PROCESSING QUALITATIVE RESPONSES

摘要

Participant-provided qualitative or comment-style responses to inquiries may be processed to generate processed responses, which may then be evaluated by participants for ranking. The processed responses may reflect groups of similar qualitative responses to, among other things, simplify and reduce the amount of data that needs to be reviewed by the participants for ranking. On the other hand, the processed responses may have a one-to-one correspondence with the qualitative responses, and the grouping of similar responses may occur after the participant ranking. Grouping after participant ranking may have the benefit of, among other things, simplifying the grouping, as only highest ranked responses may need to be grouped.

1. A method executed by a data processing device system for evaluating inquiry-responses, the method comprising the steps of:
accessing a plurality of qualitative responses to inquiries from a processor-accessible memory device system; processing the accessed plurality of qualitative responses to generate a plurality of processed responses; and distributing at least some of the plurality of processed responses over a network to each of a plurality of participant devices for participant evaluation on a display-screen-page-by-display-screen-page basis with each of the at least some of the plurality of processed responses presented on at least one of multiple display-screen-pages, and with each of the multiple display-screen-pages displaying a different set of the at least some of the plurality of processed responses.
