Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a psychological diagnostic device that psychologically determines a person's adaptability, etc., in an interactive manner, in aptitude diagnosis for job selection, etc.

(Conventional technology) All conventional psychological tests employ a method in which test takers read questions written on paper, select positive, negative, or neutral answers and fill them in. It was. In the case of such conventional paper-based psychological tests, the results are compiled by manually counting the number of responses, organizing the numbers by tabulating them or plotting them on graphs, and then providing data for subsequent analysis. It was. Additionally, although there are some examples of using computers for psychological tests, these are merely used to assist in tabulating responses, and the input of response data is based on data written on paper. This was done manually by the operator.

(Question B that the invention attempts to solve) This conventional psychological testing method has the following problems. First, test takers answer questions on paper and the answers are tallied manually or by computer, which not only takes too much time and effort, but also causes problems when test takers make mistakes when answering questions. Furthermore, even if there are no errors in the answers, errors are likely to occur when counting them manually or inputting them into a computer, and analysis is often performed with incorrect totals. was there.

In addition, since test takers can view all the questions in advance, they are able to grasp certain trends in the questions and answer them, which poses the problem of not being able to make a correct diagnosis.

In addition, because the content of conventional psychological diagnostic devices is uniform, it is difficult to discover the potential that each test taker has, and the raw data of answers is in written form. Because of its existence, there was a great risk that the secret would be leaked.

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a psychological diagnosis device that performs everything from asking questions to examinees' answers, and compiling and analyzing the answers in an interactive manner using a computer.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The psychological diagnosis device of the present invention includes a predetermined number of aptitude diagnosis item names classified into a plurality of categories, a number of questions greater than the number of questions for each aptitude diagnosis item, and intermediate diagnosis items. Judgment conditions for determining the answer results of a predetermined number of questions and selecting subsequent questions; analysis conditions for comprehensively analyzing all answers;
and a memory section that stores at least data for organizing and displaying analysis results, and temporarily holds input data in the middle of the diagnosis, and a memory section that stores the data for organizing and displaying the analysis results, and a memory section that temporarily stores the input data in the middle of the diagnosis, a processing unit that performs a process of selecting the next question based on the analysis conditions, a process of comprehensively analyzing all answer results based on the analysis conditions, and a process of converting the analysis results into desired data in an organized form; , a display unit that displays the question content and answers for the respondent to proceed with the answer in an interactive format, a display unit that outputs and displays the data of the analysis results of the answer, and a processing unit that processes the answer content, input data, and input data when the respondent answers the question. and an operation section for inputting commands to the display section. Further, the present invention is characterized in that it has means for measuring the response time of the examinee to each question and storing the measured value together with the response content, and the response time for each question is added to the data for analysis. Including things.

(Function) According to the present invention, when a test taker takes a diagnosis in an interactive format, the questions stored in the memory section are called up every interval and displayed on the display section. An answer of ``○'' or ``x'' is input from the operation section, and the answer is temporarily stored in the memory section, and when a predetermined number of questions have been answered, it is applied to the judgment condition stored in the memory section. Based on this, the processing section determines whether the answers given so far are inconsistent or fictitious, and selects supplementary questions to correct them.

Next, after all questions have been answered, the processing section analyzes the answer results based on the analysis conditions stored in the memory section and organizes them using the stored organizing data. The analysis results are displayed on the display.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, by having a means for measuring the response time of a test taker to each question and storing the measured value together with the answer content, the test taker is prompted to answer quickly after a certain period of time has elapsed. display a message,
In addition to the time required for answering as data for diagnosis,
It can be used as data for analysis and judgment.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, an aptitude diagnosis system for job selection, which is an embodiment of the psychological diagnosis apparatus of the present invention, will be described with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a memory section, which includes an internal memory of a computer and an external memory such as a magnetic disk device or a magnetic tape device. This memory section contains data that will be used to input the name, gender, age, etc. that identify the respondent taking the test, as well as the date of the test, the content of the 352 questions, and the data that will be used to randomly select and ask these questions. Random number table, judgment conditions for judging a predetermined number of answer results and selecting subsequent questions, analysis conditions for analyzing all answer results, multiple comments corresponding to the analysis results, organizing answer results and analysis results. Data etc. for display are stored.

