Psychometric_IQ_Team_Formation

Psychometric test, IQ test and Team Formation App with Python using GUI

To begin with, the title of our paper is "Psychometric_IQ_Team_Formation", whereas originally it was "IQ_SQUAD_GAME" and we thought the new title fits better. As the title suggests, our application is based on two main pillars and concludes with the third and main one, the goal. One pillar is the psychometric test through which the user is categorized as a role in a team for work. These roles depend on the answers given in the test and are: -Leader, -Researcher, -Creative and -Member. Then, the second pillar is the IQ test, which contains mathematical operations, mini-games (Hanoi, Hangman) and general knowledge questions. By completing the test the user gets a symbolic score that reflects how well the user did and in a subsequent evolution could reflect the user's actual IQ. The final pillar is that of group formation which is the main reason for the existence of our application. After fulfilling the previous tests, and having performed them for an honest number of users (e.g. 10+), the application displays the teams that can be formed but with the criterion of having the right combination of roles to make the teams as efficient as possible in their tasks. Finally, all the users who used the application are also shown separately, accompanied by their roles and their score, and in a separate window the user or users with the highest score.

We decided to create this app for a university project. Our university is Ionian University Department of Informatics.

To help students create the best and most efficient teams possible.

It solves the problem of creating teams in group projects.

Through this app we learnt coding in python, use and create GUI, handle databases with sqlite3, manage with pressure and time and cooperate with each other.

The fact that it's free, open source and helps students have a better university experience.

Firstly, the user chooses between greek or english language and the order of the tests that he/she will take. Then, the user proceeds to register or login to our app using his/her Ionian University id and get his/her credentials stored to our database. After, he/she takes the tests by the chosen order. The test are IQ testing and Psychometric. The IQ test consists of some mini games fun to take and some general knowledge questions. The psychometric test includes 10 questions that will define the user's team role. Additionally, the user gets asked whether he/she prefers to retake the tests for another user or continue to the team formation. Moreover, there is a showcase of the optimal 3 or 4 user teams constructed. Conclusionally, it displays the usernames ,roles and scores of all users and also the user or users with the highest IQ score.

We used:

1. python because it was a requirement.
2. sqlite3 for the database handle and because we want a computer stored database in a .db file.
3. hashlib library to hash the password in oreder to be protected from threats.
4. tkinter for the GUI.
5. suprocess because we wanted to use subprograms, make our code easily read and efficient.
6. re to check whether a given string matches a given pattern, or contains such a pattern.

1. Rookie python users
2. Little time, a lot of things to do
3. Difficulties making the login and register function because we hadn't worked with sql before.
4. Combining fun and efficiency in our app.

1. Take a research from the students that will use the app and make a more precise result.
2. Combine the results of the IQ and Psychometric test in order to create the teams. Also, consider personal relationships between the users at the team formation.
3. Make a forgot my password function.
4. Addition of more mini games and questions.
5. Addition of music background and timer.
6. More well designed, aesthetic, user friendly GUI.

1. Download pygame - pip install pygame
2. If you use VScode you can install the extension SQLite Viewer in orde to visualize the database.
3. Have in mind that you must have all the files in the same folder.

You can easily contribute to the project by implementing any of the features suggested above or whatever you want and makes the app better.

The biggest part of the project is written by us. Also we found things at GitHub, StackOverFlow, W3schools, GeeksforGeeks and ChatGPT, and then we edited them in order to be used in our app. At the IQ games the tower of Hanoi mini game has been taken from another user of github and the url is: https://github.com/pmellingimenes/TowerHanoi4Python . Also, at the psychometric test the inspiration and the format of the questions was taken from this example website test: https://www.actioned.com/team-member-quiz/. In addition, the way how the role of the user is decided, came up through this pdf file http://www.nursingleadership.org.uk/pubs/BusynurseTeamRoles.pdf .

Hope you enjoy the app!!!
