If you indicate having weight problems, The Analyst™ will ask further questions including this one:

Has your weight increased significantly for intentional or known reasons in the past year? Reasons might include greater calorie consumption, lifestyle changes, or medical conditions that you are aware of.

Possible responses:

→ Don't know / not applicable
→ No / minimal change
→ 5% to 10% / moderate weight gain
→ 11% to 20% / major weight gain
→ Over 20% / very great weight gain

The Diagnostic Process

Based on your response to this question, which may indicate no recent weight gain, moderate recent weight gain, major recent weight gain or very great recent weight gain, The Analyst™ will use differential diagnosis to consider or rule out various possibilities.
