How to read your scores
Each dimension is scored out of its own maximum (e.g. 16/25 = 16 points out of 25 for that dimension). The higher the score, the more that dimension is present. Below each bar, a label (low / moderate / high) and a clinical interpretation explain what your score means. The overall score sums every dimension.Overall score
