Qualitative insights are like clues that help us understand why people do what they do.
Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy, maybe a robot or a ball. You notice that when it moves fast, it makes whoosh sounds, but when it goes slow, it makes brrr sounds. That's like qualitative insights, they help us see the little details and feelings behind actions.
What Makes Qualitative Insights Special?
Qualitative insights are not about numbers or scores, they're about stories, feelings, and why things happen. Think of them as descriptions that tell you more than just what happened, they explain why it felt exciting, sad, fun, or confusing.
For example, if your friend says, "I like the blue car because it looks like my cat," that's a qualitative insight! It tells you not only what they like but also why they feel connected to it.
Examples
- A child says they like a toy because it makes them feel happy, not just because it's colorful.
- A teacher notices students are distracted during class, even though they're passing tests.
- A friend tells you they felt supported after talking to someone, even if the conversation was short.
