Operators don't work

Can you show screenshot with the result?

OK.

So you want to be there not “30 of 30” but “5 of 5”?

Not exactely.
Instead 5 of 30 (max 30; and result is sum of scores/6)

Do you have a idea ?

Hmm.. Yes — we should allow scores to be with dots.

So instead of 6 questions with scores like 5/5/5/5/5/5, we should have 6 questions with scores of 1.

So we should allow to have decimal scores.

Will it help you then?

i don’t understand very well

I have 18 questions whose results will be distributed over three different scales with 6 questions each.
Responses of the scores are 1,2,3,4,5

I would like to sum the scores divided by 6 for each scale

For example, on my scale A, I get the scores for six questions: 1/3/4/2/2/1. The sum is 13. Dividing 13 by 6, I get the result 2.2

B on my scale, I get the scores for 6 other questions: 2/3/3/4/4/2. The sum is 18. Dividing 18 by 6, I get the result 3

On my scale C, I get the scores for 6 other questions: 4/4/5/4/1/3. The sum is 21. Dividing 21 by 6, I get the result 3.5

Responses scores then should be divided by six:

1/6, 2/6, 3/6, 4/6, 5/6: 0.16, 0.33, 0.5, 0.66, 0.83

Sum then can be rounded inside the system.

But another question — why do we need exactly “5 out of 5” and not just “30 of 30”? Because test’s authors want that? Or because it’s common for this concrete test tell to another person, that you have “5 out of 5”?

I tried this method but the decimals are not recognized. When I save, all the scores back to 1 and the numbers assigned to scores of questions disappear.

For the result is indeed to respect the results of a study with averages provided by the authors and are the résult of a division by 6.

And it’s not “5 out of 5” but “5 out of 30” (I corrected my previous post)

I tried this method but the decimals are not recognized.

Yes, I know this. But this could be fixed.

“5 out of 30”

I just dont’ understand this case. How it could be “out of 30”? If max possible score without dividing is 30 and with dividing it’s 5?

For example let’s leave only one score. We have 18 questions, where 5 opssible answers: 1 to 5. Max possible score by this scale is 18*5 = 90. So when you will answer all questions to 5 you should get 90 out of 90.

Proceed with divide. Now we dividing somehow to six. So max possible score should be 90/6 = 15. And in this case when you will answer all 18 questions to 5 — you should get “15 out of 15”.

Where is our misunderstanding? I know it exists ))

OK. Maybe I explained in the wrong way.
I do have 18 questions in all, but there are 3 groups of 6 questions that correspond to three different scales.

Scale A:
Answer 1: Absolutely not like me; Score: 1 for questions : 3,8,13,15,16,18
Answer 2: Not like me; Score: 2 for questions 3,8,13,15,16,18
Answer 3: Neutral; Score: 3 for questions 3,8,13,15,16,18
Answer 4: Like me; Score: 4 for questions 3,8,13,15,16,18
Answer 5: Absolutely Like me; Score 5 for questions 3,8,13,15,16,18

Scale B
Answer 1: Absolutely not like me; Score: 1 for questions 1,4,6,7,9,10
Answer 2: Not like me; Score: 2 for questions 1,4,6,7,9,10
Answer 3: Neutral; Score: 3 for questions 1,4,6,7,9,10
Answer 4: Like me; Score: 4 for questions 1,4,6,7,9,10
Answer 5: Absolutely Like me; Score: 5 for questions 1,4,6,7,9,10

Scale C
Answer 1: Absolutely not like me; Score: 1 for questions 2,5,11,12,14,17
Answer 2: Not like me; Score: 2 for questions 2,5,11,12,14,17
Answer 3: Neutral; Score: 3 for questions 2,5,11,12,14,17
Answer 4: Like me; Score: 4 for questions 2,5,11,12,14,17
Answer 5: Absolutely Like me; Score: 5 for questions 2,5,11,12,14,17

What I would is:

Result A = Sum score Scale A / 6
Result B = Sum score Scale B / 6
Result C = Sum score Scale C / 6

we will get there ??

In current verion it’s impossible.

Also in current version by “Result” we understand not some value (nubmer), but something that will be or not will be. Just something simple as yes/no. So if some result’s formula will be true — then it will be shown.

So in the result you want not three scales with something like “N out of M” but just some text like:

* Result A: X
* Result B: Y
* Result C: Z

So it should be some kind of “custom variables”? That are calculated from other variables. Am I right?

To be or not to be. That is the question… ??

Yes, I think you understood my need.
So, how could I do?

That said, we need operators sooner or later. Did you have other feedback indicating that they were not working?

Alexander thank you for your help.

Operators are working, we just dont’ have any feature to postprocess scales.

Currently you dont’ have any options. Also I’m not sure this should be added in core — it could be some paid addon for 5 euros for example. Then those who needs it will have it when other 95% — not.

ONe possible workaround currently for you is to add some javascript that will do something like:

jQuery('.scale.scores').text().split(/\s+/) and then manually divide all numbers. But this is not user’s workaround, but for programmers.

OK Alexander.
Thanks for your precious help

I’m not a programming expert, so I will not venture to change the code.
I will adapt my tests based on the opportunities available to me.

see you soon

I’m not only one prgrammer in the world there are thouthands of us )) Try some freelancer.com — it will be an easy task there. And for your concrete case it will work.
