Response options are on a 6-point Likert type scale ranging from “Always” to “Never.” Sample questions include: “I eat when I am upset” and “I have a low opinion of myself.” Results with a frequency of 95% are classified as Typical, between 1 and 5% are classified as Atypical, with the most extreme at 1% or less are classified as Very Atypical (Typical being least like of having or developing an eating disorder, Very Atypical most likely to have an eating disorder). Internal reliability for the EDI-3 was .93 and test–retest reliability (r = 0.98) (Wildes, Ringham, & Marcus, 2010; Clausen, Rosenvinge, Friborg, & Rokkedal, 2011;2010;) in a sample of 561 females participants who’s ages ranged
