Coherence in descriptor calibration
The position at which particular content appears on the scale demonstrates a high
degree of coherence. As an example, one can take topics. No descriptors were included
for topics, but topics were referred to in descriptors for various categories. The three
most relevant categories were Describing & narrating, Information exchange and Range.
The charts below compare the way topics are treated in those three areas. Although
the content of the three charts is not identical, comparison demonstrates a
considerable degree of coherence, which is reflected throughout the set of calibrated
descriptors. Analysis of this kind has been the basis for producing descriptors for
categories not included in the original survey (e.g. Public announcements) by recombining
descriptor elements.
