Abstract
A new method for aggregating ordinal assessments of individuals is proposed to obtain a collective preference ordering of alternatives. The method converts the ordinal assessments to collective pairwise comparisons of the alternatives and incorporates a deduction process to yield transitively consistent pairwise comparisons with respect to majority principle, and hence yields a linear order of the alternatives. Its algorithm is presented and its properties are studied. The method is applied to an opinion survey concerning quality of life, and a collective ordering of items pertaining to the quality of life is obtained with respect to their importance.
