The subscales, labeled self-reflectiveness and self-certainty, appear to measure separate components of cognitive insight: (a) the patients' capacity and willingness to observe their mental productions and to consider alternative explanations and (b) their overconfidence in the validity of their beliefs.

A composite index calculated reflecting self-reflectiveness adjusted for self-certainty (self-reflectiveness minus self-certainty).
