Qualitative indicators
Qualitative indicators are shown in a similar file. However, in this case, there is no formula, and the assessment has to be made using identifications in various orientative scenarios that aid in placing them on a scale of 0 al 9. In each scenario (except in the case of "absent") there is a choice of three positions (one below, one central and one above) according to whether users identify fully with, slightly below or slightly above the situation described.
