How to interpret the result of Ranking Survey questions?

1. Open your event's dashboard and click on "Polls & surveys".


2. Then click on "Surveys".


3. Find the published survey you want to view the responses of. Click on the 3 dots and select "View responses" on the survey card.


4. To interpret the ranking, you can view the score to determine which option was most opted by attendees.

Note: A higher score indicates a greater preference for that option.


Here is the Final Score Formula used to calculate the rank:
​
• Rank 1: Weight 1 = n
• Rank 2: Weight 2= n-1
• Rank 3: Weight 3 = n-2
• ….
• Rank n: Weight = 1
​
Formula for the Score : S=((R1×w1)+(R2×w2)+(R3×w3))/ T
​
This formula helps us calculate the score by assigning weights to each rank. Here’s what each part means:

  • 'n': Represents the total number of ranks.

  • R1, R2, R3: These are the number of people who ranked the items as Rank 1, Rank 2, and Rank 3, respectively.

  • T: Stands for the total number of participants in the survey.


​Calculations for the above screenshot:

  1. Tech Innovators Summit 2024 \

    • Rank 1 by 1 person = weight 4\

    • Rank 2 by 1 person = weight 3\

    • Rank 3 by 1 person = weight 2\

    • Rank 4 by 0 person = weight 1
      ​
      Score = ((1x4)+(1x3)+(1x2)+(0x1))/3
      = 9/3
      ​
      Score = 3.00
      ​

  2. Tech Innovators Summit 2024 \

    • Rank 1 by 1 person = weight 4\

    • Rank 2 by 0 person = weight 3\

    • Rank 3 by 2 person = weight 2\

    • Rank 4 by 0 person = weight 1
      ​
      Score = ((1x4)+(0x3)+(2x2)+(0x1))/3
      = 8/3
      ​
      Score = 2.67

  1. Tech Innovators Summit 2024 \

    • Rank 1 by 0 person = weight 4\

    • Rank 2 by 1 person = weight 3\

    • Rank 3 by 0 person = weight 2\

    • Rank 4 by 2 person = weight 1
      ​
      Score = ((0x4)+(1x3)+(0x2)+(2x1))/3
      = 5/3
      ​
      Score = 1.67
      ​

  2. Tech Innovators Summit 2024 \

    • Rank 1 by 1 person = weight 4\

    • Rank 2 by 1 person = weight 3\

    • Rank 3 by 0 person = weight 2\

    • Rank 4 by 1 person = weight 1
      ​
      Score = ((1x4)+(1x3)+(0x2)+(1x1))/3
      = 8/3
      ​
      Score = 2.67
