Qualitative Scales

This option lets you choose (or create a new) series of named ‘points’ on a scale. For example you might prefer to rate alternatives using qualitative words like ‘None’, ‘Small’, ‘OK’, ‘Plenty’, ‘Big’, ‘Enormous’, ‘Too Big’.

This is done by selecting the Qualitative Scales option from the MENU Panel or Extended Criteria Dialog and clicking on the NEW on the Available Scales. When the new scale is highlighted, add a new point and add the details required for each point on the scale.

When this is complete optionally apply the new scale to all criteria or single criteria.
