Universal Objective Test/Inventory Scorer
(This is the PC-only version. Click here for Mac version.)

This scores any objective test or personality inventory automatically.
(The only restriction is that each test or inventory item can have only 1
answer (i.e. one response); for inventories, items may count on
more than one scale and/or be weighted -- by entering an item
number more than once in the scoring system.)

In the textarea you paste the scoring system THEN click the DoIt button; paste the answers
and click the DoIt button again. The scoring system must be in a particular format which is described
at the bottom of this page. Just as with the Java version, client/student answers must simply
be a,b,c, ... or T or F and one answer per line in a raw text file (like NotePad, TextPad,
or SimpleText) -- with no extra spaces or returns anywhere.
Each 'answer' is an answer to a test/inventory item; of course, they are in order.


Modified Directions for Making "Scoring System Text File"
for The JavaScript Version of the Universal (Generalized)
Inventory/Test Scorer

You should begin by reading all the directions on my quick_start.htm and
ANNOUNCEMENT.htm web pages.  The directions for how the student/client
answers are to be formatted for the JS version of the Scorer are identical to the
directions for the Java version.

Regarding the "scoring system text file", you should begin by following the
directions on the two web pages mentioned above.  Making the scoring file
for the Java version is an excellent way to begin to make the scoring system
file for this JS version. These directions are also on the 2 web pages noted above.

After you have followed those directions for making the scoring system file
you should then make the following modifications:

     ** Remove all the blank (empty) LINES between the scoring for the
          individual test items/inventory scales.  No blank LINES are to be
          in the scoring file for the JS version.

     ** Add a scoring section for a last BOGUS item.  It should look like this:

                     084
                     0000

         (in this example, the test had 83 items OR the inventory had 83 scales)

    ** Leave the cursor right after this final set of 4 zeros (0000) -- you do NOT
         do two returns as you do for the Java scoring system file.

That's it.

You paste the scoring system (with modifications noted). Click the DoIt button.
Paste in the student/client answers and Click the DoIt button AGAIN.
No need for a third button click, like in the Java version.


To use for a second student/client, Click Reload Button on the browser, then CLICK
BEHIND the address in the browser's address blank and hold down the Shift key
and hit RETURN. This procedure ensures a clean new loading of the program.
