Abstract
The problem of testing statistical hypotheses of independence of two multiresponse variables is considered. This is a specific inferential environment to analyze certain patterns particularly for the questionnaire data. Data analyst normally looks for certain combination of responses being more frequently chosen than the other ones. As a result of experimental study we formulate some practical advices and suggest areas of further research.
