Ciao Jeremy Very interesting to see! Thanks. I ran through the whole thing and completed all questions. It is a seriously real application! :-)
As a side note: The Anna Freud people designed the questions really well. It is extremely difficult to design such questionnaires in a way that makes sense in normal English AND can produce operational, quantitative, meaningful, results. Hats off to them!
