"Configuring Typeform Platform for Advanced Survey Features"

I am working with a psychometric test where certain adaptive skills are being evaluated.

The test will begin with a specific question determined by the participant's age. This approach helps save time for participants by avoiding questions that may be too easy o to difficult for them. If a participant encounters difficulty in answering questions within their designated 'age group,' and they receive a score of 0 for two consecutive questions, they will be directed to a simpler exercise targeting the same skill.

If a participant encounters difficulty in answering questions within their designated 'age group' and they receive a score of 0 for two consecutive questions, they will be directed to a simpler exercise targeting the same skill. However, it's important to note that these 0 scores are not considered incorrect responses but rather indicators of the participant's inability to answer or comprehend the questions. If a participant continues to receive 0 scores for two more consecutive questions in the simplified exercise, it suggests that the participant has reached their limit. We stop the test because our goal is to prevent participants from experiencing unnecessary stress due to repeated 0 scores.

For now, I have been attempting to configure these settings using logic functions.

Starting Point by Age: I had to create an initial age question that serves as a reference to direct the participant to their corresponding 'age-based starting section' using logic arguments. For example, if the respondent's age is less than 6, they start at question 1; if they are 6 or older, they are directed to question 8 without the need to answer preceding questions up to 8.

Reverse Sequence: If two consecutive items receive a score of 0, the survey should automatically backtrack to the previous item. For instance, if the respondent scores 0 points on items 4 and 5, the survey should revert to item 3.

To achieve this, I manually select a question and employ a logical function that, if a participant answers 0 in question 5 and also answers 0 in question 4, the survey should redirect them to question 3 (moving two questions back).

Regarding the suspension criteria, I'm employing a similar approach as the reverse sequence, but with the condition of four consecutive answers being 0. After meeting this criterion, the participant is directed to the end of the test. The challenge here lies in the fact that when attempting to apply this logic, it tends to trigger the reverse sequence or encounters an error due to the participant's starting point being higher than the items before it.
