English term or phrase: HI-LOW questions
Hello,

I have a problem with the English to Spanish translation of the English expression HI-LOW question. It appears in the questionnaire on organizational climate.

The contex is very poor, all I have is:
HI-LOW questions regarding the current year measurement.
or
HI-LOW questions regarding the standard deviation.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

Lia

Explanation:
Como se trata de un cuestionario creo que se trata de valorar las preguntas, dependiendo del índice o punto que ofrece cada respuesta correspondiente.
Pero, como dice Smartranslators, no sé como escribirlo más corto.


Mucha suerte!

Thank you very much for all your suggestions. I agree with Dlyons that this is not a standard expression. Considering that it appeared in a questionnaire, where the respondents have to evaluate the statements (or give them some points), the expression hi-low could really refer to the best/worst evaluation of the questions. I still haven't found this English expression anywhere, but it could be related to the evaluation.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Muchas gracias por ayudarme. Se trata de una expresión inusual y estoy de acuerdo que tiene que ver con algunos índices altos/bajos, pero me inclino más a la idea de que se trata de una »alta/baja« evaluación de las preguntas por parte de los encuestados.
