Designing Situational Judgement Test with Most and Least Effective

Aug 26, 2013

Hi,

I would like to know if one can build a Situational Judgement Test in Articulate Quizmaker, where the response for every question if a set of 2 answers - The Most Effective and Least Effective response to the Question.

I am providing a couple of samples for the same to help in understanding my question.

Hi Mahesh and welcome to E-Learning Heroes! 

You could set this up as a Survey question ->Likert Scale. When you're creating the question, at the very bottom right hand corner is an area to update what the "Scale" is - and there you could remove all but two options, and rename them to "Most Effective" and "Least Effective" For Likert scale questions you'll be able to have 10 statements per slide. 

Hope that helps!

Hi Ashley,

Thank you for sharing this information.

The Likert Scale does meet my requirement partially - The user does get to choose "Most Effective" and "Least Effective" option.

However, this becomes applicable for all responses, while what I would want is among the 4 available answers:

the User to Choose only One Answer as Most Effective and only One Answer as Least Effective, and leave the other 2 Answers untouched (because they are both neutral).

In other words, there cant be more than one Most Effective / Least Effective Response.

Does Likert Scale have the feature to constrain a User in the above manner?

Thank You

Hi Mahesh,

Thanks for the additional information, based on the examples you shared I was thinking it would be more like a survey. The Likert scale option, wouldn't force the user to choose only one for each of the answers, but you could list the directions as such. If that's the case, you'd also want to make one of the scale options "Neutral." The other question choice that could work for you is the Ranking Drag and Drop. Again, you'd need to write the directions that they should be put in order of Most Effective, two Neutrals, and one Least Effective (or however you'd want to set it up). This would be more forceful to the user that they could only put them in one particular order. 

Hope that helps!

Hi Vijay,

Looks like your email signature came through when you replied via email! No worries, this Peek video will show you how to remove it. 

As for the example you're looking for - it's not something I'm familiar with outside of this discussion. I'm not sure if Mahes is still subscribed here, as the post is a bit older - but you could always use the "contact me" button on a ELH users' profile to reach out to them directly!

If you're looking for some other examples using a Likert scale, I'd also suggest reaching out in the Building Better Courses side of ELH and see if there is anyone who can help! That side tends to focus more on design and how to. 

Best of luck with your project!
