The moment you click Submit on the final Likert page, your browser is redirected to /finish/ and your scores are computed server-side in real time. There is no waiting period — the results page loads fully populated with your scores the first time you see it. This page explains how those scores are calculated, how the results page is structured, and how you can return to your results at any time using your original license key.

​
How Scores Are Calculated

Scoring happens in three layers: sub-category averages, broad-category averages, and an overall score. All computation takes place in finish/index.php immediately on page load.

​
Sub-Category Scores

For each of the 24 sub-categories, the server collects all LikertAnswer rows linked to that sub-category (via sub_category_id1 or sub_category_id2 on the LikertQuestion table) and applies the following algorithm:
1

Separate N/A answers

Any answer stored as 6 (N/A) is counted separately and excluded from the sum.
2

Check the N/A threshold

The minimum number of required non-N/A answers is set to 1 for sub-categories with only 2 questions, or 2 for all larger sub-categories. If the number of N/A answers exceeds this threshold — that is, if more than the minimum of the sub-category’s questions were skipped — the entire sub-category is assigned a score of N/A (stored internally as -1).
3

Compute the average

If the N/A threshold is not exceeded, the non-N/A answers are summed and divided by the count of non-N/A answers. The result is rounded to the nearest integer.
4

Store the result

The computed score (or -1 for N/A) is inserted into the SubCategoryResult table.

SELECT LikertAnswer.answer
FROM LikertAnswer
JOIN LikertQuestion
  ON LikertAnswer.question_id = LikertQuestion.id
 AND LikertQuestion.sub_category_id1 = :sub_id
 AND LikertAnswer.license_id = :license_id;

​
Broad-Category Scores

After all sub-category scores are stored, the server computes a score for each broad category by averaging the sub-category scores that belong to it, excluding any sub-categories marked N/A.
Broad CategorySub-Category IDs Included
Symptomatology1, 2, 3
Contributing Factors4 through 24
If every sub-category in a broad category is N/A, the broad category itself is scored N/A.

​
Overall Score

An overall score is computed by averaging all non-N/A sub-category scores across both broad categories combined.

​
Score Display Format

Scores are stored as plain integers in SubCategoryResult and BroadCategoryResult — not as percentage values. The integer range happens to be 0–100 (because LikertAnswer stores responses on a 0–100 scale; see the Likert Section), and a % suffix is appended at display time by the PHP template. A stored value of 75 therefore appears as 75% on screen. A stored value of -1 is displayed as the string N/A rather than a number.

​
Results Page Structure

The results page at /finish/ is organized as a navigable document. A table of contents at the top links directly to each section so you can jump to any category without scrolling through the entire page. 
Table of Contents
├── Overall
├── Category Scoring (explanatory introduction)
├── Symptomatology
│   ├── Physical Symptoms
│   ├── Cognitive Symptoms
│   └── Behavioral Symptoms
└── Contributing Factors
    ├── Student-Teacher Relationship
    ├── Sense of Belonging at School/Career
    └── … (all 21 sub-categories)
Each section of the results page contains four elements pulled from the database:
ElementSource
Category nameLikertAnswerSubCategory.category or LikertAnswerBroadCategory.category
Explanatory texttext_area1 — describes what the category measures
Your scoreComputed result from SubCategoryResult or BroadCategoryResult
Interpretation texttext_area2 — contextualizes what your score means
A Top link at the end of each section lets you return to the table of contents instantly.

​
Key Deactivation

When you reach /finish/ for the first time, your license key is permanently deactivated. The server executes UPDATE License SET active = false WHERE id = :license_id before computing your scores. This means you cannot retake the questionnaire using the same key. A deactivated key can still be used to view your saved results, but it will no longer grant access to the demographic or Likert sections.

​
Data Stored After Completion

Your results are saved permanently in two tables: 
SubCategoryResult
├── license_id       (FK → License.id)
├── sub_category_id  (FK → LikertAnswerSubCategory.id)
└── result           INT  (integer: -1 = N/A, 0–100 = computed score)

BroadCategoryResult
├── license_id        (FK → License.id)
├── broad_category_id (FK → LikertAnswerBroadCategory.id)
└── result            INT  (integer: -1 = N/A, 0–100 = computed score)
Because results are stored rather than recomputed on every visit, your scores will be identical every time you return to view them.

​
Revisiting Your Results

You can view your completed results at any time by entering your license key on the MPADQ home page. The application detects that the key is deactivated and already has results stored, then redirects you straight to /finish/ to display your saved scores. You do not need to retake any part of the questionnaire.
