Notes:
If your SIMS 2000 test setup is different then what's discussed in
the Test Preparation Notes, then some adjustments can be made
here. Such as: a) If your four Experimental Plan Block sample
pairings are not exacly 1 1, 1 2, 2 1, and 2 2, you'll need to adjust
the Excel Lookup Table shown above. b) If your Questionnaire
Hedonic attribute does not have return values of 1 (same) and 0
(different), you'll need to adjust all of the formulas in the Result
column.
