Example of criterion weight calculation

Criterion 1 Criterion 2 Criterion 3 Total
Respondent 1 50 30 20 100
Respondent 2 20 50 30 100
Respondent 3 100 0 0 100
Respondent 4 0 50 50 100
Total points (sum of points given by respondents) 170 130 100 400
Weight ((total points given to criterion / total number of respondents) * 100) (170/400) *100 =
42.5
(130/400) *100 =
32.5
(100/400) *100 =
25
