✦ Synopsis

The majority of ergonomics investigations using rating scales employ either an analogue or a category type of scale. Both have their limitations. This paper discusses a method of combining the two scales to produce a valuable assessment tool for the ergonomist. Examples of its use in both laboratory and field situations are discussed, as are its limitations.
