Description

METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PERSONALITY TEST SERVICE USING AN IPSATIVE SCALE AND APPARATUS THEREOF

The following embodiments relate to a method and apparatus for providing an introspective personality test service.

The personality test is a structured personality measurement tool that is widely used to identify targets in recruitment and selection, education, and training. Personality test presents users with multiple items that match the operational definition of personality constructing concepts (extroversion, conscientiousness, etc.), and measures their personality by quantifying their response tendencies. There are a normative comparative test form and an ipsative comparative test form as the test format mainly used in the personality test.

The implicit comparative test format is a test format that uses a forced-choice scale that selects one item corresponding to the choice scale from among a plurality of items, and scores the degree of closeness and agreement with one's own propensity for each item. It can be contrasted with the normative comparative test method that uses a Likert scale that responds with In the case of the normative personality test, a response box is provided for each item and the test paper can be configured to record the response of a set scale, but in the case of the intrinsic personality test, the one closest to one's disposition is the most distant from among a plurality of options. Since one has to select one, as shown in the table below, when the test paper is configured in the same format as the normative personality test, it may be mistakenly understood that the user has to select one of the furthest and the closest for each option.

question number Choose one of the following, one that is close to your own inclination, and one that is far from you. close far Question 1 good at tidying up not afraid of failure good at speaking tranquil

Therefore, in order to derive accurate results through the endogenous personality test, there is a need to provide a new endogenous personality test format that does not cause confusion to users.

1 is a view for explaining a method of providing an intrinsic personality test service according to an embodiment.

In the embodiment, the ipsative personality test is a personality test using an implicit comparison test method that allows the user to select at least one of a plurality of response items included in the question as a response, for example, a plurality of personality-related personality tests. Of the response items (“well-organized”, “not afraid of failure”, “speaking well” and “calm”), either “closest to one’s disposition” or “farthest from one’s disposition” It may correspond to a personality test in the form of selecting The personality test may be understood as a concept including a personality test, an aptitude test, or a combination thereof.

A method of providing an endogenous personality test service in an embodiment according to FIG. 1 includes receiving a set of items including a plurality of response items for the endogenous personality test (110), a selection scale and response items Providing an interface for displaying (120), receiving a user input for selecting a response item corresponding to the selection scale (130), mapping the response item to the selection scale (140), and mapping the response item to the selection scale and displaying (150) other selection measures that have not been selected.

In step 110 according to an embodiment, the item set may correspond to a step in which at least one item set for the intrinsic personality test is received from a stored memory or server to the user's terminal. The item set (set) includes a plurality of response items that the user can select as a response corresponding to the selection scale, for example, a plurality of response items that can be selected as a response of the user (“well organized”, "not afraid of failure", "well-spoken" and "calm"). As will be described in detail below, a plurality of selection criteria may be sequentially provided in response to one set of questions during the examination process. For example, the test may be performed to select the one closest to the individual's disposition from among a plurality of response items included in one item set, and then select the one most distant from the individual's disposition from among the remaining response items. A plurality of selection criteria may be predetermined for the personality test, or a plurality of selection criteria may be further included in the item set according to an embodiment.

A response item according to an embodiment may include a fingerprint corresponding to a personality type. In an embodiment, the response item may correspond to a fingerprint classified into any one of a plurality of predefined personality types. In an embodiment, each of the plurality of response items included in the same item set may correspond to a fingerprint classified into different personality types.

For example, if four personality types are defined: “systematic”, “achievement-oriented”, “fairness” and “calm”, multiple response items included in the same set of questions will be classified as “systematic” in response item A (e.g., "well organized"), response item B classified as "achievement-oriented" (e.g., "not afraid of failure"), and response item C classified as "fairness" (e.g. , "speaking well"), and "calm" may consist of response item D (eg, "calm").

