The Social Role subscale contains 9 items, and scores range from 0 to 36. A total score (TOT) is calculated by summing the subscales, and scores range from 0 to 180. The instrument's administration and scoring manual provides thresholds for clinically significant distress and impairment, and for reliable change.
The stories are like short comic strips and placing them in order relies on the individual's ability to recognize the cause and effect relationship of events depicted in the cards. This task gives information about an individual's reasoning abilities, and performance is related to the ability to understand precursors and consequences of events.

These 3 items are added up to form the score for that item with help and pity being reverse scored. The subscales with the highest scores are the ones that are being endorsed by the subject.
Patients score significantly higher on all of the scales, as would be expected. In the development of the HDI, the validity of the subscales (e.g., Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse and Psychotic Thinking) was evaluated by comparing patients with these diagnoses to other patients and to non-patients. The results supported the validity of the ...
