They have been tested in several countries such as Germany, USA, Mexico, Croatia… The results of the studies show that AIDA and LoPF questionnaires are reliable and valid instruments for assessing normal and disturbed identity in adolescents and distinguishes well between patients with psychiatric illnesses and healthy controls.
