How to answer?
A stepwise procedure for answering and conditions or context:

Conditions:
- answer the questions from your experience without reference to periods of depression, unusually high anxiety or psychosis (including mania, if applicable) and not with reference to unusual outside circumstances;
- if your answer would be highly variable over time, even after considering the first condition, give an average/mean of all the scores/answers you could give, given your entire life thus far.

Steps to come to a score for each of the answers:
- start with 0 as your score;
- iff (only if) a question describes something that is more true for you than for most others, as far as you can tell, add 4 to your score;
- iff a question describes something that you find characteristic for you, add 2.
- iff a question describes something that you find more characteristic for you than most other characteristics you have, add 1.

If you feel you should deviate from this procedure to give a better, still more honest, answer, do so.

How to predict?

Conditions:
- all conditions previously mentioned apply;
- you predict what most other people with the same symptoms/syndrome/diagnosis as you would most likely answer, taking an average, as good as you can.

You may use the stepwise procedure for answering the questions for yourself, but applied not to yourself but to most of those that share your symptoms/syndrome, on average, as good as you can predict.

How to predict correlations?
There many correlations possible (45), so you may just predict some. I will give you a weighed score based on the strength of the correlation (don't mind the statistics). The normal strength will get you 8 points. Weak correlations will mean less points, stronger more points.

For any correlation you want to describe, please use the following notation:

[Q] -> [Q], for a normal/positive correlation (if the one answer is an high number, it is likely that the other is high as well).

[Q] -< [Q], for an inverse/negative correlation (if the one has a high number, the other likely has a low number and vice versa).

[Q] >-< [Q], for no correlation (a "pure chance" that the one is similar or dissimilar to the other; purely random).

Where [Q] is something like Name_4 or Icare_7.

Answer notation
Please use something like the following to describe your answer:
QuestionnaireId_2: 6
QuestionnaireId_3: 3


The order of your answers matters not.


That's it!
