Q-sort methodology is a technique of comparative rating that preserves the subjective point of view of the individual. Cards are used to categorize the importance placed on various words or phrases in relation to the other words or phrases in the list. Each phrase is placed on a separate card. The number of cards should range from 40 to 100. The subject is instructed to sort the cards into a designated number of piles, usually 7 to 10 piles ranging from the most to the least important. The subject is limited in the number of cards that may be placed in each pile, with few at the ends and many in the center, mimicking the normal curve.
