The weighted score allows you to create your own index/scoring framework for each question within an assessment
The overarching concept is designed to generate a numeric score depending on what responses have been selected for each question within each question domain.
Create a Weighted Assessment
To start assigning questions a weighted score, in the creation stage either from scratch or from an existing assessment the type of Weighted Score needs to be selected. To learn more about creating assessments, head here.
Assign Questions a Weighted Score
In the Assessment Builder click +Add question. Select the question type you would like to use, this example will use the default Multiple Choices option.
By default, the question has no weighting and the answers have a weighting of 1. The corresponding number can be changed in the box next to the question and answer. Each question needs to be assigned a weighting before saving the question.
Each question can be weighted numerically, and each response within can be scored with a numeric value. The score for that response is then taken as the response score x question weighting.
Weighting
The weighting of a response is a simple multiplication of the question's weight and the response weight. For the above example, if the answer is 25% - 49%, that response has a weighting of 3 and the question as a whole has a weighting of 1. Therefore it is a total weighting of 3.
When the question has been saved the weighting can be shown in a table and edited by clicking on the respective fields (1).
Domain and assessment scores
An overall score for domains can be configured to either be based on the average or sum of response scores. Also, an overall score for the assessment can be configured to either be based on the average or sum of response scores.
To configure the assessment or domain score click on Settings.
and modify the settings according to your preferences.
Also, 6clicks creates charts that show the weighted scores for assessment based on quesions that have a weighted value.
