Measure progress in a longitudinal assessment

What is a longitudinal assessment?

Simply put, a longitudinal assessment measures change over time. It is a way of understanding respondents or cohorts by measuring the same traits, characteristics, or success measures repetitively. This clearly shows changes, progress, or trends in a subject, team, or organization.

Building your longitudinal assessment brilliantly

Define performance indicators

Before building your longitudinal assessment, it’s helpful to map out what you want to measure. This will help inform how you score your assessment and set up ratings that ultimately track change over time.

Create iterations for reassessment

There are many ways to create iterations in Brilliant Assessments, and the right method depends on the nature of your longitudinal assessment. Popular iterations are before and after training, year-on-year comparisons of organizational cultural changes, and skills assessments post-onboarding.

Craft detailed feedback reports

Produce feedback based on answers and highlight differences between assessments. Deliver feedback in charts or as detailed, specific text.

Feedback may be delivered as dynamic results or downloadable reports in PDF or Word format.

A brilliant experience for respondents

Brilliant Assessments can automatically fill in the information fields of respondents based on previous responses. This increases response rates, helps respondents get their answers in quickly and also gives every assessment a personal touch.
