2. Are you more or less tired than the person next to you?
3. Is your pain constantly or intermittently excruciating?
4. Do your muscles fasciculate wildly some of the time or all of the time?
5. Is your heart broken literally or metaphorically?
6. Where did the energy in your feet go?
7. How many remedies have you tried, in baker’s dozens?

10. What is the distance between what you have and what you need, in furlongs? 

Match the activity to the recovery time by drawing a dashed line:

On a scale of 7 to 13 (circle one):

Office use only: do not write below this line

1) a) Can assessee lift a spoon to their mouth one time without spilling the contents?

b) Can assessee walk to the nearest streetlamp without collapsing and alarming passers-by?

c) Can assessee speak a single sentence coherently?

If any one answer is yes, no assistance is needed. If more than one answer is yes, no assistance is needed and in addition assessee should be shamed for wasting assessor time.

2) Can assessee unceasingly judge at each moment of each day whether any given activity will make them feel worse or better now or in the future and by how much?

Note: there is no correct answer to this. If yes, then they are well enough to manage their condition independently and should be shamed for wasting assessor time. If no, they should be shamed for failing to manage their condition.
