For items 1, 2, 4, 6, and 9-11 on the Reviewing Your Beliefs About Knowledge questionnaire (Practice Exercise 2) give the following points for each item: A = -1; N = 0; D = + 1. For items 3, 5, 7, and 8, give the following points for each item: A = 1; N = 0; D = -1. The total score will range from - 11 through + 11. We have no norms for this measure, but we suggest the following rough interpretation:
Score:
+7 through +11
+3 through +6
-2 through +2
-3 through -6
-7 through -11
