I need a few examples too..'Im kinda confused with both words..

anonymous · Answer

"quantitative" is an adjective describing something measurable or countable.

anonymous · Answer

If I ask you how TALL Greg is, you can measure it and tell me in a number. If I ask you how NICE Greg is, you can't measure that, you can only describe it. Niceness is not quantitative. It's qualitative.

another important historical one:
science in the time of the Greeks like Aristotle was qualitative, i.e. it involved little numerical observation.
modern science is based heavily on quantitative measurements.
