Items and open-ended questions comprising the DICAT
| Item or open-ended question | Description |
| Fluency item | Number of motor actions* performed by the person. |
| Flexibility item – a | Diversity of the motor actions the person completes, bearing in mind the use of different categories (displacements through space, spins or turns in the three axes of space, jumps, balances, level changes, etc.). |
| Flexibility item – b | Diversity of the motor actions performed by the person, considering the differences between them, even if they are in the same category (use of different body parts, different rhythms, different movement qualities, etc.). |
| Originality item | Uncommon, new, or unique movements by the person. |
| Elaboration item | Actions with a certain level of complexity in terms of construction and/or performance. |
| Aesthetics item | Artistic value of the composition, degree of sensory and emotional impact generated on the viewer. |
| Open-ended question – a | If you consider that an original action has been performed, describe it and explain why it is considered original. |
| Open-ended question – b | From your perspective, evaluate the creative and artistic quality of the improvisation, explaining in as much detail as possible what brought you to that conclusion. |
| Nota. *Body movement with a specific objective. E.g., if a person walks while moving their head, crouches down, and performs a somersault at a low level, they are deemed to have performed three motor actions: displacement through space, a change in level, and a spin. | |
