SCL-90 Symptom Self-Rating Scale

What problem it solves

Psychological self-assessment tools often split questionnaires, scoring, factor interpretation, and norm references across different tables or documents. Users may skip the Chinese norm, misread factor scores, or treat self-test results as a diagnosis. The scl-90 skill organizes the 90-item Symptom Checklist as a repeatable assessment workflow, suitable for preliminary screening, result interpretation, and change tracking in chat or scripted workflows.

How the skill works

The skill is built around the 90-item SCL-90 self-rating scale. Its main capabilities include:
- scl-90 assessment: run the full 90-item assessment and produce a self-reference result.
- scl-90 quick: perform a faster screening pass with a lower onboarding cost.
- scl-90 factors: review factor explanations to understand symptom dimensions.
- scl-90 norm: check the Chinese norm to interpret scores in context.
- scl-90 history: save and review records for symptom change tracking.
- scl-90 crisis: access crisis resources when needed.

A typical flow is: choose an assessment mode, complete the items through input or interaction, read scores and factor explanations, then interpret the result against the Chinese norm; if concerns persist, seek professional counseling or diagnosis.

Boundaries

This skill is useful for self-assessment, pre-counseling screening, and monitoring change over time, but it does not replace professional psychological counseling, psychiatric diagnosis, or treatment. The material explicitly lists national crisis hotlines, the Beijing Crisis Research and Intervention Center, and the Lifeline hotline. If there are thoughts of self-harm or suicide, contact professional crisis support first instead of relying only on scale results.
