Abstract
The method of paired comparisons has a long tradition which has been caused not only by its simplicity and statistical elegance, but also by its wide applicability. Among the most important applications are its uses in areas as taste testing, personnel rating, consumer testing, the psychological study of preference and choice behaviour, attitude measurement and tournaments.
