multidimensional scaling



dear statisticians,

I have a question concerning an MDS-analysis.Suppose we want to
examine the interrelations in an organisation.we ask the collegeas
(n=15) the two following questions:
- number your collegeas from 'I like to work with the most' till
'Ilike to work with the least'. The one you like the most you
givenumber one, than two, and so on.
- number your collegeas from 'has the most skills and knowledge
aboutthe problems concerning the organisation' till 'has the least
skillsand knowledge'. The one with the most skills and knowledge
receivesthe score of one, the second best the score of two, and so
on.

To examine the interrelations in the organisation we can use MDS.
Now,the following problem occured:I can put each question in a 15x15
matrix (collegeas with respect toother collegeas), with row
conditionality and than do the MDS-analysis. But I'm extremely
interested in how those two configurationscoincide. How can I do this?
Do I use three-way MDS (because all theinformation I have concerning
three-way MDS involves situations wherematrices stand for individuals.
I want to examine two differentconstructs in two different matrices)?
Or can I use procrustesprocedures? Or are their other possibilities?
Is all this alsopossible with SAS?

Thank you in advance,

E.
