Fictional example: Devin rates readiness as four and explains what makes it more than one.

Use an ordinary or fictional example, with a clinician when appropriate. A scale is a conversation aid rather than a validated score.

1. Choose a workable example

Use the fictional example below or an ordinary situation of your choosing. Keep identifying details out of shared copies.

2. Try the practice

Define both ends of a personal scale, choose a current position, and describe what supports it.

3. Compare possibilities

Generate at least two interpretations or options. Mark what you know, what you are guessing, and what remains outside your control.

4. Decide together

What does your chosen number mean in everyday behavior? Choose one small action, a support request, or no action. Review the fit with your clinician when relevant.
