Each term category was a question that has the terms as its items, ending with semi-opened questionnaire (SOQ). After specialist-peers reviewed, the SOQ was applied to 34 NTR community-subjects for the reliability and validity test, in addition to the 8 QI subjects for the reproducibility test. The Excel datasheet of 34 & 8 datasets were under SAS Proc Corr to get Cronback coefficient alpha. Realizing the information structure, the datasheet is carried on further by the principal component analysis, 5 dimensions with names identified. Reducing non-significant items and re-categorizing QI database end the community-fit questionnaire under the repeated application of the above 2 SAS procedures.
