Category probability curve with disordered thresholds. Category probability curve graphically highlighting the disordered thresholds for item 22 of the total DSWAL-QoL scale. The point at which the lines for the adjacent response categories intersect in item 22 indicates that the transition between categories 2 and 3 is lower on the trait than the transition between categories 0 and 1. Response categories 2 and 3 never have a point on the continuum at which the most probable response is located
