Short: A personality sorter. BUG FIX Author: Fergus Duniho Uploader: fdnh troi cc rochester edu Type: misc/misc Architecture: m68k-amigaos "What is the DDLI?" =================== The Duniho and Duniho Life Pattern Indicator (DDLI) is a computerized personality questionaire. It asks you a series of multiple choice questions and tabulates your answers to indicate which of sixteen different psychological types (life patterns) you might be. These types correspond to the sixteen types measured by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. These types are based on four sets of preferences: Introversion vs. Extraversion iNtuition vs. Sensing Thinking vs. Feeling Perceiving vs. Judging The Dunihos in the DDLI's name are me, Fergus Duniho, and my father, Terence Duniho. I wrote the program, and my father and I wrote the questions. Many of the questions come from a couple other questionaires that my father has written. Using my knowledge of the structure of each type, which I picked up from my father, I added questions that test for other preferences (besides the four above) that each type has. I provided these as a check on the first set of questions. Here are some of the features of the DDLI: * It randomizes the order of the questions. * It randomizes the order of the answers to each question. * It lets you indicate no preference for each question. * It asks you to rank the strength of each preference. * It lets you save your answers at any time. * It lets you stop and resume at a later time. By saving your answers, you can load your answers into the DDLI and resume where you left off. * It lets you go back to any question and change your answer. * It tabulates the answers to two sets of questions and compares the results. "Latest Version" ================ "DDLI 3.40 -- QUESTIONS UPDATE & FEATURE UPDATE" ------------------------------------------------ * Using the data I have collected from people, I have changed (and hopefully improved) the questions. I think the DDLI will be somewhat more reliable now. * When you quit the DDLI with option 6, it will give you the opportunity to save your answers before you quit. * Added to the text that the DDLI displays. * The DDLI now writes extra text to the raw scores file, and it can read raw scores files with extra text at the beginning. * The DDLI now has you indicate your type by selecting a number instead of by writing it in. * The raw scores file format is modified to take up fewer lines, so that it will be easier to send across the Fidonet. "DDLI 3.41 -- BUG FIX" ---------------------- * DDLI 3.40 wouldn't read in a scores file, and it didn't cooperate with some changes I made to ddli.qst. I fixed these bugs.
