In this Table, the items (rows) are sorted by measure, ascending.

 

The persons (columns) are sorted by measure, descending. The most-able person (highest-scoring) is on the left. The person entry-numbers are in each column (vertically). In the Figure, the first is person 41. The persons shown are those with the most-unexpected responses in Table 10.6. UCOUNT= sets the maximum number of persons to report. LINELENGTH= controls the width of the table. "high" indicates where we expect to see high observations. "low" indicates where we expect to see low observations. Expected observations are replaced by ".'.
