Question Bank Scoring

Associated Dimensions

Associated dimensions are named competencies — Verbal Reasoning, Attention to Detail, Grammar — you attach to a question so results roll up into a per-dimension breakdown alongside the overall score, not just a single number.

Associated dimensions are named competencies — “Verbal Reasoning”, “Attention to Detail”, “Grammar” — that you attach to questions. A question can contribute to one or several dimensions, and reports then show a per-dimension breakdown next to the overall score.

Example: a 40-question aptitude test tags each question with one of Numerical, Verbal, or Abstract. The candidate's report shows the total score plus three dimension scores — revealing that a mid-range overall performer is actually excellent numerically but weak verbally. Dimensions also power step prerequisites (gate a step on a dimension score) and analytics comparisons.

Define dimension names consistently across your question bank — the same spelling everywhere — so scores aggregate correctly when questions from different folders meet in one test. A Question Bank Schema can enforce this.

Associated vs Scored Dimensions

The dimensions described above are associated dimensions: each receives the question's overall score. For questions where one answer should be scored differently per competency — an essay earning 80% for structure but 30% for vocabulary — use scored dimensions instead: see Scored Dimensions.

Both kinds can coexist on one question as long as their paths don't overlap — dimension results roll up path segments, so overlap would double-count. Valid: scored Aptitude/Deductive Reasoning with associated Overall/Aptitude. Invalid: scored Aptitude/Deductive Reasoning with associated Aptitude — the editor blocks this.
