simple, while D = 0 indicates that the question is considered to be very difficult.
The discrimination index (DI) measures how well the question distinguishes
participants with high total scores from participants with low total scores. DI
varies between -1 and 1. A negative DI indicates that participants with low total
scores are more likely to answer the question correctly than participants with high
total scores, suggesting that the question should be modified. A positive DI
indicates that participants with high total scores are more likely to answer the
question correctly, suggesting that the question is well formulated.
