FCAI Scoring and Interpretation
- Subjects who respond to the tool are required to assign a true or false response to the 60 items on the tool.
- Give one point for the number of “False” answers to the odd-numbered questions and one point for the number of “True” answers to the even-numbered questions to get score.
- Responses yield numerical scores that indicate whether the respondent has few (under 20), mild to moderate (21 to 30), moderate to severe (31 to 45) or severe (over 45) codependent concerns.
| FCAI Score | Codependent Concerns |
|---|---|
Below 20 | Few |
21 - 30 | Mild to Moderate |
31 - 45 | Moderate to Severe |
46 or over | Severe |
PsyPack can automatically score the FCAI assessment and prepare corresponding tables and graphs.
