Table 1 Summary table depicting the individual strengths and weaknesses of the IPC and ICF frameworks
| Â | Strengths | Weaknesses |
|---|---|---|
ICF Framework | High inter-rater reliability Provides greater detail on discrete content Increased precision Able to discern among many different concepts that are classified under the umbrella of a single IPC category | Required the use of more than 4X the number of categories Detected content overlap less frequently Limited classification capacity: vague, unclear, or poorly defined concepts are unclassifiable Does not consider item perspective (as an emotional or rationale decision) or the relationship between content within an item |
IPC Framework | High inter-rater reliability Considers item perspective Better classification capacity Classifies a greater number of dimensions of item content | May overestimate content overlap due to broader classification |
