What type of researcher am I?

Throughout my experience doing this assignment I found that I prefer quantitative data rather than qualitative as I am able to get the results of multiple participants rather that one piece of data. The reason behind this is that I may be able to find connections between the data and potentially find what caused the results, for example I may be able to find out why higher education students believe the government needs to change by comparing survey results and finding common factors like if one piece of data answered the same questions as another. Having multiple results will allow me to get a better idea of what the group my research is based on thinks.

I would prefer an idea of what the entire populous believes rather than what a single person believes, the reason is that I will have an idea of what the group believes rather than what one person believes. By completing a survey in class a few weeks ago the results show that I am a critical researcher. My views/beliefs are classified as critical as they are different compared to qualitative and quantitative researchers. For example I believe that we should supply people with the tools they need to change the world rather than doing it for them. I also believe that people should be empowered to change society rather than focus on myths. This is the type of researcher I am classified based on my beliefs.