The selection scale is a criterion that allows the user to select at least one of a plurality of response items included in the question, for example, a scale that selects the one closest to the user's inclination or the scale that selects the one farthest from the user's inclination is selected It may correspond to a scale, etc. Hereinafter, a scale for selecting the one closest to one's own inclination may be referred to as a "closest one" selection scale, and a scale for selecting the one most distant from one's own inclination may be referred to as a "most distant" selection scale.

The configuration of the interface provided in step 120 according to an embodiment may refer to FIG. 2 . Referring to FIG. 2 , the interface provided in step 120 according to an embodiment displays a first area 210 displaying a selection scale of a response item from a set of items and a plurality of response items included in the set of items. and a second region 220 to According to an embodiment, the third area 230 for displaying the remaining time for answering the item set and/or the fourth area for receiving an input for moving to the next item set although not shown in FIG. 2 may be further included.

Each region of the interface according to the embodiment may be displayed with various visual configurations such as text, color, mark, and visual effects, or a combination of a plurality of various visual configurations. The cover may include various visual shapes including icons and figures, and the visual effects may include color, texture, pattern, shading, wallpaper, border effect, and the like. Hereinafter, various visual configurations such as text, colors, signs, and visual effects may be briefly referred to as “visual configurations” or “configurations”. According to an embodiment, displaying the information in each area of the interface includes displaying text corresponding to the information in each area of the interface, adding a mark corresponding to the information, and removing the mark corresponding to the information. And it may correspond to performing at least one of an operation including providing a visual effect corresponding to the information.

The first area 210 of FIG. 2 according to an exemplary embodiment may include various visual components to display a selection measure, and a configuration may be set differently to be displayed separately from other selection measures. For example, referring to the first regions 400 and 420 of FIGS. 4A and 4B , when the selection scale of “closest” is displayed in the first region, the structure of the text of “closest” and “most It can be set to include an underlined configuration of the first color corresponding to the selection scale of “closest one”, and referring to the first regions 500 and 520 of FIGS. 5A and 5B , the selection scale of “farthest” is displayed In this case, it can be set to include the text composition of "farthest" and the underline composition of the second color corresponding to the selection scale of "farthest".

According to an embodiment, the second area 220 of FIG. 2 may include various visual configurations to display a plurality of response items included in the question set. As will be described in detail below, information indicating that a response item is mapped as a response corresponding to a selection criterion may be displayed in the second region 220 according to the embodiment. According to an embodiment, in order to display information that a response item is mapped to a response corresponding to the selection measure, the response item may be displayed in the second area separately from other selection measures. According to a specific embodiment, distinguishing the display from other selection scales may correspond to an operation of changing the configuration of the region in which the response item is displayed in the second region to a configuration corresponding to the selection scale. For example, the operation of adding a mark corresponding to information indicating that the response item is mapped to the selection scale in the displayed area and/or changing the color of the area in which the response item is displayed in the second area to a color corresponding to the selection scale may include

According to an embodiment, each of the response items may correspond to any one of a plurality of states, and a visual effect to be given to the response item may be determined according to the corresponding state. For example, the plurality of states may include a selectable state, a selected state, and a non-selectable state. In addition, the selection state may be divided into detailed states (such as the first selection criterion and the mapped detailed state) for each mapped selection criterion. As will be described in detail below, a basic effect of the third color may be provided to the response item in the selectable state, and a visual effect of the fourth color distinguished from the third color may be provided to the response item in the non-selectable state. In addition, visual effects of different colors may be given to response items in a selection state for each mapped selection scale. Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a color is given as a visual effect will be described for convenience of description, but it may be designed to apply various visual effects other than color such as shading, a background screen, and a border effect.

In step 130 of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment, the user's input may be received in various ways through various input devices, such as a click through a mouse, a key input through a keyboard, and a touch through a touch screen. The user's input received in step 130 according to an embodiment is an input corresponding to any one of an input for selecting a response item, an input for deselecting a response item, and an input for moving to the next set of items. can be judged as According to an embodiment, the configuration of the interface may be changed based on the determination result of the user input received in step 130 . The change of the interface configuration based on the user's input will be described later with reference to FIG. 3 .

