FormReturn OMR can be used for creating and automatically marking closed end type questionnaires for, MBTI tests (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) and aptitude / psychometric tests. Screen hundreds of candidates in minimal time and narrow down your recruitment search, without the need to manually calculate each person's personality type.
A selection of OMR Response sheet templates are available on the Template page.
For a business to run effectively it needs to ensure the employees chosen, suit the position assigned to them. It is a well known fact that there are many personality types and attitudes, which suit certain job types.
After years of studying human behaviour, the MBTI test was developed by Isabel Briggs Myer and her mother Katharine Cook Briggs, the wife of a scientist and psychoanalyst. The U.S. entry into World War II inspired Isabel, with her mother's help, to create a test that would ask questions that could predict a persons preferences, thereby indicating an extrovert or introvert personality type. The intention was, if people understood one another by understanding each others personality type, it could help resolve human conflict.
This has led to the use of specifically written multiple-choice assessments and aptitude tests by many large organizations for recruiting the right type of person for a particular job.

Some great Optional Features of the FormReturn OMR software:
- Customized, multiple-choice assessment forms can be designed using almost any layout you want, with as many checkboxes as you need and as many pages per form as you need.
- Easily see if all forms have been returned. When the scanned form images are uploaded into the software and processed, you can see straight away which ones haven't been processed from the list of the published forms stored in Captured data.
- Import question text from your existing assessment forms into a FormReturn form template. This is done via a CSV file.
- Add graphic designs using the form editor's tools and insert images to create a truly customised form design.
- Segments containing the questions and mark areas are designed separately and added to the form template. One or more segments can be added in which ever order you choose, or choose to have them randomly placed throughout the publication (eg: every form can contain the same banks of questions, but they will be ordered differently on each form).
- A Form ID Barcode is easily added to each form template page using the barcode tool and used during form processing for identifying the form template and linking the captured data to publication it belongs to.
- The form template is published, assigning it to a data table, anonymous forms would link to an empty data table.
- Print unique forms for distribution to each respondent using the
optional feature called Template Variable Replacement (similar to mail
merge)
- When you want to have pre-printed, anonymous forms on hand, but still want the form to correspond to a record in your data table, an ID Grid can be added to the form for identification of the respondents. The ID numbers correspond to a number recorded in your data table and are used to store the captured response data against the records.
- A barcode area can be added to the form design, and used to affix barcode labels of your own choosing for form identification and reconciling the captured response data with records in your data table. This is a handy feature if this is the type of system you already have in place.
