I am implementing 3 personality tests into LimeSurvey.
I want to do the following:
1. When someone finishes one of these 3 tests the examiner (not the test-person) must be able to see the assessment of that test somewhere in the system.
- what would be the correct way of doing this? I have written a test "Assessment" in "Survey Properties", but I cannot find it back in the results.
2. When someone finishes all tests the examiner must be able to see a combined assessment, based on the assessments of all 3 tests. Is that possible?
Your different questionnaires are handled totally separately in Limesurvey. So there is no simple/easy way to show the assessments of all 3 in one place within Limesurvey. You would need to program something yourself. Maybe it is possible with a plugin within Limesurvey, but I have no experience with that.
About assessments: As far as I know, assessments are not saved within the database. So from what I know, you can use and display this assessment value during the survey, but once the survey is saved, there is no way to access this assessment value. I don't know why this is, but probably because you could recreate the assessment later based on the answers anyway.
However, I think you should be able to write the assessment value into an equation question. If this won't work, I would use expression manager to create the assessment, it is the more flexible solution anyway.
If the tests are done in a specific order and one directly after the other, you could try to pass the score from one to the other survey and save it into the database into a hidden equation question. When the respondent has finished the last one, you could have 4 extra fields in the database of survey 3 (3x the single scores and 1x the combined score). If the order can be random, I am not sure if it is possible.

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
