\"image\"One of a the challenges we’ve faced since we started QuestionPro was bridge the gap between “point-n-click” and “survey programming” — We got one step closer today.<\/p>\n

We’ve just launched into Beta a Point-n-Click “Scoring” tool.<\/p>\n

What is a scoring tool?<\/b>
\nI am sure many of you have taken personality quizzes – answer a few questions and the system computes a “score” for you. In many (well most) cases, its a simple addition of values. If you choose option (1) add 10 point, if not subtract 3 points etc.<\/p>\n

So far when clients needed scoring, we had to program them manually. See Laurie Drake’s&nbsp; comment on IdeaScale here. We had a scripting tool that our developers could program the logic in.<\/p>\n

With the addition of the Scoring tool, there is a point-and-click interface to compute scores. Some highlights:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Currently we are limiting this to “Single Select” question types. We probably will enable this for the other question types in the near future (matrix, multi-select etc.)<\/li>\n
  2. You can assign values for each of the options. As the respondent chooses the option, the score gets computed and added.<\/li>\n
  3. A total is computed and stored along with the response.<\/li>\n
  4. You can have decimals (eg 55.4) for the values.<\/li>\n
  5. You can also have negative values (subtraction) – by default all the values are added up.<\/li>\n
  6. You can display the computed total score to the end-user (respondent) – using the ${score}<\/b> dynamic variable in the “thank you” page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What’s Next?
