Choosing a Scoring Model #
When creating your assessment, you must determine which scoring model best meets your requirements.
Agolix offers two different assessment scoring models, which are described below.
Simple Assessments #
A Simple Assessment provides a score based on a respondent’s answers. That’s like a school test without any right and wrong answers.
For example, an assessment can ask, “How likely would you enjoy a visit to the UK?” and answer out of 100%. You can set the range of scores from 1 to 100 or any other number. And you can provide custom feedback depending on the respondent’s score, such as: “Your score of 89% shows you would likely enjoy visiting the UK very much.”
Multi-Type Assessments #
A Multi-Type Assessment is a flexible scoring model that supports two approaches:
Dimension-based scoring rates a respondent across several categories — like a report card that gives you grades or scores in several subjects. For example, you can give the respondent a score in each category along with custom feedback: “You scored High on interest in sciences. That means you will likely be very motivated if you major in science…”
Single-type assignment assigns a respondent to one category based on their answers — like the Sorting Hat in Harry Potter that assigns each new student to one of the four houses in the school. For example, an assessment can ask, “Are you more of a Pub Person or a Museum Person?” You can assign the respondent to the type where they score highest and give them a description of that type, such as: “You are a Pub Person who enjoys a lively time out with friends.”
