fight_or_flight United States3988 Posts March 01 2009 01:15 GMT #22 Do you have access to labview with machine vision? If so, you could scan the surveys and use the machine vision to read what the answers were. Then you could possibly use one of these programs to do the analysis. http://www.hcp.med.harvard.edu/statistics/survey-soft/ edit: if you don't have labview then you could use this http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~a3seth/udai/OMRProj/

They give a free 60 day trial so that's good, and if you're not to shy about it, there's a cracked version of it for free.

Archaic United States4024 Posts March 01 2009 03:46 GMT #24 From a programming standpoint, it would be somewhat like having four variables. if(sc && eggs) scAndEggs++; etc. etc. Though I'm assuming you need significantly more complicated statistics. I'd suggest relying on a program, but if you need something relatively simple, I'm sure some people could write a quick and dirty one for you.

micronesia United States24615 Posts March 01 2009 17:12 GMT #25 I'm glad you guys have made these suggestions, but they are going to be fallbacks in case my current plan fails. Someone was showing me how you could use Microsoft Access to get the kinds of statistics I want. The answer to each question on the survey is a field, and then I create a query which rejects all the entries which don't have fields that meet the requirements. Then I can see how many are leftover. The trickier part is dealing with the results of the Likert questions where the average shifts from 3.5 to 4.2 and stuff like that.... but he claims you could either do it in access or just transfer the data over to excel to do the calculation once access has organized it.
