TIPSters--

Has anyone on the group ever calculated profile similarity, or the
similarity between two persons/groups/whatever scored across a number of
different dimensions? (Example: Imagine voters rating politicians across a
number of different dimensions, such as financial conservatism/liberalism,
relations with the media, hawkishness, charisma, etc. Profile similarity
would enable you to answer questions like, "*Overall*, is Tony Blair more
like George Bush or more like Bill Clinton?")

And have you ever done this in SPSS?  

I'm working on a project using profile similarity right now, and I've
found a couple of different approaches to it, and am wondering what advice
any of you might be able to share. Especially if you've worked in in SPSS.

Feel free to respond to me privately, as I expect this may not be of
interest to the group at large. 

Thank you!

Robin
