  2. Upload Start Cloud Quest XX.json file to your Analytics Cloud library.
  3. All necessary datasets are contained within Text Input tools in the workflow.

Scenario:

The Big Five personality traits—also called the five-factor model—are used to describe human personality across five key dimensions:  Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neuroticism, and Openness to Experience.

 

Each person in this dataset completed a survey with 50 statements, rating themselves from 1 to 5 on each factor. Your job is to calculate scores for each of the five traits based on these answers.

 

The questions and how they relate to each trait are provided in another dataset (Personality Factor Questions). For each question, it tells you which trait it belongs to and whether it’s scored positive or negative. If Positive, use the rating as-is. If Negative, subtract that value.

 

 

Your Tasks:

  1. Calculate a raw score for each user and each trait by summing the scores across all 10 questions for that trait.
  2. Apply the official scoring adjustments from OpenPsychometrics.org to compute the final scores:
  3. Output a final table showing each user’s score for all five traits.

Extraversion

20 + raw score

Agreeableness

14 + raw score

Conscientiousness

14 + raw score

Neuroticism

38 - raw score

Openness:

8 + raw score

 

Hint: Combine the Transpose and Cross Tab tools to reshape the dataset.

Had to get creative with RegEx and Data Cleanse for joins.

Here's my take

some questions like the 11th or 12th within a factor, were lost in this workflow... I would not formally report outcomes on this data before this would be resolved - good thing we can easily see what can be improvedsome questions like the 11th or 12th within a factor, were lost in this workflow...
