HasKQ: Logic Help: Dynamic Scoring for Personality Assessment
Hi, I am testing your platform to create a psychometric test via free plan. I need help with two calculations:
(1) Reverse Scoring: After creating a custom variable say "Open_N1r", how do I assign a calculated value to a custom variable? For example, I need to set Open_N1r = 6 - {Open1}, where {Open1} is the response from a Likert scale question.
(2) Calculating Averages: What is the formula or method to calculate the average of three questions? For example, I need P_avg = ({P1} + {P2} + {P3}) / 3.
Could you please provide the step-by-step instructions to accomplish both of these tasks? Thanks.

1. You can create holding variable and use it to perform calculations in "Calculator".
BMI calculations example - https://getformly.app/m70LXr
Or you can also use "Score Quiz" and assign points/variables directly (e.g. if they select 1 on Likert scale then Add 6, if they select 5 then subtract 2 etc)
2. Then you can use "Calculator" for average score calculations.
Note! Using Score Quiz and Calculator Together
If you use both Score Quiz and Calculator in the same form, the Score Quiz will be calculated first, followed by the Calculator.

Thank you for the clarification. Although I am still not clear on how to assign a score to custom variable which takes an average of multiple questions. Could you also clarify if pdf with charts will be available under all plan? Thanks.
To assign a score to custom variable you can use "Score Quiz" and then use "Calculator" for calculating average etc. Pdf with charts will be available under all Appsumo plan but currently we don't have any specific release dates for this.
