One of the dilemma's in my field is that old chestnut "that which can be measured may not be valuable, and that which is valuable may not be measurable." The notion of measurement as FEEDBACK (as Wheatley) is key - the measures that we are forced to use in Psychiatry are nearly always rather crud

Thanks for this suggestion, Mans - about copying and pasting in view mode - yes - it is a good simple fix - will try this. I enjoyed the Wheatley article, too! Dickon On Apr 25, 7:39 pm, Måns wrote: > Hi Dickon, Alex and J > > Sometimes I get really "manual" or practical (don't know if it's th

Hi Dickon, Alex and J Sometimes I get really "manual" or practical (don't know if it's the right english expressions I'm using?) When I can't figure how to make a program do things I know it could if I only had had the skills or knowledge. Hope I'm not getting too unclear. (English is *not* my fi

Hi Dickton, RE: the capacity to date and save the results so that a score at time A can then be compared to one done later at Time B. I'm also interested in this: the biggest survey project I have on is about surveying organisations. I think it could be done by adding date data to the questions

I've just used plugins and help to build my capacity. I guess it has taken me months to kind of solve how to do the questions, but once i found the plugins, understood how they worked, messed about with questionnaires I can duplicate them quite quickly. I am still not sure this way is the right wa

Thanks, Alex. If I can get my head around the script I will try to adapt your Likert scales, but I doubt I have the skills. I can feel some more late nights ahead. The final point in your comment is particularly relevant and interesting to me - about the APPLIED side of TW's as opposed to (or /

Dickton, I make no claim for the questions on the questionnaire. That credit goes to Tudor Rickards [1]. The questions are part of his "Team Factor Inventory" for creative teams, documented in Handbook for Creative Team Leaders [2] The TW is a work in progress for the teaching of creativity and

That is great, Alex. The Likert scale is exactly the kind of thing I would need to use. Your questionnaire is very thought-provoking too, and I like the way it generates instant feedback with traffic-light gradings! Thanks, Dickon On Apr 17, 10:59 am, Alex Hough wrote: > Hi Dickton > > I am

Following some help from Eric Shulman, I wrote myself a routine that collects information from an HTML form, runs it through a format string, and places it somewhere inside of an existing tiddler. This kind of routine could probably be modified to create a brand new tiddler with questionnaire res
