In a questionnaire, I have some questions whose answers do not have a majority, i.e., all percentages are below 50%. As far as I know, here I can look for the plurality. So I have two questions:
1: Is there one plurality or multiple pluralities?
2: Is it correct to combine categories that represent similar or related sentiments to gain a clearer understanding of the overall trend? For example, when there is a high percentage in the options of "agree" and "strongly agree," is it correct to see the total percentage of respondents who express agreement with the statement, and if so, to say that there's a tendency toward agreement?
Is goal entirely descriptive, or are you planning for some statistical tests?
Since your analysis is entirely descriptive, you can set the cut-off points anywhere you like.
