Binge Eating Scale
The Binge Eating Scale is a sixteen item questionnaire used to assess the presence of binge eating behavior indicative of an eating disorder. It was devised by J. Gormally et al. in 1982 specifically for use with obese individuals. The questions are based upon both behavioral characteristics (e.g., amount of food consumed) and the emotional, cognitive response, guilt or shame.[1] [2]

Scoring
Each question has 3-4 separate responses assigned a numerical value. The score range is from 0-46:
- Non-binging; less than 17
- Moderate binging; 18-26
- Severe binging; 27 and greater
gollark: It's still quite cool.
gollark: And they break down the instructions into smaller instructions, and I think somehow execute several of those at the same time on one core.
gollark: And they somehow have billions of transistors switching billions of times a second using less power than an old inefficient lightbulb.
gollark: They're working on scales barely above individual atoms, and yet somehow reliably and cheaply enough that you can (well, will be able to around today) buy stuff made this way for £200 or so.
gollark: The "nm" numbers are mostly meaningless now, but modern processes are very impressive.
