Hi, I used the {reverse} command on a series of questions attached to a scale from 0-6. How can I double check that the reverse has worked correctly? In my print out of the questionnaire, there is no reference made to this aspect of the code. In my data export I have each item and its score, but I can't tell whether this is the score before or after reversal.
Is there a way of checking this or do I just have to have faith that if I put coded the reversal, it will have correctly scored the responses?
Thanks!

Can you not just take the survey and answer 6 each time? Then when you go to look at your data, if the reversed values appear as 0 then it worked.
Alternatively, you can just reverse score after the survey, if you choose. To reverse a scale you just subtract from your highest value (if your scale starts at 0), or 1 above your highest value if your scale starts at 1. For instance, to reverse a 0-6 scale, you just do 6 minus the response. So 0 becomes 6 and 6 becomes 0. If your scale were 1 to 7, then you'd do 8 minus the value. That's all the {reverse} command is doing, anyway.
