Summary07377: MaxDiff / Best Worst Scaling question type / functionality
Description

Question type similar to a DualScale question type.

Difference is that you that you are not allowed to choose the same item on both scales.

Simple example would be : First scale "most important", second scale "least important". Now you show different items to choose from. With a dual scale question type it would be possible to choose the same item as "most important" AND "least important" which wouldn't allow to apply the MaxDiff method.

Additional Information

A possible solution: Translation of french workaround script into english as a start.
Can somebody with french language skills take a look at the attached script and translate the comments into english? It would be a big step towards a broader adaption of maxdiff inside of limesurvey.

Alternative solution: Small modification of 'Array (flexible labels) by column' questions
MaxDiff question is in fact a specific version of Array (flexible labels) by column:

  • answers are "Makes me Most want to reenlist" and "Makes me Least want to reenlist"
  • Labels are "Time off each week allowed for on-line college coursework", "Receive in-person personal counseling services", ...

Now for the new things (switchable by a question attribute):

  • a new layout: display answers between the two columns
  • a small javascript that prevents using the "Next/Commit" button if the same "Label" is used for the two "Answers"
