Interpretation of the Test

The meaning of the test is specific to each woman’s health, personality, and relationship goals. A conversation with a physician or counselor (sex or family therapist) deepens and facilitates the interpretation of the test.

Still, some general ranges are seen in groups of women, and scientific references could be helpful.
