Below are several statements with which you may agree or disagree. Using the response scale below‚ indicate your level of agreement or disagreement with each statement. Write your level of agreement in the left-hand column (e.g.‚ write one number‚ from 1-5‚ in the left hand column). You will use the right hand column to score once you have completed the survey.

In the empty column to the right‚ re-write your score.

For all even items (2‚ 4‚ 6‚ 8‚ 10‚ 12)‚ give yourself 1 point if you circled 5‚ 2 points if you circled 4‚ 3 points if you circled 3‚ 4 points if you circled 2‚ and 5 points if you circled 1.

For all the other questions‚ give yourself 5 points if you circled 5‚ 4 points if you 4‚ 3 points if you circled 3‚ 2 points if you circled 2‚ and 1 point if you circled 1.

For instance‚ for item #2 if you gave yourself a ‘4’ (meaning that you agree that you sometimes feel depressed)‚ then re-write a ‘2’ in the right hand column. If you gave yourself a ‘2’ for item #3‚ (meaning that you do disagree with the statement that when you try you generally succeed)‚ then you should re-write a ‘2’ in the right hand column.
