What if I wanted to match 2 individuals based on their Likert scores in a survey?
Example: Imagine a 3 question dating app where each respondent chooses one from the following choices in response to 3 different statements about themselves:
Strongly Disagree - Disagree - Neutral - Agree - Strongly Agree
1) I like long walks on the beach.
2) I always know where I want to eat.
3) I will be 100% faithful.
Assuming both subjects answer truthfully and that the 3 questions have equal weights, What is their % match for each question and overall? How would I calculate it for the following answers?
Example Answers:
Lucy's answers:
1) Strongly Agree
2) Strongly Disagree
3) Agree
Ricky's answers:
1) Agree
2) Strongly Agree
3) Strongly Disagree
What if I want to change the weight of each question?
Thanks!
Terry
Why do you want to match? Probably worth starting with reading: https://www.amazon.com/Observation-Experiment-Introduction-Causal-Inference/dp/0674241630 depending on why you are matching.
