Using the Likert Scale quiz in Storyline or creating one from scratch!

Hello Thabit!  I took your challenge and built out a model for you.  Well, and for me.  :)

I used button sets, a variable, and triggers with conditions to allow for 1 selection per statement, all on the same page, and a sum of the points according to their answers.  It's rough, but see if it does the job...

Here's the demo.

Hi Crystal,

Apologies for the delayed reply as I only got to have a look at your file this morning. All I can say is WOW!!! That is EXACTLY what I need... I couldn't have asked for anything more! That literally is exactly what I described in my post and you created it to the T. 

Once again the amazing people of this community have come through for me, namely you Crystal. Thank you once again. I really appreciate the help. What you have done will greatly enrich the course I am building and the learners overall experience.

Kind regards,

Thabit

Awesome, Thabit!  I'm glad I could help.  I've learned a lot here, too.  :)

Hey guys,

So this is what I came up with for the self assessment quiz using the likert scale. It's just a "prettier" version of the demo that Crystal posted, but feel free to use it if you're looking to do the same kind of thing in your courses.

Regards,

Thabit

Thanks Thabit for sharing! Glad you came back around. 

How do I see user scores? 

Hi Gail - You'll want to be sure to include a results slide at the end of your survey (even if it is veiled as a "goodbye" or other content slide).  It will send data to your LMS for you to track!  Linking to our conversation here, too.

Thanks!

Hi !

Very pleasant and useful project ! I try to make manually a likert question type but I encontered a problem with my radio buttons : The radio buttons allow me one selection per slide. but I have 5 propositions. Could you help me ? 

Best regards,

Eva 

Hi Eva, 

Have you checked if these radio buttons are included in a button set or not? You can change this following the directions here, as a button set will only allow for one choice in a group of radio buttons. 

If you're still stuck, can you share your .story file, I'm happy to take a look! 

Thank you very much !

God! I love your template!! Thanks a lot!

Thanks, Crystal for sharing the idea!

I am using it for one of my projects but I ran into one issue with the variable used here - if I select a button (say 1) for a question and then change my input to select a different button (say 2) of the same button set, then both the values are adding up and making it a 3 instead of 2 (ideally).

Any suggestions to overcome this?

Hi Sudipta,

Changing your selection shouldn't add additional values as the results aren't calculated until the Results button is clicked. The trigger also only adds value if that button has a Selected state.

Are you comfortable with sharing that slide for testing? You can share it publicly here, or privately with our support engineers. We'll delete it when we nail down what's going on!

Hi Ren,

Thanks for your reply. I would definitely like my Linkert work that way. Here's my file attached.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Sudipta,

Thanks for sharing your file! I think the key difference here is your object triggers. You're adding value to the variable as soon as the user selects the radio button.

In the templates shared earlier in the discussion, the value isn't calculated until the user selects Submit. There is also a condition added to only calculate when the radio button is Selected.

This will ensure that even if the user changes their response, the scores aren't recorded until they're completely done. Take a look, and once you've made those changes, let us know if you need further help!

Hi Ren,

Thanks, for the wonderful solution. It works.

One more question - I want the learners to complete the activity before they proceed. How can I disable the submit button until they have attempted all the questions in the Linkert exercise? Ideas?

Sudipta

So glad to hear that Ren's idea worked well for you, Sudipta.

I've used your original file to share an idea for your latest request using variables and conditions on the triggers as well as an additional layer.

Let me know if that does the trick.

Hi Leslie,

Such a clever trick! Thank you so much for the solution!

Thanks everyone for sharing ideas on this. 

Hello, I am a newbie to storyline.  Just downloaded the app this morning.   I am trying to build something similar and was hoping to view the templates created or get some help from someone with experience.  

I am trying to build a self assessment tool (think something like Myers Briggs) where an employee can select the items that best fit their style.   They could possibly rate them on a 1-4 scale.  Then I need a results page that will show the total for each of the 4 possible categories to help them see their preferences based on scores from strongest to weakest preferences.   Does someone have a template for something like this.  

Hi Melissa!

I love this idea! I'm not aware of any templates, but you could always look in the Downloads section.

You're in the right spot for design help! This community is filled with excellent course designers!

Hi,

I have tried to use the likert scale designs to create a test that is in four parts, each part with a statement to respond to as attached.  I am going to create a 'total' button on each slide to pull through to a final overall score.  But I am struggling at the first step getting text either side of the likert scale.  Do you have any insight or suggestions?  I have attached an example of one of the statements slides I am trying to design.
