What is it about?
We have created MisoQuest, a questionnaire which assesses misophonia. It was developed and tested in Poland and the Polish version is characterized by good psychometric values. MisoQuest is substantially different from the misophonia questionnaires currently in use. It is also the first fully validated misophonia questionnaire. MisoQuest results suggest that certain triggers might be more specific to misophonia and that people with misophonia do not respond to misophonic triggers in a violent way.

Why is it important?
The goal of this study was to develop and assess the psychometric value of MisoQuest, a new questionnaire for measuring misophonia or Selective Sound Sensitivity Syndrome. In contrast to the most common tool, A-MISO-S, and the third part of MQ, MisoQuest was not based on a questionnaire for assessing OCD, so it does not include items specifically associated with OCD such as time spent resisting thoughts about misophonic sounds. Rather, its items deal specifically with elements related to the current understanding of misophonia.
Perspectives
I am glad that I could participate in this project. We used the IRT method in it, which in an interesting way showed which items are key to misophony.
