Good luck with that. You have no idea of what you're up against. Let's just start with the basics:
1) Which types of attention will you measure and how do you differentiate between them?
2) Do you have an extensive body of testing to establish baselines, normals, standard deviations, and the like?
3) Do you expect a psychiatrist to write a prescription of a scheduled drug for anyone based on something they downloaded off of, say, sourceforge, or cloned out of GitHub?
Even if you valued your time at a buck an hour, you're not gonna get cheaper than forking over your precious currency to some rent-seeker.
- Y_Y 6y agoDude, I mean to copy the existing test. Also it takes much less than to get a scrip, just those shitty questionnaires. And I would if it time well spent if it helped me and others to manage their illness.
- at_a_remove 6y agoWell, you can try to copy the existing test, but you won't know how to calibrate any of the scores. It's a reaction test, based on times. The most you can copy is "see a letter, press a spacebar" functionality. They're not going to give you the source and they're not going to give you the base data. You can test people for times but you don't know the cutoffs or the norms for those times. You don't even know if high or low of a norm is a sign of attention or inattention. You'd have an easier time replicating the MMPI. But go for it.
- Y_Y 6y agoNice try, big psychometrics.
