A system for knowledge assessment and encouraging learning comprises transmitting to the a terminal a plurality of multiple choice questions and two-dimensional answers thereto, the answers including a plurality of full-confidence answers consisting of single-choice answers, a plurality of partial-confidence answers consisting of sets of multiple single-choice answers, and an unsure answer. The system further administers a confidence-based assessment (CBA) test that presents to the test subject the plurality of multiple choice questions directed to categorical topics, and the two-dimensional answers thereto, by which the test subject indicates both their substantive answer and the level of confidence category of their answer. The system compiles a knowledge profile from the scored CBA test, and encourages learning so that the user can address knowledge deficiencies as identified through the CBA test.

Method and system for knowledge assessment using confidence-based measurement

A method and system for knowledge assessment and learning that assesses the true knowledge of a human subject. The invention incorporates non-one dimensional testing techniques to obtain the subject's knowledge and associated confidence level. The invention produces an assessment or test profile, including formative and summative evaluation, which is correlated to a database of learning materials and presented to the subject for review and/or reeducation of the substantive response. The invention accommodates various test queries without regard to the specific nature of the queried subject. The present invention is adaptable for use in microprocessor-based stand alone computers, individual use or distributed in a client-server environment of a communication network. The system incorporates a plurality of user-interfaces and web browser dialog controls inputting the queries, administering the assessment, providing feedback to the system user and/or the test subject and providing learning materials according to the assessment profile.
