    Abstract: This invention is directed to the presentment of information. The information can be secured from a small number of participants such as three, four, or five participants or can be secured from a large number of participants such as 1,000 participants or more. The participant answers a question. Then, the answers are tabulated. A polarization value can be determined showing the degree of polarization of the participants with respect to that question. The polarization value may be the ratio of the number of participants to have reached a decision in regard to the question versus the total number of participants taking the questions. Also, a consensus value can be determined from this information in that the consensus value is a ratio of the number of participants answering yes to the total number of participants answering yes and no.
