Survey and analysis apparatus comprises an inquisitorial server ( 10 ) fed questions from a question source ( 12 ), adducing survey data from selected users at user terminals ( 16 ) on the Internet ( 14 ), and providing data to an analyser ( 18 ) giving results to a responding server ( 20 ) accessible to a sponsor at a sponsor terminal ( 22 ) and to any other nominated recipient. Questions comprise plural statements ( 52 ) in sets ( 50 ) one of which is to be selected by a respondent per set ( 50 ). Each statement ( 52 ) has a poly dimensional weighting ABCDEFG. Questions can be set by a sponsor ( 22 ) or can be from a predetermined set 38 . When analysed ( 18 ), the poly dimensional weighting ABCDEFG for each selected statement ( 52 ) are determined and aggregated. Graphical 2 or 3 dimensional display can include a selectable number of represented dimensions; a radius variation for a results cloud ( 80 ); a selectable result cloud colouration; a trend arrow added to a result cloud ( 80 ); a trend arrow added to a result point; a combined result statement; a deviation line ( 82 ); and a selectable number of axes ( 86 ). Automatic reports are generated by each range ( 94 ) for each dimension ABCDEFG being allocated a result statement ( 92 ), the selected range being chosen by aggregation an statistical analysis. Reports can comprise analysis statements ( 120 ), diagnosis statements ( 126 ), and advice statements ( 130 ) assembled into a humanly readable report ( 122 ).
