[Interpretation/Upper Section] DQo

DQo
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.
