Insert a Priority Ranking Slide
Inserting a Priority Ranking slide to allows participants to respond multiple times to a question. The
responses are then weighted and ranked accordingly.
A Priority Ranking slide will determine what is most important to participants. Insert a Priority Ranking
slide, select the number of responses to allow per participant, and then ask participants what is most
important. Participants enter their first choice as their first response, their second choice second, etc. By
default the first choice is worth ten points, the second choice is worth nine, the third choice is worth eight,
etc. The response weights can be changed through the TurningPoint settings.
For example: Create a slide with five possible answers. Allow three responses (choices) per participant
where first the choice is worth ten points, the second nine, and the third eight. Six participants provide
responses. The first three participants select 5, 4, 3 as answers in that order. The second three participants
select 1,2,3 as answers in that order. TurningPoint calculates the results as depicted in the table below.
The table shows that despite participants selecting answers 1 and 5 as their first choice 3 times each, all six
participants selected answer 3. This gives answer 3 a higher priority for the group as a whole.
