How to interpret the result of Ranking Survey questions?
Updated over a week ago

1. In the event dashboard, click on the "Content" tab

2. Click on the "Engagement" feature page

3. Click on "Responses" for a survey that includes a "Ranking" question.

4. To interpret the ranking, you can view either the score or the graph 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
