Raw value
In the psychological diagnosis usual term for the result of psychological tests as a summary measure of a feature due to the associated test items (z. B. Point as a sum of correct answers or answers a certain tendency). It is the unstandardized values that the evaluation of a test initially delivers. In order to be able to evaluate and interpret the characteristic measured with the test (e.g. compare between people), it must be converted into a standard value .
For example, in the case of multi-level ratings , each response level usually corresponds to a certain intensity of the expression of the characteristic to be measured; these values for all items are also added to a raw value per characteristic.
