A semantic differential processing system was designed to economically facilitate the collection and analyses of large amounts of data. The collection form was designed on an optical scanning form which may be overprinted with random orderings of concepts, scales, and scale polarities. A FORTRAN program "unscrambles" the scale responses.…
