17. The computer server-implemented method of claim 16 , wherein the pair-wise scoring further comprises: for each response of the plurality of responses to the return queries of the selected digital filter, using the computer server, determining a normalized distance between responses of the respondent and the co-respondent of the selected combination of respondent and co-respondent digital filters; and using the computer server, combining a plurality of normalized distance determinations for the plurality of responses to the return queries to form a normalized alignment score.
18. The computer server-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the pair-wise scoring further comprises: using the computer server, differentially weighting the unmodified alignment score and normalized alignment score; and using the computer server, combining the differentially weighted unmodified alignment score and normalized alignment score to form the pair-wise alignment score.
