An unsual metaphor that explains differences between qualitative and quantitative research in a very interesting way.
Qual Research
Full of colors and shades and layers
Reflecting personalities
Life Like
Unique
Something that has a mind of its own
Capable of changing its course mid way
Art
Encourages deviations or a creative approach
Quant Research
Full of patterns
Reflecting facts
Scientific
Replicable
Precise
Structured
Also art, but not free hand…
more like an engineered art
Encourages conformity
