Amorphitative Research 

Amorphitative research is the least reliable method of data collection. Quantitative research data is the most reliable and rigorous form of data, usually involving large sample sizes. Qualitative research is much less reliable but still considered a good source of data for uncovering concepts, definitions, language, etc. with smaller sample sizes. Amorphitative research has extremely small sample sizes with completely contradictory data. Data from amorphitative research is completely worthless.
At first, the research was described as qualitative because of the small sample size, but after reviewing the results and realizing that all the interviews were completely contradictory the study was dubbed amorphitative research.
