MONADIC TEST

A study in which each respondent evaluates only one product or concept.

Why it matters

Eliminates comparison bias — the evaluation is absolute, not relative to another sample.

What's missing without it

Without it, results show which of two is better, but not whether either is good.

When it is used

When absolute purchase intent or satisfaction metrics are needed.

How we use it

Randomly assign one concept per respondent and administer the full questionnaire for that concept.

Fun fact

The sequential variant is a compromise: multiple products, but each evaluated separately before the next appears. It costs less, though order effects remain.
