About

OpenRepGrid is an R package to analyze and visualize repertory grid data. The repertory grid (often abbreviated grid or repgrid) is a data collection method which originated from Personal Construct Theory (Kelly 1955). It was originally designed as an instrument for psychotherapy. Nowadays, it is used in many other fields, including market, organizational, political, educational and sensory research. See here for a brief introduction.