When the user's input corresponds to an input for selecting a first response item that is not mapped to a response corresponding to another selection criterion among a plurality of response items in step 140 of FIG. 1 according to the embodiment, the first response item An operation of mapping ? to a selection measure may occur.

The operation of mapping the response item selected by the user with the selection scale is an operation of matching the response item and the selection scale. For example, information indicating that the response item is mapped to a response corresponding to the selection scale is stored in memory (or the information is stored in the server ), and displaying information that the response item is mapped to a response corresponding to the selection criterion on the interface.

According to an embodiment, when there is a user input for selecting a first response item that is not mapped to a response corresponding to another selection criterion among a plurality of response items, the first response item is displayed in the second area of the interface By setting the configuration of the region to a configuration corresponding to the selection scale and displaying it separately from other selection scales, information that the first response item is mapped to a response corresponding to the selection scale can be intuitively provided to the user. As described above, displaying the information that is mapped separately from other selection scales means that various visual configurations such as text, color, sign, and visual effect included in the area where the response item is displayed in the second area are mapped to other selection scales. The configuration of the region in which the response item is displayed and the configuration of the response item not mapped to the selection scale may correspond to being set differently from the configuration of the displayed region.

For example, when the response item 221 is mapped to a response corresponding to the selection scale 211 in FIG. 2 , in order to display information that the response item 221 is mapped as a response corresponding to the selection scale 211 In the second area 220 , the response item 221 may be displayed separately from other selection scales. For example, in the second region 220 , the configuration 225 of the region in which the response items mapped to the selection scale 211 are displayed, the configuration 227 of the region in which other response items mapped to other selection scales are displayed, and the selection scale It can be set differently from the configurations 226 and 228 of the area in which other response items not mapped to . For example, referring to FIG. 5B , the color of the region 532 in which the response item mapped to the response corresponding to the selection scale of “closest” is displayed may be set as the first color, and “farthest” The color of the area 534 in which the response item mapped to the response corresponding to the selection scale of " is displayed may be set to the second color, and the configuration of the areas 531 and 533 in which the response item not mapped to the selection scale is displayed is The third color may be set. According to an embodiment, when a response item is mapped to each of all selection scales as shown in FIG. 6b and a response to a set of items is completed, the state corresponding to the unmapped response item is changed from the selectable state to the non-selectable state, and the mapping The configuration of the regions 631 and 633 in which non-response items are displayed may be changed to a color (fourth color) corresponding to the non-selectable state by being distinguished from the color (third color) corresponding to the selectable state.

According to an embodiment, when there is a user input for selecting the first response item, information indicating that the first response item is mapped to the selection scale may be stored in the memory. A detailed operation process of the memory will be described later with reference to FIG. 7 .

In step 150 of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment, if there is a selection measure to which a response item is not yet mapped among the plurality of selection measures, the selection measure to which the response item is not yet mapped is displayed in the first area of the interface. can For example, referring to FIGS. 4B and 5A , when a response item (“not afraid of failure”) is mapped to a response corresponding to a selection scale of “closest”, selection of “closest” In the first region 420 of FIG. 4B where the scale was displayed, a selection scale of “the farthest”, which is a selection scale to which a response item is not yet mapped, may be displayed and changed to the first region 500 of FIG. 5A .

According to the embodiment, when a response item is mapped to a response corresponding to each of the plurality of selection scales in the item set, the selection scale of the next item set is displayed in the first area, and the selection scale of the next item set is displayed in the second area. An operation of moving to the next item set by displaying a plurality of response items may be performed. According to an embodiment, moving to the next item set receives an input for moving to the next item set from the user, and displays a selection scale of the item set and a plurality of response items in response to the input for moving to the next item set operation may be performed. According to an embodiment, the user's input for moving to the next set of items may be received through the fourth area of the interface.