The 352 questions consist of 2 questions each with positive and negative expressions for 172 types of content, and by asking them in a random order using a random number table, it is possible to determine whether the respondent's answer is positive or negative. This reduces the harmful effects of being biased in the opposite direction, and also makes it easier to discover contradictions caused by that bias.

Aptitude diagnosis items include emotional stability as basic aptitude;
5 items such as activity, 5 items such as cooperativeness and sociability for interpersonal relationships, 4 items such as thinking ability and judgment ability, etc. for general intelligence,
It consists of 22 items, including fictionality as a tendency to fake things.

Comments for each aptitude item regarding the answer results are obtained by adding up the answer results of the question group for each item and ranking them into three levels: upper, middle, and lower, and the comments corresponding to each rank are stored in the memory unit 1 in advance. are doing.

In addition, comments as a general review are also available,
This is done by ranking the answers to major classification items such as "basic characteristics" and "interpersonal relationships," and calling and combining sentences that are uniquely determined for each category.

Note that the memory unit 1 also has the function of temporarily holding answers sequentially input by examinees while the diagnosis is being performed.

2 is a processing unit that analyzes the answer results based on the judgment conditions stored in the memory unit 1 when a predetermined number of questions have been answered in the middle of the diagnosis, and then uses the judgment results to The process of selecting subsequent supplementary questions, the process of comprehensively analyzing the answer results of all questions based on the analysis conditions stored in the memory part l, and the analysis results stored in the memory part l. It executes processing such as converting data into a desired format using data for organized display.

Analysis based on the above judgment conditions can be performed, for example, by asking all the questions for each aptitude diagnosis item (from 5 to 100 questions for each item).
When a predetermined number of questions and answers have been completed, the answers are judged to be inconsistent or fictitious, and the content and expressions of the remaining questions are selected. If it is determined that there is a discrepancy in the answers, the content of the question that caused the discrepancy may be re-posed with a different wording, such as changing a question that was worded positively to a negative wording, or if necessary. If any, related supplementary questions are selected and additional questions are asked to automatically guide the answer in a direction that corrects the inconsistency. Furthermore, if it is determined that there is a falsity in the answer, relevant questions are selected and additional questions are asked in order to guide the answer to the truth or to understand in more detail the tendency to deceive.

It should be noted that the selection of questions to be added does not necessarily have to be done for each aptitude diagnosis item, but should be decided for each major category or comprehensively once all scheduled questions have been asked and answered. You may also do so.

3 is a display unit consisting of a color graphic display or the like. This display section 3 outputs and displays various comments necessary for the examinee to proceed with the answer in the interactive form 2, the contents of the question, answers as multiple choice techniques, and the analysis results of the answers. Reference numeral 4 denotes an operation section consisting of a keyboard, etc., which is used to input the contents of answers when examinees answer questions, input data to the memory section, commands to the processing section and display section, etc. 5 is a printer, which prints out the contents displayed on the display unit, the analysis results of answers, etc. An example of the "aptitude diagnosis item results" for each individual printed by the printer 5, "personal data" including general evaluations and checkpoints at the interview, and "occupation aptitude trends" that are graphs of aptitude by job type. They are shown in Tables 1 to 3, respectively. Next, the flow of processing during diagnosis in the aptitude diagnosis system of this embodiment will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2 to 8. First, Figure 2 shows the main flow of the ``title program'' for displaying the title, etc. of this system on the screen of the display unit. In this flow, the title of this system (for example, "New Suitable Materials Office"), precautions for handling this system, and the name of the supervisor are displayed, and the system moves to the next [Test System Menu].

In this subroutine, the operations of calling up and displaying the questions of the aptitude diagnostic test and inputting answers by the examinee to the questions are sequentially repeated until the end of the test. A in Figure 9
The part is BASIC [FOR-NEX
This is the part that makes up the T J statement, and the control variable Is is KIS (
This is a control statement for repeating the execution of part B in the figure by changing from (initial value) to SOT (closing value). Each time part B is executed, 1 is added to the control variable Is, and when Is reaches the final value SOT, the execution of this subroutine ends. When Is is smaller than the closing price SOT in part A, first the question display and the "answer time measurement subroutine" per period are executed, and then the "Ox subroutine" is executed. Part B of Fig. 9 is rWH I L of BAS I C.
E-WENDJ statement is made, and in this part, the control variable JAC is first set to 0, and the "○ × subroutine" is repeatedly executed, and when one question is asked and answered, JAC becomes 1, and B Go outside the club. Then, the response time per hour is calculated, 1 is added to Is, and the process returns to part A. Furthermore, when the value of the control variable OKU changes to a value other than O, the JACO value is forcibly set to 1 and the WHILE statement in part B is terminated.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart of the "XX input subroutine". In this subroutine, the examinee interactively answers a displayed question with either "○" or "x". When the response time for one period exceeds 5 seconds, a message saying "Please don't think too deeply" will be displayed to encourage you to answer, or you can select "○" or "×" on the display screen.

The execution contents of the subroutine expressed in IT8 are shown in the table on the right side of the figure.

Next, the state of the display screen of the display unit 3 when the examinee proceeds with the answer by executing the "Ox input subroutine" is shown in the 11th section.
As shown in Fig. and Fig. 12. In FIG. 11, the 191st [
In response to the question ``New things should be incorporated more and more,'' the answer is shown by selecting ``OJ,'' which affirms the new thing.

Once an answer has been decided, it can be canceled by pressing the space key and changed by moving the cursor. Figure 12 shows the answers to the 201st question, ``I can make decisions calmly even in sudden situations.''
The cursor is positioned at the "×" mark, indicating the screen in which the examinee is deciding on an answer. On this screen, since more than 5 seconds have passed since the current question was displayed, the message ``Please answer without thinking too deeply.'' is displayed. In addition, the 12th
When the return key is pressed once in the state shown in the figure, the answer is determined to be either "○" or "×" where the cursor is located at that time, and when the return key is pressed again, the answer is determined.

The display screens shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 are both displayed in color, and in particular, the block displaying the answer at the bottom left of the screen changes color depending on the stage in which the answer progresses. That is, for example, press the space key and use the cursor to
When you specify a position from "○" to "×", the cursor moves to the specified position (section C or D in the figure) and that section is displayed in green. Further, when the return key is pressed once to make the first decision, the C or D section where the cursor is located turns yellow, and when the return key is pressed again, it turns red, indicating that the answer has been decided. In this display screen,
Each question and its number, message,
Not only are ``○'' and ``x'' displayed as optional questions to answer, but also the test taker's name, number, age, gender, and current date and time are also displayed. In addition, in the E part of the diagram, when the cursor is in the C part, "○" is displayed, and when the cursor is in the D part, the "xJ" is displayed in a larger size, and by pressing the return key, you can see what answer is selected. We ensure that test takers do not make any mistakes.

By using the display screen as described above, only the two keys on the keyboard of the operation unit, namely the space key and the return key, are used as the conversion key and the enter key, respectively, and the color display is also utilized, making the operation easier. is simple and allows test takers to respond quickly and without errors.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, a psychological test with a wide range of contents can be conducted in an interactive format that is easy to operate, there is no error in answers or their aggregation, and moreover, it can be performed quickly and simply, and diagnosis can be performed quickly and easily. Results can also be output immediately.

Furthermore, since the responses are automatically tallied by the processing section, the contents of the responses will not be leaked to the outside, and therefore confidentiality can be easily maintained.

Furthermore, the reliability of the diagnostic results is high because it is easy to give answers based on intuition and it is difficult to give false answers.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, by measuring the test taker's response time, it is possible to not only eliminate the test taker's excessively long thinking, but also use the measurement results as data for analysis and use as judgment material for diagnosis.
