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.
