Working out your LSM® score
Now carry over the weights of all
questions that you have marked as “True” to the last blank column an add them
up. If the number in this column is negative, be sure to subtract it from your
total, rather than adding it.
Next, subtract the constant of
0.442690 from your total score, to find your
final LSM® score.
Now determine your LSM® group:
