The Repertory Grid
Clustering) not only permits inferences to be drawn on whether two constructs are applied
similarly to different elements, but it also compares how different elements are rated on
the same constructs.
Figure 11.3 shows the results of a principal components analysis (called PrinCom Map),
which plots the constructs and elements in providing a visual overview of how they relate
to one other.
