Hi Sajjal,
Your effort is good and will give you the required result. Group the questions on areas like communication, leadership, motivation, etc., and check the averages. You can delve into the depth of these groups (question-wise analysis) later on and highlight those which are of concern. Also, make sure you give recommendations in your presentation.
Hope this helps.

Grouping like questions is a good idea; however, it should be based on statistical tests. As you are an undergraduate and may not have been taught, you can mention the limitations of your questionnaire. Please see [How to Create Survey Questions | eHow.com](http://www.ehow.com/how_4495112_create-survey-questions.html) and [Qualities of a Good Survey Question](http://www.statpac.com/surveys/question-qualities.htm).

Hi Simham,
Thanks for the links; they were quite informative. I have actually formulated the questionnaires based on a couple of motivational theories. I was thinking of merging the like questions under the common concepts by each theory and analyzing them accordingly. That way, I could back up the analysis with theoretical concepts. Would that be okay?
Thanks for your help.

In my opinion, writing a survey report for the results shown in a sample is rather easy. But if you are interested in writing a solid policy-oriented report, you have to bifurcate these results into various sub-categories (worker, supervisor, manager - age groups 25-30, 35-40, and gender-wise male/female). It will give you a handle and a strong conclusion that if some people disagree with a proposal, who they are and what type of policies should be adopted to satisfy them or how to include them in the process of change.
Good luck!

Moinkhan's idea is good provided you have gathered info from enough people. As your total responses are only 40, commenting on differences among different age groups, positions, etc., may not be statistically valid. You need to apply a test to see if the differences are significant. Hence, make sure that you put a note to that effect in your analysis or conclusion sections.
Have a nice day.

Hi, my data includes students' grades (X, XII and college) and their responses for different factors like study habits(3 questions), personality traits (5 questions) etc on 5-point scale (5 – Always, 4 – Often, 3 – Sometimes, 2 – Rarely, 1 – Never)
My objective is to study "factors affecting academic performance of students"
1. Should I consider median for each question and then compare it for male and female group by using chi-square test?
2. How can I measure the effect of these factors on students grads?
Please help. I am stuck ..
