What are the observable characteristics of epithelialization?

What is the best tool to make a survey that tests 8 characteristics and gives results for each one?

  • I'm looking for something very specific: we are creating a survey to help social entrepreneurs... We have come up with 8 characteristics that make successful social entrepreneurs and we've come up with a set of 4 questions per characteristics for people to test themselves. The idea is to get the 32 questions get randomised so that the person answering the questions doesn't connect the 4 questions related to each characteristics. The survey must be able to add up the score for each characteristics (4 questions each). At the end of the survey, we want people to see the score they get for each characteristics individually (eg. scored 50% on characteristic A, scored 80% on B, scored 21% on C, etc) In an ideal world, we would also be able to give them some sort of "tailored advice" for the results they get... eg. If less than 50% for A, we advice to read this book. If less than 40% for B, we advice updating your social media strategy, etc... Thank you for your help :)

  • Answer:

    You might use a Likert or a Semantic Differential scale. If Likert is being used, it would typically be between strongly agree and strongly disagree. Another, finer variant is possible - a seven or ten point scale, where each poin (or at least, each alternate point is given a short verbal description). This takes more time for the respondent to read and interpret correctly, and so is more difficult to administer.

I'm not aware of any specific tools that do all of this for you out of the box.  Would be quite interested if any know of such. However I have built a couple of these sorts of tools using online survey systems (admittedly ones that are a little more robust and feature rich than SurveyMonkey et al). The process I followed was: Script questions in the system Create underlying expressions that translate answers into scores Create underlying expressions that translate scores into composite scores (if required) Write feedback for differing scores (this was a right pain and is actually quite tricky getting it right). Create a little online report or email that populates based on the scores and written feedback. I used a survey system called http://www.Nebu.com to do a rather complicated entrepreneurship readiness feedback survey for a Cambridge University enterprise team.  Worked well and was complicated because as well as the basic scores I also had to run some scores derived from an algorithm which indicated how much improvement you could get by upping one's score on a particular vector. Just finished another one (innovation readiness) for a Telco company which was mainly done offline (for simplicity).  You could do this too and just manually create a report for everyone using the awesome power of Excel. Finally you could engage a programmer to build this bespoke as a mini website.  The math and programming would be pretty easy I'd say (though I'm a better survey programmer than code developer so that's why I choose the survey system route. Hope this helps..
