Scoring :
. If a person answers no to all questions, you can be very confident that he or she does not have
  a gambling problem.    
 
. A score of 2 may indicate that he or she is developing a problem, but currently does not have
  a problem.    
 
. If a person scores 3 or more you can be very confident that he or she does have a problem:
  over 97% of people who do not have a problem score less than 2 on these items.
 
. Question 7 is used to adjust a person's score. If a person scored 3 or above, but responded once
  only to question 7, then he or she may be at risk or in transition, but probably does not have a gambling problem.
