The existing indicators reflect the questions and statements in the questionnaire distributed to 63 SMEs respondents around Medan area by using two survey methods. The first survey was conducted in person, and the second survey was conducted online. This test is known as the validity and reliability test. The values generated from the test indicate whether the questionnaire can be continued or repaired before the questionnaire is distributed back to the respondents. In particular, this initial research is one of the requirements that must be carried out to determine the psychometric properties of the characteristics of respondents from a survey, whose purpose is to make an assessment based on the perceptions of the respondents and the perspective of the researcher. The Partial least squares structural equation modelling technique (PLS-SEM) and descriptive information were applied simultaneously in the analysis phase. The results of this study are that four indicators are rejected of the 45 indicators, meaning that there are four questionnaire questions that can be repaired or not used. In comparison, the variable value shows a positive value for the nine variables. The study does not contribute theoretically to the field but provides methodological information on how to conduct an assessment on the questionnaireen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
