Method and system for conducting one or more surveys

A system for conducting at least one survey, each survey of the at least one survey comprising a plurality of options and at least one issue, wherein each option is associated with a characteristic, comprising:

• a presenting module for presenting the plurality of options and the at least one issue associated with each survey to a plurality of participants, wherein an issue of the at least one issue comprises two or more options;
• a receiving module for receiving ranks for at least one of the plurality of options and the at least one issue by the plurality of participants for each survey to create a plurality of influent functions for each survey, wherein the ranking is optionally based on at least one criterion, the plurality of influent functions comprises at least one influent function associated with each participant of the plurality of participants, wherein an influent function associated with a survey determines a score for each outcome of a plurality of potential outcomes associated with the survey, wherein an influent function associated with a participant is based on a participant profile of the participant of the plurality of participants;
• an aggregation module for aggregating at least one of the at least one influent function associated with each participant across the plurality of participants to create a collective influent function for each survey, wherein the collective influent function for each survey is based on at least one of a satisfaction score and a dissonance score, the aggregation module comprising at least one of:
• a satisfaction determination module for calculating a degree of satisfaction associated with each participant of the plurality of participants for each potential outcome of a plurality of potential outcomes associated with each survey of the plurality of surveys;
• and
• a dissonance determination module for calculating a measure of difference in satisfaction between the plurality of participants for each potential outcome of the plurality of potential outcomes associated with each survey;
• and
• a ranking module for ranking the plurality of potential outcomes associated with each survey based on the collective influent function associated with each survey to create a collective ranking of potential outcomes for each survey.
