Abstract:

An evaluation method presents a series of question to an evaluated person. The questions represent a matrix of tracks and items. The questions are presented in order of increasing difficulty along a selected track until a first condition occurs. After the first condition occurs, a new track is selected, and the questions along the newly selected track are presented in order of increasing difficulty until a second condition occurs. The new track selection and question presentation are repeated until a third condition occurs. The questions may be defined by a prime question and a series of subcomponents, which represent alternate presentations of the prime question. The results of the evaluation performed are assembled from sentence fragments corresponding to the prime question and series of subcomponents and are presented in a narrative form.
