Key points Q is an ideographic quantitative research approach for exploring shared subjectivities between individuals Q methodological modelling is based on the idea that people can communicate their subjective opinions using the medium of a systematically ranked set of stimuli A Q set is a set of stimuli designed to represent a concourse or possible views of the world or phenomenon under investigation Q is based on the statistical technique of factor analysis and either principal components or classical factor approaches can be used.
