Idiogrid offers a wide array of statistical analyses commonly employed by personality psychologists, self-concept researchers, and clinical psychologists, among others. Idiogrid also exports grids to both SAS and SPSS where additional analyses can be employed. If a particular analysis is not available in Idiogrid, it can likely be found in one of these major statistical programs. Idiogrid currently offers the following analyses:

• Entire Grid, Element, and Construct Descriptive Statistics

• Euclidean Distances
• City-block Distances
• Proximities for binary grids
