Qualitative Data

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to organize a messy closet full of clothes, shoes, and accessories without any specific order. This is similar to qualitative data, which consists of unstructured and non-numerical information like opinions, descriptions, and experiences. Just as you would sort items based on their type, color, or purpose to make sense of the clutter, qualitative data requires categorization and interpretation to derive meaningful insights, despite its initial lack of structure and numerical format.
