Title: Dynamic framework for psychometric testing
Inventor: KETTUNEN JUHA
IPC: G16H10/60
Filed: 2011-05-13
Abstract: The invention relates to adjusting a psychometric test, and to carrying out psychometric testing, as well as the corresponding data structures, computer program products, devices and systems. Input from a plurality of users is received, for example by means of a questionnaire. The input is indicative of a first psychometric variable and a second psychometric variable, where the first and the second psychometric variables being essentially independent from each other. The input allows classifying users into at least four classes using at least a first classification threshold for the first psychometric variable and at least a second classification threshold for the second psychometric variable. The classification thresholds for the classes (and possible sub-classes) are adjustable so that the classification of users into said classes is altered so that at least one user is re-classified to a different class. The questions in the input questionnaire may also be changed, and they may e.g. be translated to another language. Furthermore, the system generates textual output based on the classification, and the users may be allowed to vote on the output descriptions. This way, descriptions that are not appreciated by the users may be pushed down in the presentation priority. The above adjustments may take place by comparison to another population and/or test, by targeted adjustment of the classification to reach a desired class and sub-class distribution, and/or based on user feedback (e.g. voting).
