Clinical scales and dimension tests
9spectrum is not an official reproduction of these instruments. Question language is derived from DSM-5-TR / ICD-11 frameworks and widely used screening inventory dimensions. There is no fixed quiz list: based on your answers, the system changes questions to home in on the result; when two dimensions overlap, differential follow-ups open.