According to an embodiment, a function for canceling a pre-selected response in the item set may be provided. For example, when the user's input corresponds to an input for reselecting a second response item already mapped to a response corresponding to another selection criterion among the plurality of response items, the operation of de-mapping the second response item may be performed. can occur

Unmapping the second response item is to cancel mapping of the second response item to a response corresponding to another selection measure, for example, deleting mapping information of the second response item from the memory, and mapping displayed in the interface. It may correspond to the removal of information.

When there is a user input for reselecting the second response item, information indicating that the second response item is mapped to a response corresponding to another selection criterion may be removed from the second area of the interface. In some embodiments, removing the mapped information may correspond to performing a change of returning the configuration of the region in which the second response item is displayed to the configuration corresponding to the selectable state. The configuration corresponding to the selectable state according to the embodiment may correspond to the configuration of the area in which the response item is displayed before the response item is mapped. For example, if there is an input that reselects a response item ("not afraid to fail") mapped to a selection scale of "closest" in FIG. 4B, the response item is marked to unmap the response item. A change may be performed to return the configuration of the region 432 to the configuration of the displayed region 412 of the response item before the response item of FIG. 4A was mapped.

According to an embodiment, when there is a user input for reselecting the second response item, information indicating that the second response item is mapped to another selection criterion may be deleted from the memory.

According to an embodiment, a predetermined time may be allocated to each item set, and the remaining time for answering the set of items may be displayed in an area displaying the remaining time of the interface. The remaining time according to an embodiment may correspond to a time obtained by subtracting a time required for answering the set of items from a predetermined time. The time taken for answering the set of items according to the embodiment may correspond to a time from when the set of items is first displayed on the interface until moving to the next set of items. For example, if the predetermined time for a set of items is 10 seconds, the remaining time is 10 seconds in the area 230 displaying the remaining time every second from the moment when the set of items is first displayed on the interface to the moment when the set of items is moved to the next set of items. It can be displayed in decreasing increments of 1 second. According to an embodiment, when the remaining time has elapsed, the interface may be changed to a state in which a response related to a corresponding item set cannot be input any more, even if all responses according to the plurality of selection criteria have not been input.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of changing an interface based on a determination result of the received input, starting with the reception of a user's input.

When a user's input is received in the embodiment of FIG. 3 , it is determined ( 310 ) whether the user's input is an input for selecting one of a plurality of response items. When it is determined that the user's input is an input for selecting a response item ( 311 ), it is determined whether the selected response item is a response item already mapped to a response corresponding to another selection criterion ( 320 ).

According to an embodiment, when it corresponds to an already mapped response item ( 321 ), an operation corresponding to the unmapping indication 301 may be performed. The unmapping indication 301 may correspond to a change in the interface for removing information that the response item selected in the second area of the interface is mapped to a response corresponding to the selection criterion. For example, when a mark corresponding to the information indicating that the response item is mapped to the selection scale is added to the area displaying the response item, the operation may include removing the corresponding mark. According to an embodiment, removing the mapped information may include returning the configuration of the region in which the response item mapped to the selection scale is displayed to the configuration of the region in which the response item is displayed before the response item is mapped. For example, the unmapping indication 301 shows the configuration of the area 432 in which the response items mapped to the selection scale of "closest" in FIG. 4B are displayed, and the area in which the response items are displayed before the response items in FIG. 4A are mapped. It may correspond to the operation of returning to the configuration of (412). The unmapping display 301 according to an embodiment may correspond to an operation of differently setting the configuration of the area in which the response item is displayed in the second area to display information indicating that the mapping of the response item is released.

According to an embodiment, the unmapping display 301 may include an operation of changing the selection scale display of the first region. According to an embodiment, a selection measure to which a response item is not mapped may be displayed in the first area while the mapping between the selection measure and the response item is released. For example, when there are multiple response items ("not afraid of failure", "calm") mapped to the selection scale as in the case of FIG. 5B or 6B, the response mapped to the selection scale of "closest" The unmapping display 301 performed in response to an input of selecting an item (“not afraid of failure”) is the configuration of regions 532 and 632 in which the response item of FIG. 5B or 6B is displayed is the response item of FIG. 6A . It may include an operation of changing the configuration of the displayed region 612 and an operation of displaying a selection scale of “closest” to which a response item is not mapped to the first region 600 . Similarly, the unmapping indication 301 performed in response to an input selecting a response item (“calm”) mapped to a selection scale of “farthest” is shown in the area 534, in which the response item of FIG. 5B or 6B is displayed. 634) includes an operation of changing the configuration of the region 514 in which the response item of FIG. 5A is displayed and an operation of displaying a selection scale of “the farthest” in which the response item is not mapped in the first region 500 . can do.

