Abstract

In this paper, we consider that a group of agents judge a set of alternatives by means of an ordered qualitative scale. The scale is not assumed to be uniform, i.e., the psychological distance between adjacent linguistic terms is not necessarily always the same. In this setting, we propose how to measure the consensus in each subset of at least two agents over each subset of alternatives. We introduce a consensus reaching process where some agents may be invited to change their assessments over some alternatives in order to increase the consensus. All the steps are managed in a purely ordinal way through ordinal proximity measures.
