Program is for: Comparing the grids obtained from a group of people who have
negotiated an agreed set of shared elements. The results of this analysis show "who construes like who". It
produces a sociometric description of group
Kinds of analysis performed: In the primary analysis, each grid is compared with
each other grid in the set. This produces a matching score matrix of each construct in one grid with every construct in
the other grid. The further analysis uses this to calculate the "average maximum matching score" of all
constructs in all grids and to produce an ordered list of constructs from most shared to least shared

Kinds of analysis performed: When sufficient items of experience have been
elicited, the program encourages the user to compare and contrast them one with another
