Additionally, the questions are asked in a random fashion, so people can't get a "cookbook recipe" Also the social competence test is dtermining if someone answers in a way to look "socially desirable", answers contradictory or has avoided a definite response > Here in the US, Janus Assoc. is a big industrial psych testing company. > Ever heard of them?

I did The math routines were also done by me, after the heads behind the statistics had determined what should be computed how (lots and lots of papers with computing stuff) The tests are evaluated and rated by universities according to some standards created for these grounds > In the past, I designed a 45-table survey system (plus created all the > front-end) for a client who used it to do post-opening franchise visits, > interface it back to their guest satisfaction and revenue mgmt systems, > etc. > > It had a master list of questions from which you could pick to combine > create new surveys, use different answer scales, question categories, > screen and report ordering, etc. Similar to your survey system I would > guess. Yes, similar to one new test I am designing now. It consists of a mix of already present tests where the client can opt which factors should be tested (not totally free, as some factors correlate with others)
