Abstract: In a survey investigation, subjects will normally provide only one answer for each question. However, when they are allowed to provide more than one answer, a specific technique is needed to represent the observed data in a visual form that could be easily seen and viewed in terms of its similarity and dissimilarity among the survey attributes. One of the common techniques used in visualizing the results is by using multidimensional scaling (MDS). MDS is often used to provide a visual representation of the pattern of proximities (i.e., similarities or distances) among a set of objects that allow results to be interpreted according to the survey subjects and attributes. However, too many subjects and attributes will produce massive output points (coordinates). In order to enhance the visualization, a tool called Murvis (Multiple Response Visualization) has been developed using Java programming language to provide users with the flexibiliy in visualizing the MDS ou!
tput coordinates in 2D and 3D space. Murvis allows users to add colors to the graphic visual and present the output in many different and flexible views. With the latter, analysts of multiple response survey are able to illustrate a more informative research findings. A small scale survey involving three data sets are used to test the usability and effectiveness of the tool which has some impending significances.
