extent to which some characteristic is possessed. Thus it is possible to determine whether an
object has more or less of a characteristic than some other object.
13
________ is a scale in which the numbers are used to rate objects such that numerically
equal distances on the scale represent equal distances in the characteristic being measured.
14
The ________ is the highest scale. It allows the researcher to identify or classify objects,
rank order the objects, and compare intervals or differences. It is also meaningful to compute
ratios of scale values.
15
The rankings of teams in a tournament constitute a ________ scale.
16

19
Which statement is not true about the interval scale?
20
________ are one of two types of scaling techniques in which there is direct comparison of
stimulus objects with one another.
21
________ are one of two types of scaling techniques in which each stimulus object is scaled
independently of the other objects in the stimulus set.
22
Which of the following statements is not true about the comparative scales technique?

24
The disadvantages of comparative scaling includes all of the following except _______
25
Which of the following scales is not a type of comparative scale (Figure 8.2 in the text)?
26
Which of the following is not a type of non-comparative scale?
27
Which of the following is a type of comparative scale?
28
________ is a comparative scaling technique in which a respondent is presented with two
objects at a time and asked to select one object in the pair according to some criterion. The data
obtained is ordinal in nature.
29
________ is a comparative scaling technique in which respondents are presented with
several objects simultaneously and asked to order or rank them according to some criterion.
30
After paired comparisons, the most popular comparative rating scale is ________.
31
_______ is a comparative scaling technique in which respondents are required to allocate a
constant sum of units such as point, dollars, chits, stickers, or chips among a set of stimulus
objects with respect to some criterion.
32
If respondents are asked to allocate 100 points to attributes of a toilet soap in a way that
reflects the importance they attach to each attribute, ________ scaling is being used.
33
________ scaling is a comparative scaling technique that uses a rank order procedure to sort
objects based on similarity with respect to some criterion.
34
________ is being used if respondents are given 100 attitude statements on individual cards
and asked to place them into 11 piles, ranging from "most highly agreed with" to "least highly
agreed with."
35
Paired comparison data can be analyzed in several ways. One way is for the researcher to
calculate the percentage of respondents who prefer one stimulus to another. The researcher can
also perform all of the following analyses on paired comparison data except

Which of the following is not one of the suggested modifications of the paired comparison
technique?
37
The most common method of taste testing is paired comparison. A minimum of ________
responses is considered an adequate sample.
38
________ scaling and ________ scaling both are comparative in nature. Both result in

39
Which statement is true concerning constant sum scaling?
40
When using Q-sort scaling ________ to ________ objects is a reasonable range.
41
________ is a comparative scaling technique where numbers are assigned to objects such
that ratios between the assigned numbers reflect ratios on the specified criterion.
