Well, we had to make a questionnaire reflecting the student's levels of motivation, ambition and self esteem. It took me a while to figure it out, so here we go.

Questions  2, 4, 8 and 10 deal with ambition.
Questions  1, 7, 9 and  13 deal with motivation.
Questions  3, 5, 11 and 12 deal with self esteem

Questions  8, 14, 15 and 16 deal with introvertion/extrovertion

I would evaluate this test using simple math, I have 4 different questions about each personality factor (self esteem, motivation, ambition and introertion/extrovertion).

The percentage of the first test would be obtained using a scale, for example, ambition has 3 questions, with a possibility of 50%, so if we get 2 answers that are positive and one negative, we would be 66.6% ambitious.

In the second test, we would use the same formula, except using 50%, we would substitute 75% for a never or always and a 25% for a sometimes or frequently, then we find the average. For example, we would use self esteem, which has 2 questions. We could answer always and sometimes, which gives me 100%, dividing it by 2, would make the student 50% ambitious.

Then, I would find the average of all the scores in a particular category and  come up with the final result.

I got a little carried away with the mathematics, but it's a subject I really miss from school. I put a lot of thought into this questionnaire, hope it turns out well. Getting ready for another busy weekend full of work, take care everybody.
