Assess your responses by counting the number of times you responded ‘‘Nearly Always’’ and multiply that number by 3. Multiply the number of times you responded ‘‘Sometimes’’ by 2, and the number of times you responded ‘‘rarely’’ by 1. Then add the resulting three numbers for a total score.
Nearly Always (number of responses) _ 3 _
Sometimes (number of responses) _ 2 _
Rarely (number of responses) _ 1 _
