Items in the Chaos Scale

Item	Item-score correlation
1. My life is organized	0.64
2. My life is unstable	0.71
3. My routine is the same from week to week	0.50
4. My daily activities from week to week are unpredictable	0.50
5. Keeping a schedule is difficult for mea	0.69
6. I do not like to make appointments too far in advance because I do not know what might come up	0.64

Response scale is 1) strongly agree, 2) agree, 3) unsure, 4) disagree, and 5) strongly disagree. Responses to items 2, 4, 5, and 6 are reversed so that a higher score indicates more chaos. Item-score correlation is the correlation between each item and the scale of the combined items excluding that item.
