In its original form, the SCIPUS does not meet the requirements of the Rasch model and its total score should be used cautiously. However, following some adjustments to the items such as addressing DIF between sites to insure a standardized assessment across sites and adding response options to some of the items, interval-scale measurement should be possible.
