11 co-workers (9 physicians, 2 psychologists) of our research department with experience in the use of the AMP system participated in this study. According to the level of observation, 139 AMP symptoms were classified into 3 categories. 44 symptoms were classified into category SB (self-rating), 51 into category FB (psychiatrists’ rating) and 44 into category SF (mixed rating). This showed the combination of different levels of observation in the AMP system. The symptoms of the 3 categories show an unequal distribution among the 9 AMP syndromes according to Baumann. The classification of the different symptoms according to the level of observation should be demonstrated during training sessions with the AMP system. This could avoid uncertainties in the judgement of AMP symptoms and improve the inter-rater reliability of the AMP system.
