Deenz Neurodiversity Scale (DNS)
normative dataset currently contains
2159
participant records collected between
Jun 9, 2026
and
Aug 2, 2026
.
This psychometric dataset currently includes 2159 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 55.02 with a standard deviation of 12.77, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.853). Observed skewness (-0.32) and kurtosis (0.19) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The score distribution appeared reasonably balanced and did not suggest substantial departures from normality.

Item–Total Correlations
Item Analysis Interpretation
Item–total correlations were generally strong across the assessment, indicating that most items contribute effectively to the measurement of the underlying construct.
The analysis identified9
itemsthat may benefit from future review.
Items Recommended for Future Review
Q4
(r = 0.29)
I prefer familiar environments over new ones.
Q15
(r = 0.28)
I love thinking deeply and talking about big ideas and philosophy.
Q20
(r = 0.29)
I enjoy activities that don't involve much reading.
Q21
(r = 0.24)
I find it easier to understand information when it's spoken.
Q22
(r = 0.28)
I take my time to think and decide, and I need a lot of it.
Q23
(r = 0.29)
I really love certain hobbies and get super into them.
Q24

Normative Data Notice
A total of
2159
participant responses were available for this assessment.
Dimension-level norms were calculated using
2159
valid response records.
Approximately
0
response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.
Limitations
Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.
Ethical Statement
All records included in this dataset were collected anonymously. No personally identifying information is stored. Data are intended for educational, psychometric, and research purposes.
