Dr. Bob - Babblemeter scoring

Dr. Bob,

I know the SF-36 and the CES-D are not intended for diagnostic purposes, but it would be helpful if you could include a scale for us to interpret our results. The Babblemeter is a good addition to the site. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, there's already been some discussion of that, see:

I have a question about this too. I just completed it for the second time and I was comparing scores from last month to this time--for the few questions such as "I feel happy" (or "I feel just as good as other people")--are the scores inverted--ie, a high score really means that I DON'T feel happy?

It was the depression scale.

Yes, in each case, higher scores suggest more (or more severe) depressive symptoms...
