The DES score is the average of all the questions. Therefore, the smallest score is 0, and the maximum score is 100. To figure this out for yourself, score each question by dropping the zero from the percentage of each response, for example, 30% = 3; 80% = 8, and then add these values together.

Commonly asked questions
The total scores can be between 0 and 100, where scores of 30 or more indicate high levels of dissociation.
The A-DES is scored by summing item scores and dividing by 30 (number of items). The overall score ranges from 0 to 10. A-DES scores of 4 or greater suggest pathological levels of dissociation, and further evaluation is warranted.
