Data analysis involved descriptive techniques (frequency distribution) and multivariate (cluster analysis and discriminating). In its results the work could identify well evaluated variables, also structures, processes and behaviors that must be perfected. The use of statistical techniques allowed the identification of two groups (called ";more demanding"; and ";less demanding";) and the attributes responsible for dissent, which serves as a parameter for prioritizing improvement processes.
