preceding quantitative factors, respective of order. In other contexts, agreement between qualitative<br />

<strong>and</strong> quantitative is at least somewhat inferential, again because the two methods cannot ask or<br />

answer exactly the same types of questions. Where this is the case, we make note of it.
