A semi-promotional article on the QUIS was written in 1990, and may shed some additional light on what the QUIS is and can do.

Notes on Analysis of QUIS Data: This note gives a number of suggestions on how to analyze the data and interpret results from the QUIS.

The QUIS 7.0 will run on any platform that supports a full implementation of JavaScript.

QUIS questions are answered with 0 to 9 ratings: positive adjectives anchor the right side and negative adjectives anchor the left. The QUIS has shown high validity and reliability, unlike many of the measures that have come before it. See Chin, Diehl, & Norman (1988) for information.

Questions and comments are encouraged. If you are interested in the QUIS, please contact Dr. Kent L. Norman at the address listed on the Contacts page.
