[Informatics] Codifying Data

[Robert Hind]

But you are still codifying a mass of qualitative data into set "chunks".
You look at your data and you have to decide what your chunks will be. eg
with your example, "your best surprise ever", you might come up with chunks
such as "surprise party", "winning a lottery or raffle", etc.

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".
