Abstract

A display evaluative tool called the “Analytic Profile System” (APS) was developed and tested. The scorable factors included in the APS are based on the results of a multidimensional scaling of the display-observer interface. The technique itself rests on forced-choice methods and is held to possess acceptable psychometric characteristics.
