Abstract:
A method of collecting participant replies into a database residing on computing devices. The participant replies provide information of particular interest about the participant. The replies are provided in response to questions selected by an overseer. The questions are grouped into question sets; each question set addressing a particular aspect of information being sought. The question sets are further grouped into lists of the question sets determined by an overseer in accordance with the participant replies, wherein each participant is assigned a list. The invention establishes data paths over communication networks for communicating the questions and replies. For each participant a next question in the list is determined based on the participant's previous replies. The determined next question is communicated to the participant via the data path and the replies are communicated back from the participant via the data path. After all the questions on the list are asked a report is created and forwarded to the overseer who may change the make up of the list of question sets for the participant.
