Success

The success score is the percentage of people who selected a correct item as the answer to the task.

The error bars on the success score are calculated with a 95% confidence interval using the Adjusted Wald method.

Directness

Directness is the percentage of participants who didn't backtrack up the tree at any point during the task. The higher this score is, the more confident you can be that your participants were sure of their answers.

If you have a low success score but a high directness score, there's a good chance that your participants thought the answer was somewhere you didn't.

The error bars on the directness score are calculated with a 95% confidence interval using the Adjusted Wald method.
