[Informatics] Codifying Data

[Fox, Richard R]

This is an interesting thread, as similar discussions were happening in our class yesterday.

It seems that many qualitative responses still fall naturally on a scale, where they can be categorised from 'strongly agree' to 'strongly disagree', even if the words used by each individual are different.

On the other hand, you will have some questions where the responses have no innate weighting, and you would have to show these as proportions in a pie chart, for example. E.g. "Describe your best surprise ever".
