What is word cloud analysis?

A word cloud analysis, also known as a weighted list, represents visually the most commonly used phrases or words from your open-ended answers. The tag cloud or word cloud excludes commonly used words to bring forth important words from survey responses.

Word clouds or weighted lists display words or survey responses as a text graphic, the most common value written represented by the largest text.

Examples of word cloud analysis in a survey

  1. Imagine you are conducting an employee experience survey. This section has open-ended questions with regards to your onboarding experience or processes. Using the tag cloud, you can determine which phrases or words were most used in the open-ended responses. Based on that, you can determine if their experiences were good or bad. So a word cloud for this essentially would have words such as long, bad, unplanned, unscheduled, pleasant, informative, boring, etc.
