A New Approach Toward Obtaining Quantified Subjective Test Data.

Abstract

This report proposes a method for obtaining ratio-scaled response data during subjective questioning of soldiers whose opinions are solicited during Army materiel tests. The approach is an adaptation of psychophysical measurement methods developed in recent years. Types of measurement scales are reviewed; a tentative taxonomy of psychophysical terminology is proposed. Methods and instrumentation for selecting and validating response modes are outlined. Plans for using resultant subjective measures of effectiveness in parametric models for statistical inference are suggested. (Author)
