Each component is rated on a five-point Likert scale (‘very much like me’, ‘mostly like me’, ‘somewhat like me’, ‘not much like me’, ‘not like me at all’). Data are presented as median (interquartile range).
Since a high score in each component of ‘consistency of interest’ inversely indicates the low consistency, the score of each component in ‘consistency of interest’ is reverse weighted for the calculation.
