French term

évalué dans l'absolu

French to English Marketing Food & Drink Consumer testing
Tests monadiques
Les tests sont des tests monadiques, sans comparaison, c’est-à-dire que chaque produit est //////évalué dans l’absolu///// et noté isolément par chaque consommateur du jury au vu de son expérience, de son vécu par rapport à un produit de même type et non par le biais d’un comparatif direct.

From a document detailing the process of consumer testing for food products.

Thanks for your help.

Judged in isolation

Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : Yes, and I would ignore "noté isolément", which means the same thing. You could say "evaluated in isolation by each consumer on the panel".

agree Victoria Britten : Not sure I agree with philgoddard: I think "noté isolément" probably (if clumsily) emphasises the fact that each jury member gives their own mark.

agree polyglot45 : or you could say "individually" and save "in isolation" for afterwards

French term (edited): chaque produit est évalué dans l’absolu

each product is evaluated on its own

i.e. "in isolation" from other products that could be used as a reference for comparison i.e. while preventing the impression given by another product from influencing the tester;

IOW testers are only asked "what do you think of A (or B, or C), not "test A and B (or A and C ...)


Définition : Test monadique

Ecrit par B.Bathelot, mis à jour le 13 mai 2015.
Glossaires : Etudes / Consommateur

Un test monadique est un test produit par lequel chaque individu n’évalue qu’un produit.

Lorsqu’on souhaite étudier plusieurs produits ou packaging concurrents ou plusieurs versions de produits ou packaging par un test monadique, il est nécessaire d’utiliser des échantillons appariés.

Voir aussi : test protomonadique, test séquentiel.

the following part:

"noté isolément par chaque consommateur du jury "

is about a different aspect: its aim is to prevent the tester from being influenced by opinions given by other testers

Monadic Research Design

Monadic testing typically is the best method for product testing or product optimization. Testing a product alone offers many advantages. Interaction between products (which occurs in paired-comparison tests) is eliminated.
