Psychometric tests attempt to objectively measure aspects of your mental ability or your personality. Psychometric tests are
a standard and scientific method used to measure individuals' mental capabilities and behavioral style. Psychometric tests
are designed to measure candidates' suitability for a role based on the required personality characteristics and aptitude (or
cognitive abilities). They identify the extent to which candidates' personality and cognitive abilities match those required to
perform the role. Organizations use the information collected from the psychometric test to identify the hidden aspects of
candidates that are difficult to extract from a face-to-face interview. They are statistically examined, and are constructed to be
objective and unbiased. This is done by using standard methods of assessment so that everyone is presented with the same
questions and instructions for completing them.

A questionnaire is a research instrument consisting of a series of questions and other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from respondents.
Surveys that work: using questionnaires to gather useful data, November 2010Caroline Jarrett
This presentation to the 22nd Australasian Computer-Human Interaction Conference, OZCHI 2010, compares survey processes and looks at some of the detail of designing surveys – including how to avoid survey error.
Questionnaires is one of the most popular tool of collecting data
They provide a convenient way to gathering information from a target population. A questionnaire is a planned self-reported form designed to elicit information though written or verbal responses of the subjects.
Questionnaire is a research instrument consisting a set of predetermined questions to collect data from the respondents about one or more specific topics that serves as a primary research instrument in survey research

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3
5. Basic Concepts in Measurement
• Measurement: determining how much of a property is possessed by an
object
• Properties: specific features or characteristics of an object that can be used
to distinguish it from another object
• Objective properties are physically verifiable. (Age, Sex, Ect.)
• Subjective properties are mental constructs. (Feelings, opinions, etc)
5
7. Measuring Properties
• Objective properties are physically verifiable characteristics such as age,
gender, or number of bottles purchased.
• Subjective properties cannot be directly observed because they are mental
constructs such as a person’s attitudes, opinions, or intentions.
• For subjective properties, researchers must translate mental constructs onto
an intensity continuum.
7
8. Basic Concepts in
Measurement
• Scale development is
designing questions and
response formats to measure
the subjective properties of an
object.
8
9. Types of Measures
• Nominal scales: those that use only labels
• Ordinal scales: those with which the researcher can rank-order the
respondents or responses
• Scale measures: those in which the distance between each level is known
• Interval scales: those in which the distance between each descriptor is
equal
• Ratio scales: ones in which a true zero
9
10. Scale Examples (Page 178)
• Nominal Measure Questions: those that use only labels
Please indicate your gender
Male _____
Female _____
Are you planning on purchasing a new automobile in the next 6 months?
Yes _____ No ______ Unsure _____
10
11. Scale Examples (Page 178)
• Ordinal Measure Questions: those with which the researcher can rank-order
the respondents or responses
Please rank each brand in terms of your preference (1 first, 2 and so on)
_____ 3 Musketeers
_____ Baby Ruth
_____ Milky Way
11
12. Scale Examples (Page 178)
• Interval Measure Questions: Interval scales: those in which the distance
between each descriptor is equal
Indicate your degree of agreement with the following statements
Statement Strongly Disagree Disagree Neutral Agree Strongly Agree
A. I always look
for bargains
1 2 3 4 5
B. I enjoy being in
the outdoors
1 2 3 4 5
C. I love to cook 1 2 3 4 5
12
13. Scale Examples (Page 178)
• Ratio Measure Questions: ones in which a true zero Indicate your degree of
agreement with the following statements
Please indicate your age: _____
Approximately how many times in the last month have your purchased
something over $5 in a 7-11 store?
0 1 2 3 4 5 More than 5 (Specify) ______
13
14. Wigle Project
• Develop 2-3 Questions that
might add value to the Wigle
Whiskey questionaire
• Nominal
• Ordinal
• Interval
• Ratio
14
15. Interval Scales Commonly Used
in Marketing Research
• Likert scale
• Lifestyle inventory
• Semantic differential scale
• Stapel scale
15
16. Likert Scale
• An interval scale commonly
used by marketing researchers
is the Likert scale, in which
respondents are asked to
indicate their degree of
agreement or disagreement on
a symmetric agree–disagree
scale for each of a series of
statements. (Page 180)
16
17. Lifestyle Inventory
• A special application of the Likert scale question form called the lifestyle
inventory takes into account the values and personality traits of people as
reflected in their unique activities, interests, and opinions (AIOs) toward their
work, leisure time, and purchases.
17
19. Semantic Differential
• A semantic differential scale contains a series of bipolar adjectives for the
various properties of the object under study, and respondents indicate their
impressions of each property by indicating locations along its continuum.
• A concern with this type of scale is the halo effect, in which a general overall
feeling about a brand or store could bias responses on its specific properties.
19
21. Stapel Scale
• The Stapel scale relies on
positive and negative numbers,
typically ranging from +5 to –5.
21
22. Interval Scales Used in
Marketing Research
• Should the scale include a neutral point?
• Should the scale be symmetric or nonsymmetric?
