This article describes a set of 11 menu-driven procedures, written in BASICA for MS-DOS-based microcomputers, for constructing several types of rating scales, attitude scales, and checklists, as well as for scoring responses to the constructed instruments. The program can facilitate the construction and scoring of bipolar, forced-choice, graphic, numerical, semantic differential, and standard rating scales, as well as Likert-type attitude scales, questionnaires for comparing and ranking persons, and checklists of behaviors and characteristics.
