Choice Analysis

Choice is the easiest question type to analyze as there's only 1 dimension of data.

So, it's easy to cut by a 2nd dimension (filters).

1: Choices in Chart & Table

2: Choice Crosstab

3: Chart Types - all chart types are available for choice questions, e.g.

A: Grouped Bars above

B: Stacked Bars below

C: Line Chart

4: Score & Average Choices - you can assign a score to each of your choices and calculate the combined weighted average across all your segments. E.g.

  • Very dissatisfied = 1 x 2%
  • Somewhat satisfied = 2 x 5%
  • Undecided = 3 x 9%
  • Somewhat satisfied = 4 x 55%
  • Very satisfied = 5 x 29%
  • Average = 4.05 for Millennials

5: Merge, Hide, Exclude, & Reorder Choices - your choices can be boiled down to a single metric, e.g. Top-2-Box.
