MaxDiff: Products, Relationship to best–worst scaling ("MaxDiff" surveys) & Overview

The MaxDiff is a long-established theory in mathematical psychology with very specific assumptions about how people make choices: it assumes that respondents evaluate all possible pairs of items within the displayed set and choose the pair that reflects the maximum difference in preference or importance. It may be thought of as a variation of the method…
