Variations in Questions and Scores
Hey All,
Has anyone tried to alter the questions and their responses/scores to try to make the tool more meaningful?
I'm from the Islamic Microfinance Unit of UK-based Islamic Relief Worldwide. We have developed an Android device form that takes the responses to our central MIS where all the scores are generated. We've piloted in Pakistan and we're in an early stage of the usage but we're mainly assessing how deep our outreach is.
However, we have noticed that some responses and their scores are a bit broad. For ex.:
10. Does the household own a motorcycle, scooter, car, or other vehicle?
A. No 0
B. Yes 12
Now having a bicycle would give the person 12. Having an old worn-out motorcycle will also give them a 12. And having a car will also give them a 12. So it's clubbing individuals from highly varying income backgrounds into one group. Same is the case with some other questions.
Has anyone figured out how this broad generalization can be addressed?
Regards,
Jasim
