. Conversely, a tendency toward "Yes"
indicates that these items have an observable impact on the individual,
Multiple choice item (Part 3) Guttman scale is used for this part meaning
that the order is arranged so that if a respondent agrees with a statement,
they will also agree with all of the statements that fall below it in extremity.
Point per statement: A-1 point B-2 points C-3 points D-4 points.TEST USERS
