I have a sample of 26 learners and I used two different methods to identify their personalities. My problem is I am not that good in statistics and I want variables that I can use within SPSS to calculate the degree of agreement between these two methods (i.e the learner 1 has X as his personality in method 1 and X as his personality in method 2….).
Besides, can I use some graphs in SPSS to generate plots for each method.
This can help readers to easily see if there is a consistent results in the two methods or not. Thank you.
PS: My data set is as follows: Learner: (1,2,3…26) | personality with Method1: (introvert, moderate or extrovert) | personality with Method2: (introvert, moderate or extrovert)

Let's say your data looks like this:
As you can see, we have 26 learners that were identified as having one of three personality types using 2 methods.
Next, we will assign the value of '1' for 'Agreement'. For example, if Method1 = 'Introvert' and Method2 = 'Introvert' then '1'. We can see the results below for all 26 learners:
As you can see, we have agreement between the two methods, 17 out of 26 times, which is 65.4% agreement. I would assume the higher the level of agreement here, the better, but we can discuss the goals of this agreement, if you have any further questions.
