Tools and method
How NeuroIride works
Twelve areas in four families, questionnaires established in the literature, a common scale for reading them together.
Social and sensory
- AutismAQ-10, RAADS-14, AQ, RAADS-R, BAPQ
- Affective/cognitive empathyQCAE, a bipolar axis showing which component prevails, with the level of each relative to the average
- High sensitivityHSPS, a temperament trait
- Sensory profileGSQ
Learning and motor skills
- DyslexiaARQ, ARHQ
- Dyscalculiaexternal performance tests, entered in the profile
- DyspraxiaADC
- Language/Fluencyexternal performance tests, entered in the profile
Adjustment
- Adjustment difficultiesADNM-8, ADNM-20, list of life events and grid linking them to the profile
Outside the chart, in dedicated boxes, you will find the cross-cutting indicators (social masking with CAT-Q, alexithymia with TAS-20, interoceptive awareness with MAIA-2) and the contextual factors (mood with PHQ-9, anxiety with GAD-7, social anxiety with LSAS, automatic thoughts with ATQ-30), which can influence all the other scores.
How to read the chart
Every score is converted to a 0 to 100 scale on which 50 is the instrument's threshold. There are three bands: average up to 40, watch zone between 40 and 60, above threshold beyond 60. A filled dot means the area was assessed with a full test, an empty dot with screening only. An area that has not been assessed breaks the line and is never treated as zero.
The empathy axis works differently: it has no threshold. A value of 50 means that cognitive empathy (understanding other people's emotions) and affective empathy (feeling and sharing them) are balanced; above 60 cognitive empathy prevails, below 40 affective empathy. The levels of the two components are read separately.
One caveat always goes with the chart: the shape of the coloured area also depends on the order of the spokes. That is why the value on each individual axis is what needs to be read.
Administration
The clinician reads the questionnaires aloud and enters the answers, with the person present. The session starts with the screenings; when one goes above its threshold, the platform suggests the full test for the same area. An interrupted session can be resumed, tests can be added later, and different sessions for the same person can be compared.
Once the session is closed, the answers are locked: every correction requires a reason and keeps the original value.
Explanations and reports
For every instrument the platform shows the raw score, the threshold used (including when it differs by sex), a note for the professional and a plain-language text for feedback. The report for the person is designed to be printed: no technical jargon, one sentence per area, and the comments and signature of the responsible professional.
Privacy
Every person is identified by a code. First name, surname, date of birth and contact details are encrypted and kept separate from the assessment data; they can only be viewed by stating a reason, and every viewing is recorded in the access log. Researchers work exclusively on pseudonymised data. Access requires personal credentials and, for the most sensitive roles, a second authentication factor. The data are stored on servers in the European Union.
