Sample Scale Development Guide

To help you create your personal 1-10 scale, consider what each level might feel like:

1 - "Not Developed at All"

• What color, feeling, or metaphor represents this starting point?

2-3 - "Beginning Stages or Unclear"

• What represents "not developed" for you?

• How does disconnection or uncertainty feel?

4-6 - "In Progress, Some Development Present"

• What does "middle ground" feel like for you?

• How do you experience partial development?

7-9 - "Mostly There, Minor Adjustments Needed"

• How does this feel different from your "10"?

• What sensations or colors represent this level?

10 - "Exactly How I Want It"

• What color represents this perfect state?

• What does it feel like in your body?

• What metaphor or image captures this feeling?

• What words or phrases resonate?

Remember: Your scale is completely personal. Use whatever sensory language, metaphors, colors, or feelings resonate with your unique ADHD brain.
