− | ''' | + | '''State and symptom surveying''' is about user answering and filling out values for amount something has happened in a just passed time period. Examples include tracking [[mood]] now, and back pain over the past 5 hours. This type of tool can be used to track almost anything but is vulnerable to the issues inherent in self assessment. Self questionnaire is a type of [[Manual input]]. Compared to [[Tools for journaling, thoughts and note taking|journaling and note taking]], survey and assessment is less flexible but much easier to analyze. |

Ratings '''drift''' is when user adjusts to some new average over time and that average becomes their new neutral. Sometimes this is caused by user not being to set in the ways they measure the phenomenon and exactly what ratings mean what. This is a problem because it creates false positives for tests and makes comparing between long time periods difficult. It is possible, but not recommended, to look at distribution, especially extremes, and guess at how ratings may have drifted. | Ratings '''drift''' is when user adjusts to some new average over time and that average becomes their new neutral.

− | '''Anchored Scales'''. User could connect each level of a scale to specific set of physical characteristics, for example how disruptive it was to user's every day work. This technique stops drift, is less ambiguous, and therefore faster too. In addition this means comparisons can be done between different variables that have the same scale. | + | '''Anchored Scales'''.

'''Simplify'''. Consider all the situations that may occur, information that is compressed into, and things that may influence the scale. The more complicated the variable the more ambiguity in it and effort it will require. It may be easier to split one variable into multiple different variables. | '''Simplify'''.
