Challenge Overview
The client for this project has decided to build a web-based application that will allow participants (professional investors) to complete assessments, such as card sorting tasks. The application will also allow Testers, the people running the assessments, to create and run assessments. This new Psych Assessment application will be designed to work on a variety of platforms (including Windows, Mac, iPad, and other tablets).
For the first version of the application, the Psych Assessment application will be built to support two distinct types of assessments: "Q-Stack" assessments and "Card Stacking" assessments. However, the framework will also be designed to support a common framework that allows the client to add and change assessments over time.
A Q-Sort assessment is where a number of items (cards with different words or sentences on them) have to be ranked / ordered by a Participant so that they result in a sequence. This sequence will be one a scale, such as from high to low, or from "agree the most" to "agree the least".
In a Card Stacking assessment, Participants will assign items (cards with different words or sentences on them) into a predefined number of different response groups. These groups will be visually arranged in the form of stacks that look like an approximately bell-shaped distribution curve. This will result in a final ordering sequence that has the symmetrical shape of a bell shaped distribution.
The Psych Assessment application will be designed to support three main user types: Testers, Participants and Admin users. Testers are the users responsible for conducting the assessments and viewing the results. Admins will be in charge of setting up the assessments and managing them in the system. A Participant will be the user who is completing the assessment. Participants will enter basic information about themselves and then complete an available assessment. In addition, the platform will also support Admin users who will be responsible for managing user accounts and registration codes.
Testers will also be able to use the Psych Assessment application for reporting purposes. Reports can be viewed (including both statistics and graphics), as well as exported for further analysis. For example, Testers will be able to comparison a Participant's results to relevant groups of others who have taken the assessment and show these results to the Participant (if they are physically there).
We have run the first part PoC Assembly - Psych Assessment Web Application Backend Module Part 1 , this contest is going to continue the development of left part, including writing Unit Tests, and Demo pages based on the wireframes.
