Interpreting sentiment analysis results for individual questions
For every open-ended question, the sentiment analysis outputs show the distribution of sentiments, which includes:
- The average sentiment score of responses, ranges from the most negative (-1) to the most positive (1).
- A coloured bar chart showing the percentage of responses by sentiment category, with green for positive sentiment, pink for negative sentiment, blue for neutral sentiment, and violet for the mixed sentiment.
The following information is also displayed for individual responses to short text, paragraph input, positive/negative open-ended feedback, and the ‘Other’ option for multiple choice and dropdown menu questions:
- The prevailing sentiment determined by the natural language processing model
- The sentiment score, ranges from -1 (indicating a 100% likelihood that the response has a negative sentiment) to 1 (indicating a 100% likelihood that the response has positive sentiment).
You can also filter the responses by sentiment using the dropdown menu.

FAQs
How do AI summaries of open-ended text responses work?
The AI summaries of open-ended text responses are powered by the GPT-3 natural language processing (NLP) model. All responses are preprocessed to remove answers that do not contain valuable information, such as “Nothing”, “N/A”, and empty answers. Then, the AI-based model processes and summarises the content.
While models like GPT-3 are a great help in working on natural language tasks (that would otherwise require manual human work), it is not always clear exactly why the model provides a certain output. By design, AI’s exact way of “thinking” is not always clear and is a deep research field.
Conjointly encourages treating AI summaries as high-level summaries that take into consideration all text inputs with valuable information.
