The method exists and is a part of a huge battery of diagnose tests. The
content itself has been modified, though it follows the general
guidelines (how the affirmations are builded). So it's not a verbatin
copy, neither a translation, from the contents point of view. As far as
I can say, those are my sentences, which were constructed based on a
real test that I got in my school. Since I know the whole methodology
involved it was easy to re-create sentences that can be evaluated
according to that model.

But of course this follows a scientific model, like most things do. So
to evaluate them and the results, this is based on a method that is
published and generally accepted by the APA (American Psychology
Association). 
Do you want me to dig licensing information for the method of
interpretation? I can easily contact APA for that, since we have
privileged chanells through my Institute.
