Scoring Highlight Question for Correct/Incorrect Responses

I am using Qualtrics’s Highlight Question for a proofreading task which allows respondents to select errors in a sample of text. I have one category called “Click here to mark the error.” Here is an example:

 

When I export this data to CSV, the respondents’ answers are long strings of numbers separated by commas. For example, my response looks something like this within a single cell of a CSV file under column “Proofread_1”:  “1594,1607,1611,1619,1621,1625,1629,1637,1641,1646,1649” (quotations added by me).

My question is: How can I convert these numbers into scores indicating how many errors were identified correctly within Qualtrics?

If it’s not possible to create a sum score of correctly identified errors in Qualtrics, it would be helpful to export the data in a different format, perhaps by separating responses for each word into a separate column or coding each response as 1 = correct, 0 = incorrect.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

It would be better if you “Hotspot” or “Heatmap” Question type for this type of questions.

Hi,

You can separate each word by column in the export file by clicking “Split multi-value-fields into columns” in the export options.

If you want, you could add branches after your question in your survey flow and increment a counter for each correctly identified error. Obviously, if you have 2 pages of text to proofread, that will be quite painful to setup and you might want to see what is possible to do with custom javascript.