In FIG. 3 , when the response item selected by the user does not correspond to the already mapped response item ( 322 ), an operation corresponding to the mapping display 302 corresponding to the selection criterion on the interface may be performed. According to an embodiment, the mapping display 302 corresponding to the selection measure corresponds to a change in the interface that displays information indicating that the response item is mapped as a response corresponding to the selection criterion in the second area of the interface, separately from other selection measures. can do. According to an embodiment, the method may include adding a mark corresponding to the information indicating that the response item is mapped to the selection scale in the displayed region in the second region, and according to the embodiment, a visual effect of the region in which the response item is displayed is applied to the selection scale. It may include an action to change to a corresponding visual effect.

For example, in FIG. 4A , a mapping representation 302 corresponding to a selection measure performed in response to an input of selecting a response item (“not afraid to fail”) is shown in FIG. 4A as “closest” to the area 412 in which the response item is displayed. Add a mark corresponding to the information that it is mapped to the selection scale of "thing", and change the color of the area 412 in which the response item is displayed to the third color corresponding to the selectable state in the third color corresponding to the selection scale of "nearest". It may include an operation of changing to 1 color and changing the configuration of the area 432 in which the response item of FIG. 4B is displayed. As another example, in FIG. 5A , a mapping representation 302 corresponding to a selection measure performed in response to an input for selecting a response item (“calm”) may be displayed in the configuration of the region 514 in which the response item is displayed as “farthest”. adding a marker corresponding to the information that it has been mapped to the selection scale of "something", and changing the color of the region 514 in which the response item is displayed to the third color corresponding to the selectable state in the third color corresponding to the selection scale of "farthest" It may be included in the operation of changing to the configuration of the area 534 in which the response item of FIG. 5B is displayed by changing to 2 colors.

If the response item selected by the user does not correspond to the already mapped response item ( 322 ), after displaying the mapping corresponding to the selection measure on the interface ( 302 ), it is determined whether the response item is mapped to each of the plurality of selection measures ( 330 ) )do. When a response item is mapped to each of the plurality of selection scales in the item set ( 331 ), an operation corresponding to the response completion indication 303 may be performed. According to an embodiment, the response completion indication 303 may correspond to a change in the interface configuration indicating that the response to the question set is completed by mapping the response item to each of all selection measures in the question set. According to an embodiment, an operation of displaying in the first area information that a response item corresponding to each of all selection measures in an item set is mapped and a response corresponding to a plurality of selection measures among a plurality of response items included in the item set It may include at least one of the operation of displaying the remaining response item(s) that are not mapped to . The operation of displaying a response item in a non-selectable state according to an embodiment may correspond to an operation of separately displaying an unmapped response item from a selectable state and a selected state.

For example, in FIG. 5B , in the response completion indication 303 , which is performed by mapping response items corresponding to all selection scales in the item set, the selection scale indication is deleted from the configuration of the first area 520 and the response completion The color of the regions 531 and 533 in which unmapped response items are displayed as a response corresponding to the operation of changing the configuration of the first region 620 of FIG. 6B and a plurality of selection scales by adding text corresponding to the response The third color corresponding to the selectable state before this is completed is changed to the fourth color corresponding to the non-selectable state after the response is completed, and the unmapped response item of FIG. 6B is displayed. Changed to the configuration of areas 631 and 633 It may correspond to the action being According to an embodiment, an operation corresponding to the mapping indication 302 corresponding to the selection criterion and an operation corresponding to the response completion indication 303 may be simultaneously performed.
