Hello,
I have a survey that involves showing respondents an image and asking them several questions about the image. This is repeated 6 times, each time with a different image. The images need to be randomly selected from one of two lists. Each respondent needs to see exactly three images from list A and three images from list B. There are 50 images in list A and 50 images in list B. Is there any way to do this such that the respondent sees these 6 images in a random order? I don't want respondents to see all the list A images before the list B images or vice versa. They should be mixed together. I tried to set up a loop and merge with random selection but there seemed to be no way of ensuring even representation of list A and list B images.
Thank you
Randomly selecting images from two lists in a loop
+18ashb - You can do the following:
- Create a Multiple Choice Question for 50 images for list A. Randomize to only display 6 images.
- Create another Multiple Choice Question for 50 images for list B. Randomize to only display 6 images. Also, carry forward displayed choices from List A Multiple Choice Question. These forwarded choices should not be included in the randomization.
- Carry forward displayed choices from the previous question and randomize the order. You will now have 12 images and fully randomized. Loop and merge on these displayed choices.
- Since you would not want to display these questions to the respondent, use the following javascript in the above 3 questions:
jQuery("#NextButton").click();
Thank you! Quite a crazy process required for something seemingly quite simple. I've followed your advice and I think it is working except that the three hidden questions seem to flash on the screen briefly before being hidden when I run the preview. I checked the "look and feel" section and the page transitions are set to "none." I tried adding the code you provided to run "on load" and "on ready" (and on both) and I can't get the flashing to stop. I also tried using the following (which I found others proposing on the web)
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
jQuery('#Wrapper').css('visibility','hidden');
jQuery('#Wrapper').css('opacity','0');
jQuery("#NextButton").click();
});
It doesn't seem to work either. Any advice about how to avoid the flashing?
Thank you
+18ashb - Not sure if that can be avoided completely. However, the above Jquery works much better as the flash is only for a flick of a second.
