Abstract
The increasing application of subjective evaluation methods that are repetitive, lengthy, and difficult to analyze has prompted the development of an automated adaptive questionnaire. The adaptive questionnaire (AQ) is a test and evaluation tool designed to simplify the administration and analysis of questionnaires during operational test and evaluation (OT&E). Implemented on a portable microcomputer, AQ employs contingency branching logic to dynamically select and administer questions of maximal relevance to the tester's concerns. Data management is automated to provide easy assembly of questionnaires, quick-look data analysis, long-term storage, and assistance in the planning of post-test interviews.
