Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology – Brief Report

The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) replaces the diagnostic categories of the DSM with dimensions everyone has some amount of. Its Brief Report scores the six broad spectra of the model: internalizing (anxiety, low mood), somatoform (bodily symptoms), detachment (withdrawal), thought disorder (unusual experiences), disinhibition (impulsivity) and antagonism (hostility, manipulation), plus an externalizing composite and a general psychopathology factor. 45 statements, compared with 780 US adults chosen to resemble the population by age and sex.

Think about the last 12 months: for each statement, pick how well it described you during the times it applied.
