Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Delphi studies are designed to gather, aggregate, and synthesize the opinions of a group of experts on a specific subject, focusing more on qualitative insights rather than purely quantitative metrics. They do not necessarily seek responses from people with limited knowledge (A), typically discourage direct interaction among participants to avoid any single opinion dominating (C), and often involve multiple rounds of questioning to refine the consensus, which means they require more than two steps and are not designed for quick information gathering (D).
