2. A checklist is a list of all the
things that you need to
do, information that you
want to find out, or things
that you need to take
somewhere, which you
make in order to ensure
that you do not forget
anything (Collins
dictionary).
A list of things that you must
think about, or that you
must remember to do
(Cambridge English
dictionary).
Checklist for Pre-case history
taking
 Identification code
 Co-operative
 Non-cooperative
 Able to communicate
 Site selected
 Informant available

3.  CHECKLIST
Items are independent or
uncorrelated.
Items are discrete.
Responses are non-metric.
Scoring is possible through
data transformation.
Checklist can be used to
identify critical constructs
for questionnaire
development.
 QUESTIONNAIRE
Items are correlated.
Items are summed and
scored.
Responses are metric,
quassi-continuous.
It can be scored easily.
One questionnaire
findings can be used for
construction of other
questionnaire.

4.  SWOT analysis and If-Then logic
 HIV checklist
 Read-Do checklist
 MMSE
 Confirm-Do checklist
 Surgery checklist
 Decision making checklist
 Pros-Cons checklist

6. Read-Do

7.  Pros and Cons list
might only help
justify a decision
you have already
made, it does
provide an organized
way to get your
thoughts down on
paper. That process
alone can be a stress
reliever for some
people. You can also
have someone else
review your list to
offer a second
opinion, because
sometimes we may
be too emotionally
involved to make an
objective decision
on our own.

9.  Task-Taxonomy is the specific job related task
classification.
 It provides insight about specific aptitude tests to be
developed.
 It provides knowledge about possible weights to
specific task factor in selection, training and
placement.
 Wage determination can be determined by using task
taxonomy data.
 It can give knowledge about which individual
characteristics are to be accounted in questionnaire
construction instead of random variables.

15.  From the biplot it can be seen that out of 14
tasks three tasks namely, Coding into
Computer languages, Testing and correcting
program and Comprehending users' problem,
are more important. Whereas, Collaborating
with computer manufacturers was
inapplicable assuming that it is a job of
liaison officer. Therefore aptitude tests for
last 3 tasks are to be prepared.
