8 Work Impairment Functions/Psyche Protocols
Pg. 2-3 – in order to rate a psyche, the report must be based on 8 protocols.
Cannot be simply conclusionary… would be sent back as unrateable
Must quantify each of the 8 areas
Formula ~> Group I + .45 – I/300 x Group II = ____ %
First 3 protocols are Group I, next 5 are Group II
Pg. 2-3
i.e. Group I
1. very slight 5 10+1/2(5+5)=15
2. very slight 5
3. slight 10
Group II
4. moderate 12 12+1/5(8+1+3+2)=14.8
5. slight 8
6. very slight 1
7. slight 3
8. slight 2
15 + .45 – 15/300 x 14.8 =
(.45 - .05)
(.40 x 14.8)
15 + 5.92 = 20.92 = 20%
