General Description

ATQ is a self-report instrument composed of 15 items organised into 3 subscales of thymic states (Hyperthymic, Cyclothymic and Dysthymic). Each item is rated in a 3-point scale (0=not at all; 1=somewhat; 2=very much so), thus having a score between 0-30.

Hyperthymic= item 1+ item 2+ item 3+ item 4+ item 5.

Cyclothymic= item 6+ item 7+ item 8+ item 9+ item 10.

Dysthymic= item 11+ item 12 + item 13 + item 14.
