Calculation of questionnaire scores

Modified on Thu, 8 Jun, 2023 at 3:57 PM

Inrecruiting provides the possibility to submit questionnaires to candidates.


It is possible to create questionnaires with matrix, single-answer and multiple-answer questions. 


For each type of question, the score achieved is calculated according to different methods: here are some examples.


 


COUNTING RESULTS MATRIX QUESTIONS 


Calculation example: 


Given the following weights 


Column a0
Column b50
Column c100
Row 1100
Row 2100
Row 3
100



Give the following answers: 


 


a
b
c
1
x


2

x

3


x


 


The sum of the products of the value corresponding to the row and column of the answers will be calculated. 



Thus: 


A1+B2+C3 -> (0x100)+(50X100)+(100x100)= 0+5000+10000=15000 


 


Now we need to add up the product of all the possible answers in the matrix, so: 


A1+A2+A3+B1+B2+B3+C1+C2+C3 -> (0X100)+(50X100)+(100X100)+ (0X100)+(50X100)+(100X100)+ 


(0X100)+(50X100)+(100X100)= 45000 


 


Now simply divide the "sum of answers" by the "total sum of weights" 15000/45000= 0.3333 


In the case of a questionnaire with only one question, we will convert on a percentage basis, so 0.333 -> 33.33%. 


 


COUNTING RESULTS SINGLE SELECTION QUESTION 




The score is awarded according to the set weight divided by the maximum weight. 


Calculation example. 


Given the following weights 


A: 0 


B: 50 


C :100 


 


Considering that the candidate answered B, divide the answer weight by the sum of the answer weights. 


Thus: 


B/(A+B+C) -> 50/(0+50+100) = 50/150= 0.3333 


 


In the case of a questionnaire with only one question, we will convert on a percentage basis, so 0.333 -> 33.33%. 


 


COUNTING RESULTS OF MULTIPLE SELECTION QUESTION 


The system performs a calculation using a weighted average 


Calculation example: 


Given the following weights 


A: 0 


B: 50 


C:100 


 

Given the following answers: 


B and C 


(B+C)/(A+B+C) -> (50+100)/(0+50+100) = 150/150= 1 




In the case of a questionnaire with only one question, we will convert on a percentage basis, so 1 -> 100%. 

 


If the questionnaire consists of one page with several questions of different types, the calculation of the result will be as follows:


 


CALCULATION OF THE PAGE VALUE 


A weighted average is used to count the page result. 


Given the following weights to the questions on the page:


Question 1: 20 


Question 2: 30 


Assuming the candidate scored the following marks in the various questions: 


Result question 1: 0.33 


Result question 2: 0.66 


For each question add the marks obtained multiplied by the weight of the question, dividing the result by the total sum of the weights. 


Thus: 


(Result question 1 X Weight question 1)+(Result question 2 X Weight question 2)/(Weight question 1+ Weight question 2) 


 (0.33 X 20)+(0.66 X 30)/20+30=0.53333333 


 


In the case of a questionnaire with only one page, we will convert on a percentage basis, so 0.53333 -> 53.33%. 


 


Finally, it is possible to create a questionnaire with several pages to which different weights can be assigned. In this case, the system will follow the following calculation method:


 


CALCULATION OF THE VALUE OF A MULTI-PAGE QUESTIONNAIRE 


A weighted average is used to count the result of the questionnaire. 


Give the following weights to the pages in the questionnaire:


Page 1: 20 


Page 2: 30 


Given the following scores for the various questions: 


Page 1: 0.33 


Page 2: 0.66 


For each page, add the marks obtained multiplied by the weight of the page, dividing the result by the total sum of the weights. 


Thus: 


(Result page 1 X Weight page 1)+(Result page 2 X Weight page 2)/(Weight page 1+ Weight page 2) 


(0.33 X 20)+(0.66 X 30)/20+30=0.53333333 


We will now convert on a percentage basis, so 0.533333 > 53.33%.
