This spreadsheet calculates a single test-taker's score on the

Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES). It also caculates the
Bayesian probability that the test-taker belongs in the DES
Taxon. Cell E30 computes the DES score by taking the mean of
all the DES item scores. Cell F30, which is labeled as the
"average DES-T," is actually the sum of the scores on the eight
taxon items, divided by the DES score in Cell E30. This
spreadsheet was written by Darryl Perry, who specified that it is
to remain in the public domain and that its source code is to be
distributed for free. The caculations in this workshop are a
translation of the SAS computer program that may be found in
the following article: Waller, N. G., & Ross, C. A. (1997). The
prevalence and biometric structure of pathological dissociation in
the general population: Taxometric and behavior genetic findings.
