I tried to use a visual scale in a student undergrad assignment (so they would have more continuous-like numbers). It was hopeless. Some of the respondants circled anchors, no matter how explicit I tried to make the instructions (I see that you (Michelle) left the intermediate anchors off, though, which I didn't). In any case, do you tend to get clustering in your distance distributions, e.g. at midpoint, quartiles? ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list and remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES are available at http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ =================================================================
