Dear friends,
I want to create a personality test with different questions (some in reverse scale) and that the user will receive a different answer regarding the total score.
ej. if the total score was 0-10 answer X, if it's 11-20 answer y, etc.

I tried to find it on the demo site but I couldn't understand how to do that.

Thank you,

Ilan.

Hi, ilan,
as far as I understand, the respondents shall get a more or less customized message at the end.

Well, you calculate the score in an equation. Let's call it "score"

Then you tailor the message like
Hello, you are
{if(score>30,'very good',if(score>20,'good',if(score>10,'average','a desaster')))}
Also see the manual "Expression Manager / Tailoring".
And maybe read about the syntax of "if".

Best regards
Joffm

Thank you for your answer.
Does Limesurvey has a reverse score option on the survey?

Hi, ilan,
as you see entering your answer options, you are absolutely free.
See:
www.limesurvey.org/de/foren/development/...-the-checkbox-option
and the attached example.

Best regards
Joffm

I couldn't understand how to do that from the other post.

I tried to create a group and then an Array question.
On the subquestions I asked the questions but I couldn't find neither the score (just A1, A2..) neither the option to do a reverse score.
I also need to give the user a detail information, not just "passs" or "fail" and I cannot find how to do it also.

I checked on Youtube for tutorials and they are old and didn't cover my questions.

Thank you!

You can create your own answer codes, you do not have to use the ones suggested by Limesurvey (like A1, A2, etc.). Then there is the assessment mode, which allows you to give also different ratings to different answers and you can create your own scales (called label sets in LImesurvey) as well, totally freeand with your own codes.

If this doesn't help, I might not understand the actual problem. Maybe you can give a better example, screenshot, example survey, etc.

Hi, ilan,
did you examine the sample survey that was attached at the linked thread?
There is everything in.
If not, I attach it again.

You got all informations how to do it.

And which problem do you have inserting more detalled informations in
{if(score>30,'very good',if(score>20,'good',if(score>10,'average','a desaster')))}.
This is an example.

And as holch said: Maybe we are totally wrong, but in that case you have to provide a detailled example.

Joffm

Hi,
I tried your survey but I couldn't understand how to make it on my own with the things I need.
I've installed LimeSurvey on my server and managed to create a survey, a group and even an array question.
Thanks to Holch I've created list with scales from 1 to 7.

What I don't know how to do is to summarize the scores and give an answer WITH advice, no just good, or pass.

This time I'm doing a simple array test (without reverse scoring) for this test:


Below are five statements that you may agree or disagree
with. Using the 1 to 7 scale below indicate your agreement
with each item by placing the appropriate number on the
line preceding that item. Please be open and honest in your
responding.
7—Strongly agree
6—Agree
5—Slightly agree
4—Neither agree nor disagree
3—Slightly disagree
2—Disagree
1—Strongly disagree
In
mo
st ways my life is close to my ideal.
The conditions of my life are excellent.
I am satisfied with my life.
So far I have gotten the important things I want in life.
If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing.
Scoring:
35-31 Extremely satisfied
26-30 Satisfied
21-25 Slightly satisfied
20 Neutral
15-19 Slightly dissatisfied
10-14 Dissatisfied
5-9 Extremely dissatisfied

Thank you,

Ilan.

Well, you need to create a equation type question.

From there it depends a little how your question is structured (what question code and subquestion code you gave everthing).
Let's assume the question code is "Q1" and the subquestions are "SQ001" to "SQ005", then you should be able to write an equation something in this line:
This should sum up the values of the 5 subquestions that you created. Give it a try and see if it works out. This is how I usually write equations. Because if you write them complete and something goes wrong you don't know where the problem lies. If you don't get the some of the answers correctly you know that you need to check on this code first.

Once that works you can try to write the suggestions. This is not really much different to what Joffm was showin with good, etc. You just have a few more things to check.

If the sum works you could create the first check. Something like this: This should give you a text "extremely satisfied" for scores from 35-31, for everything lower it should give you "lower". Again, this is just a step by step test, if your equation is going fine so far. If that works you continue from there.

Dear Holch,
I thought that Limesurvey is simpler than that.
Now I need to sum myself every survey (and there are some with a lot of questions).
I thought it's done automatically as it's done on other software like this.
Well, I hope I will manage.

Because I am new to Limesurvey, sorry for the silly question, but where can I put the equation?

Now, imagine that I need to write a paragraph of 50 words for each result and I have 4 possibilities. Should I write it on the equation?
Should I have more than 200 words on the same equation?

And, is it possible to test the results with the "Preview Survey"?

Thank you for your help!

Which software does add this up so simple? Not the ones that I know.

But, as I (and I think Joffm) have mentioned before, you can activate the assessment mode and give each answer a certain assessment value. At the end you can write the sum of the assessment value into a "equation question" and then base your final descriptions on this.

But as we do not really know what you are really trying to do (you ask something, we give you the solution, you mention new details, we respond, you add more...) it is quite hard to help. Joffm even created an example survey for you to show you how this works.

I think what you want is the assessment feature of Limesurvey. At the end of the survey you create an equation question, write the {ASSESSMENT_CURRENT_TOTAL} into it and then you can work with this value in another equation question or a text display question, where you then can write someting like "if equationquestionwithassessmentcurrenttotal is bigger than" etc.

Dear Holch and Joffm,
First - Thank you VERY much for your help.
Joffm's test helped me to create my array survey and you helped me understand the assessment, and I hope that I will manage to do the scores with your advice in the last response.

My problem is that I'm one of the worst person to manage codding and I'm very afraid from it.

The easiest program that I know which I told you before is called AriQuiz which is fantastic but doesn't work with Wordpress and is not as professional as Limesurvey.

Second - Sorry - I think that I was not so clear at the beginning and I hope I can clarify myself now:

I want to create a blog in Wordpress with many different surveys regarding human condition.
Those tests are mostly created by 5 to 20 likert style questions (some of them have reverse scoring) and the sum of the survey will define the human condition.
(The results can have up to 8 different human conditions)
The human condition is a paragraph of 50-100 words explaining the user's condition with tips how to grow from there.
This condition is shown at the end of the survey and sent to the user's email and to the administrator of the test.

I need to save the survey with a simple password known only to my students (lets say a password like "password") and only the people with the password can take the survey.

I hope that now it's more understandable than before.

Thank you again for your time and help,

Ilan.
