Ordered Approach
|
Best to Worst
|
Identify responses in order from most to least appropriate
|
“Going from what would be least conflict inducing to most inducing” (P11)
|
Worst to Best
|
Identify responses in order from least to most appropriate
|
“I started with the least appropriate and worked my way to most” (P04)
|
Extremes First
|
Identify responses at the extremes first (least and most appropriate), then the middle
|
“I identified the first and fifth one” (P06)
|
Chronologically
|
Identify responses in order that actions would be performed
|
“I would do every single one of these in this order” (P10)
|
Pattern
|
Identify responses in a type of pattern that is relatively consistent
|
“I’m noticing a pattern – acknowledge, ask, offer, tell, stay” (S06)
|
Compare Responses
|
Evaluate response ranking by comparing two at a time
|
“So, deciding between imagining things and confronting the person” (S12)
|
Rephrase
|
State the responses in a different way to identify the ranking
|
“So, what do I do?” (S09)
|
Guess
|
Randomly assign rankings to a response
|
“I just kind of put numbers down because I didn’t know” (S12)
|
Before Reading Responses
|
Attempt to identify the best response before reading the answer options
|
“Before even looking at the answers, I would think about …” (S02)
|
Process of Elimination
|
Assign a ranking based on what remains after ranking other options
|
“I guess through process of elimination it leaves …” (P07)
