How MaxDiff works
MaxDiff goes beyond a standard rating question. It asks respondents to pick the most and least important item from a list, helping to identify what your target customers truly value.
- Define a list of up to 35 items (claims, brands, product features...) you want to test
- EPIC Conjoint’s MaxDiff tool automatically generates question cards with 4-5 items
- Each card asks respondents to choose the best and the worst option
- Respondents are presented with multiple choice cards so each item and pairs of items are shown an equal number of times
- Add an unlimited number of additional questions to your MaxDiff survey, capturing all the customer feedback you are interested in
