Abstract
A questionnaire producing and aiding system according to the present invention is arranged to store a questionnaire element including a question and a plurality of reply choices which have been previously produced in a memory thereof. When a questionnaire is produced, the saved questionnaire element is used while adding, correcting and deleting the contents so that a questionnaire sheet is produced. Therefore, the questionnaire producing operation can be performed efficiently. The data about the produced questionnaire sheet are stored in a portable recording medium. The questionnaire reply gathering system according to the present invention is arranged to read data about the questionnaire sheet from the storage medium to display the contents of the questionnaire sheet on the terminal display apparatus, and to gather reply data supplied from the terminal input apparatus to be stored in the portable storage medium. The questionnaire reply gathering system is constituted by a small portable computer so that a questionnaire can be conducted after it has been moved to an arbitrary place. The questionnaire totalizing and analyzing system according to the present invention performs a totalizing process and an analyzing process by reading instructed reply data from the storage medium. As described above, data are transmitted/received between systems by means of the portable recording medium so that a necessity of establishing a direct connection between systems by using communication lines or external input apparatus can be eliminated, and thereby the handling facility can be improved.
