Analysis Details

This is an illustrative Q study from Len Barchak’s 1977 dissertation (mentored by William Stephenson himself). Full data sets are available here. (Note that Barchak’s original data didn’t use PQMethod. To compare Q-Assessor’s results to PQM’s, perform a varimax rotation here, generate the report, and then download and compare this PQM output done the same way.

Correlation Matrix

The correlations are formatted to omit the decimal point for space considerations. Thus: a correlation of "41" is actually a value of "0.41".
