FORESEE RESULTS MASTER ELEMENT LIST - THE ACSI (AMERICAN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION INDEX) |
Satisfaction |
What is your overall satisfaction with this site? (1=Very Dissatisfied, 10=Very Satisfied) |
How well does this site meet your expectations? (1=Falls Short, 10=Exceeds) |
How does this site compare to your idea of an ideal website? (1=Not Very Close, 10=Very Close) |
ABOUT THE SATISFACTION QUESTIONS: |
The Satisfaction questions are the core of our methodology. These questions, asked in this way, are the index that predicts financial performance at the micro and macro levels. |
The Satisfaction questions can't have "don't know" as an answer choice because cases with "don't knows" instead of 1-10 ratings provide no useful information to the model. |
It is permissible to adapt question wording slightly, in certain ways. (Examples: you can replace "this site" with a specific website's name, or you can change "ideal website" to "ideal financial website", etc.) |
