    The document provides a self-assessment questionnaire to rate how well certain statements describe oneself using a 6-point rating scale.

    The rating scale ranges from 1 to 6, with 1 being 'Completely untrue of me' and 6 being 'Describes me perfectly'.

    Some statements being rated include 'I try not to think about things that upset me', 'I am happy most of the time', and 'I withdraw when I'm sad'.
