Contact patrickhehir@bvgintl.com METHODOLOGICAL NOTEThis assessment employs a summative Likert-type scale methodology (Likert, 1932), where six dimensions are each scored on a 5-point scale (1-5) and summed to create a composite score (range: 6-30). The five classification categories use equal intervals of 5 points each, treating the summative score as interval-level data consistent with established psychometric practice for multi-item Likert scales.
