For the first three questions numerical values are assigned to each category, so that the scale is concentrated into 5 values, as follows:
1 corresponding to Always
3 corresponding to Most of the time
5 corresponding to Sometimes
7 corresponding to Almost never
9 corresponding to Never
For the last two questions this is reversed, to maintain coherence with the previous questions, so the following numerical values are assigned:
9 corresponding to Always
7 corresponding to Most of the time
5 corresponding to Sometimes
3 corresponding to Almost never
1 corresponding to Never
The evaluation measure is grouped into three levels: From 0 to 4 points (Low), from 5 to 7 points (Medium) and from 8 to 10 points (High).
