Aliases

• ordinary developmental quality
• number of DQo responses

Definition

DQo is the frequency of responses with ordinary developmental quality. It usually functions as the baseline for the protocol's usual level of organization.

Interpretation

• In many protocols, DQo forms the central part of the DQ distribution.
• A proportionate DQo may reflect a common, stable level of organization.
• A very strong predominance of DQo may indicate a fairly conventional and not very complex style.

Cautions

• High DQo is not necessarily a weakness.
• Its meaning changes with the relation to DQ+, DQv/+, and DQv.
• If DQo dominates and DQ+ is almost absent, integrative complexity may be limited.
