Rolling display of data for each dimension

DISLPAY 3:
In the second rolling display the data is re-presented on a dimension-by-dimension basis showing the value assiged to that dimension by each respondent.
The aim here is to provide an impression of variability when compared against all other respondents and the mean and SD for that dimension.

It is interesting that for some dimensions, the respondent-by-respondent results are quite spiky (eg Dimension 1: 'weak spelling'; Dimension 14: 'find it challenging to follow lists of instructions'; Dimension 11: 'poor at following directions') whereas other dimensions showed a much more consistent pattern - that is, there appeared to be a greater consensus amongst respondents (eg: Dimension 7: 'tend to re-read lines of text or omit lines altogether'; Dimension 8: 'confused order of writing ideas'; Dimension 10: 'poor short-term/working memory').

A deeper analysis aims to explore this respondent variability in a more quantitative way which will also act as a pilot for the analysis of the data generated from the Main QNR to be deployed in due course.

A more insightful report of this analysis will be posted on the project's StudyBlog in due course.
