<p>This is the kind of survey that lends itself to an interesting exercise. </p>
<p>Take the number of items in the survey and multiply by 5.5 (the average score). Excluding “Other”, that would be 88 for this survey. Then reassign values until you get your total score down to 88. Then look at where you compromised and where you didn’t.</p>
