How You Determine the Number of Questions to Add to a Potential Assessment Questionnaire
To get a valid potential rating, you need to add enough questions so that the total of the numeric value of the responses maps to an appropriate level in the review points.
Let's now using some examples discuss how to decide the number of questions to add to a potential assessment questionnaire.
Consider the rating model configuration shown in this table.

The number of questions must ensure that the review points from the Potential Assessment rating model map to the review points range in the Potential rating model.
Let's assume that there are 7 questions. Here's the total points for each rating level in the Potential Assessment rating model.
-
Rating Level 1: 7 * 1 = 7 points
-
Rating Level 2: 7 * 2 = 14 points
-
Rating Level 3: 7 * 3 = 21 points
You can see that for Rating Level 3, the total points is less than the review points range of the Potential rating model.
Now, let's assume that there are 8 questions. Here's the total points for each rating level in the Potential Assessment rating model.
-
Rating Level 1: 8 * 1 = 8 points
-
Rating Level 2: 8 * 2 = 16 points
-
Rating Level 3: 8 * 3 = 24 points
All these scores from the Potential Assessment rating model map correctly to the review points range in the Potential rating model. This shows that you need to create 8 questions to rate potential.
Now, consider the rating model configuration shown in this table. The review points range is changed here.
