I completely agree. If it HAS to be 100%, logically if I select 60% in the first bar, the second has to be 40%...so why not just do it for me? (Only problem is when it has three bars.)

This might relate to the drop-off you’re seeing in test takers, is it occurring around the time people hit the page of sliders? – epc, on July 10, 2008 23:41

I realize I just posted the same thought. So I guess that is another vote! Charlie, why don't you make the progress bar at the top be a bucket if people like it so much :-)

Just realized something. If you automate the second bucket, the fun filling of the bucket, which tons of people liked, essentially disappears. You never get to fill the bucket.

Hmm... we'll have to think about this and see if we get more feedback, because as cheesy at it sounds, people like filling that silly bucket.

Yeah, but we'd need the data back... just taking it isn't enough. Actually being able to own the data and publish the questions through our system means a license.

Oh no! I OVE the filling bucket, but just thoguth could be designed in 1 user step vs the current 2 steps as it's a simple 100 - X formula algorithm. Keep the fancy bucket, just automate the 2nd part to autoset.

Yeah, thought as much. There are FREE links to take the Myers Briggs test that you could have people take which removes one of the barriers. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/J...

You're the first person not to like the filling bucket... Ah well, can't win them all.

Have you seen any other forms of answering that you like? We could put just about any front end on the questions, as the database is built to be flexible to handle that.

Lucy... we'd love to!

The only stumbling block is that the business model of those tests just don't work at internet scale. Those tests are given on a cost per test basis. Sure, some users would pay for them, but most probably wouldn't.

I had the idea that perhaps we could give those test away for free, and then charge companies to search by the results, and split the revenues with the testing companies... we'll see if that works as a potential business development deal.

What I think we could bring to those tests is a whole set of career info. Neither test collects information about what you do for a living, and combining the two sets of data would be really powerful.

Quiz 100% Slider Suggestion

The slider is a nice widget but the user has to slide twice for each question to total 100%. Perhaps have 1 slider that weights between the 2 parts automatically removing 1 step.

Personality Tools

Using other Personality Tools for information:
I suggest that you might want to leverage other personality assessment tools like Myers Briggs and Strength Finders in the assessment. It is information that is readily accessed and helps in the assessment of traits that map to success in certain career profiles
