Qualitative data is generally considered to be subjective...depending on the perspectives and opinions of the researchers or people involved in the dissemination of the information. Mainly testimonials and opinions fall into this category...not fact based, but could be "true" to someone depending on the degree of proof they require to become "believers" and whether one considers a belief to be a truth at all.

Quantitative data is something that can be measured and analyzed mathematically. Scientists require this type of proof to be convinced...and they typically deliver their data with degrees of significance. Results must be reproducible to gain scientific acceptance. The double blind controlled study is required for proving to the government (FDA) in the USA that a medication is both safe and effective.
