  1. Which repertory is considered the foundational text most commonly used in classical homeopathy in the US?

    Answer: Kent's Repertory of the Homeopathic Materia Medica

    Kent's Repertory is the most widely used classical repertory in the US, organizing symptoms by rubrics from Mind to Generals.

  2. In repertorization, which type of symptom is given the highest priority when selecting a remedy?

    Answer: Characteristic (peculiar/strange/rare) symptoms

    Characteristic symptoms—those that are strange, rare, or peculiar to the individual—are given the highest weight in repertorization.

  3. What does 'grade' of a remedy in a repertory rubric indicate?

    Answer: The strength of the remedy's clinical relationship to the symptom

    Remedy grades (bold, italic, plain) in a rubric indicate the strength of evidence that the remedy produces or cures that symptom.

  4. Which of the following best describes the 'elimination' method of repertorization?

    Answer: Using one or two keynote rubrics to narrow the field of remedies before full analysis

    The elimination method uses one or two highly characteristic rubrics to exclude remedies that do not appear, narrowing the field before totality analysis.

  5. In Kent's Repertory, under which section would a practitioner look for symptoms related to the patient's overall energy level and thermal sensitivity?

    Answer: Generalities

    Generalities covers whole-body symptoms including thermal sensitivity, time modalities, and energy, reflecting the totality of the patient's constitution.

  6. What is the primary purpose of using a computerized repertorization program such as RadarOpus or MacRepertory in homeopathic practice?

    Answer: To cross-reference multiple repertories and rapidly analyze large numbers of rubrics

    Computerized repertory programs allow practitioners to cross-reference multiple repertories simultaneously and quickly analyze many rubrics to find the best-fitting remedy.
