Editor's Notes
- #7 Ranking scales cannot tell you why something is important or unimportant to respondents. They address items in relation to each other rather than individually, and they may not give fully accurate results. Respondents cannot give the same rating to two items, even if they are of equal importance to them. There is no way to measure how much of a distance there is between levels of importance for each rating, even though this may be variable. Survey results may suffer from "order bias," where respondents rank the first set of items more positively than later ones. This may also be a problem if you ask respondents to rank too many items at once, because they may lose focus.
