The CCSI summary sheet also contains two graphs. The global score graph illustrates how your total CCSI score compares to 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles. Lower scores are indicative of better health. The scale score graph visually displays the data in the table with respect to each scale score. The red line represents your scores.

Thus it is possible to have a relatively normal SF-36 and yet still have a CCSI that indicates some areas for concern that could benefit from preventative measures to avoid serious illness later. At this time, the CCSI is a research instrument used to produce hypotheses for further assessment. If you would like to learn more about the specific scales, the Meridian Institute website contains brief descriptions of each scale what your scores may mean. The website also contain a CCSI Workbook and Manual with extensive documentation on how the scales were constructed and what each is intended to measure. The ATLI is intended to measure mental and spiritual factors as described in the Edgar Cayce readings.
