Creating Interview Scoring Forms
Overview
You can create scoring forms while configuring your session or from the Scoring Forms section in the left menu. Either way, the form is added to your Scoring Forms section, allowing you to use it in any room as needed.
When creating a form, add the questions or criteria to be rated on a 1–5 scale, along with the weighting factor. Keep in mind that the overall average score will be adjusted to fit within the session scoring range you set when creating a session. For example, if the range is set to 1–10, the average of individual 1–5 ratings will be scaled up to match the 1–10 range. Similarly, if the range is set to 1–3, the average of itemized scores will be scaled down to fit within the 1–3 range. This ensures consistency across scoring types.
How Factors Work
Itemized questions include factors for weighting. The default factor for each question is 1, but you can choose to enter higher numbers to place more weight on specific questions. For example, you might have three questions and choose to weight one of them as double that of the others:
- Clinical Reasoning & Decision-Making: factor = 2
- Ability to Handle Stress & Adaptability: factor = 1
- Teamwork & Leadership: factor = 1
When interviewers provide their scores, each score is multiplied by the question's corresponding factor. These weighted scores are then summed and divided by the total sum of factors used. Here's an example:
Suppose the interviewer provides the following scores on a scale of 1–5:
- Clinical Reasoning & Decision-Making: score = 5
- Ability to Handle Stress & Adaptability: score = 4
- Teamwork & Leadership: score = 5
The calculation works as follows:
- Scores are first multiplied by the factors:
- Clinical Reasoning & Decision-Making: 5 x 2= 10
- Ability to Handle Stress & Adaptability: 4 x 1= 4
- Teamwork & Leadership: 5 x 1 = 5
- Each individual score is summed:
- Total Score: 10 + 4 + 5 = 19
- The sum of all weighted scores is divided by the sum of all factors:
- Weighted Score: 19 / (2 + 1 + 1) = 4.75
- The scores are then adjusted based on the session scoring range you set when you created the session.
