Steps to Developing a SPACE Matrix
1. Select a set of variables to define FS, CA,
ES, & IS
2. Assign a numerical value:
1. From +1 to +6 to each FS & IS dimension
2. From -1 to -6 to each ES & CA dimension
3. Compute an average score for each FS,
CA, ES, & IS
Copyright 2007 Prentice Hall Ch 6 -31
Steps to Developing a SPACE Matrix
1. Plot the average score on the appropriate
axis
2. Add the two scores on the x-axis and plot
the point. Add the two scores on the y-axis
and plot the point. Plot the intersection of
the new xy point
3. Draw a directional vector from the origin
through the new intersection point.
