Qualitative analysis primarily focuses on which type of data?

Hard metrics and KPIs
Opinions and behaviors
Statistical models
Financial data

The correct answer is: Opinions and behaviors

Qualitative analysis emphasizes the exploration of subjective data that reflects opinions, behaviors, themes, and experiences. This approach aims to understand the deeper context behind human thoughts and motivations, which is crucial in fields like talent development, where understanding employee perceptions, engagement, and development needs is key to creating effective learning and growth initiatives. In contrast, hard metrics and KPIs, statistical models, and financial data represent quantitative forms of analysis that focus on numerical measures and data that can be statistically analyzed or interpreted. While these quantitative analyses are essential for measuring performance and outcomes, they do not capture the nuanced understanding of human behavior and feelings that qualitative analysis provides. Understanding the qualitative aspects can lead to richer insights that inform more meaningful talent development strategies.