• A symmetric interval scale is “balanced,” as it has equal amounts of
positive and negative positions, and typically it has “no opinion” or
“neutral” separating the negative and positive sides.
• A nonsymmetric interval scale has mainly degrees of positive positions
and would be more appropriate because most people do not think in
degrees of negative importance.
22
24. Reliability and Validity of Measurement
• Reliability: respondent responds in the same or a similar manner to an
identical or nearly identical measure.
• Occurs when a respondent answers very similar questions very differently
• Validity: accuracy of the measurement
• Example - when a respondent lies about income
24
25. Designing A Questionnaire
• A questionnaire is the vehicle used to present the questions the researcher
desires respondents to answer.
• Translates the research objectives into specific questions asked of respondents
• Standardizes those questions and the response categories so every participant
responds to identical stimuli
• Serves as an enduring record of the research
• Depending on the data collection mode used, such as online, can speed up the
process of data analysis
• Contains the information on which reliability and validity assessments may be
made
25
26. Questionnaire Design Process
• Questionnaire design is a systematic process in which the researcher
contemplates various question formats, considers a number of factors
characterizing the survey at hand, ultimately words the various questions
carefully, and organizes the questionnaire’s layout.
• The researcher should strive to minimize question bias.
• Question bias is the ability of a question’s wording or format to influence
respondents’ answers.
26
28. Developing Questions
• Questionnaire development is the practice of selecting appropriate response
formats and wording questions that are understandable, unambiguous, and
unbiased.
• Marketing researchers take great care in developing research questions that
measure the following:
• Attitudes
• Beliefs
• Behaviors
• Demographics
28
29. Four “Dos” of Question Wording
1.The question should be focused on a single issue or topic.
2.The question should be brief.
3.The question should be grammatically simple.
4.The question should be crystal clear.
29
30. Four “Dont’s” of Question Wording
1.Do not “lead” the respondent to a particular answer.
• A leading question gives a strong cue or expectation as what answer to
provide.
2.Do not use “loaded” wording or phrasing.
• A loaded question has buried in its wording elements a sneaky
presupposition, or it might make reference to universal beliefs or rules of
behavior.
30
31. Four “Dont’s” of Question Wording
3.Do not use a “double-barreled” question.
• A double-barreled question is really two different questions posed in one
question.
4.Do not use words that overstate the case.
• An overstated question places undue emphasis on some aspect of the
topic.
31
33. Question evaluation
• Question evaluation is scrutinizing the wording of a question to ensure that
question bias is minimized and that the question is worded so that
respondents understand it and can respond to it with relative ease.
• Researchers get better over time
• Developing a good questionaire is a lot of work!
33
34. Questionnaire Organization
• Questionnaire organization pertains to the sequence of statements and
questions that make up a questionnaire.
• Well-organized questionnaires motivate respondents to be conscientious and
complete.
• Poorly organized questionnaires discourage and frustrate respondents and
may even cause them to stop answering questions in the middle of the
survey.
34
35. The Introduction
• The introduction sets the stage; it is what a potential respondent reads or
hears before he or she begins answering survey questions.
• With an undisguised survey, the sponsor is identified, but with a disguised
survey, the sponsor’s name is not divulged to respondents.
• Incentives are offers to do something for the respondent to increase the
probability that the respondent will participate in the survey.
• Other forms of incentives address respondent anxieties concerning
privacy. Two methods tend to reduce anxieties and, therefore, increase
participation.
• The first is ensuring anonymity. The second method is confidentiality.
35
36. The Introduction
• Screening questions are used
to ferret out respondents who
do not meet qualifications
necessary to take part in the
research study.
• Are you over 21?
• Do you drink alcohol?
36
37. Question Flow
• Question flow pertains to the sequencing of questions or blocks of
questions, including any instructions, on the questionnaire.
• Warm-up questions are simple and easy-to-answer questions that are used
to get the respondents’ interest and to demonstrate the ease of responding to
the research request.
• Transitions are statements or questions used to let the respondent know that
changes in question topic or format are about to happen.
• Response to a skipped question affects which question will be answered
next.
• Classification questions are used to classify respondents.
37
39. Computer-Assisted Questionnaire Design
• Computer-assisted questionnaire design refers to software that allows
users to use computer technology to develop and disseminate questionnaires
and to retrieve and analyze data gathered by the questionnaire.
• Skip logic lets the questionnaire designer direct the online survey to ask
questions based on previous answers.
• Display logic is similar to skip logic. The survey displays or asks questions
that are appropriate based on the respondent’s prior answers.
39
40. Coding The Questionnaire
• Codes are numbers associated with question responses to facilitate data
entry and analysis.
• The codes for an “all that apply” question are set up as though each possible
response was answered with “yes” or “no.”
40
41. Pretesting The Questionnaire
• A pretest is a dry run of a questionnaire to find and repair difficulties that
respondents encounter while taking the survey.
• How most mistakes are found
• Pre-testing highly recommended at all levels of marketing research
41
