At the fundamental awareness level, individuals are expected to understand the basic concept of SPSS and recognize its interface. They should know the purpose and use of SPSS in data analysis but may not have hands-on experience yet.

Novices can perform simple tasks such as creating a new dataset, entering data manually, importing data from other sources, defining variable properties, and saving datasets. They are still learning and may need guidance to complete tasks.

Intermediate users can perform more complex tasks independently. They can perform basic statistical tests like t-tests, chi-square, correlation, create simple charts and graphs, manipulate data by recoding or computing new variables, use syntax for automation, and handle missing data.

Advanced users can perform complex tasks and analyses. They can perform advanced statistical tests like ANOVA, regression, factor analysis, create complex charts and graphs, write and edit syntax for complex tasks, use macros for automation, and perform multivariate analysis.

Experts can interpret complex output, troubleshoot errors in data or syntax, optimize data analysis processes, teach or train others to use SPSS, and contribute to the development of SPSS through feedback and suggestions. They have a deep understanding of SPSS and can handle any task with ease.
