Qualitative is something that you cannot count or assign a number to. One example of qualitative would be if you have two types of paint, gloss or matte, and you wanted to know which dried faster. Gloss and matte have no number value and are then considered quantitative. Another qualitative value could be color. From personal experience I know that our white pigment causes resins to set a lot slower than solid colors such as blue and red. I don't know a whole lot about paint, but I'm pretty sure if you wanted to make the qualitative property quantitative you would find some quantifiable properties that are specific to gloss or matte paint, like chemical compositions or viscosity.

Data that can't be expressed in numbers is called qualitative data, which includes descriptions and observations. Color, texture, emotions, and shape are examples of qualitative data.
Qualitative means what is it while quantative means how much is there. Some examples of qualitative data might be whether a solution is of copper or iron or if a compound is formed with nitrate or carbonate. Quantative data could be the concentration of a solution or the mass present in a sample.
Quantitative data is measurable and numerical in nature. In contrast, qualitative data is any data that is not numerical and cannot be measured, only observed. Examples of quantitative data include age, height, year, and population. Examples of qualitative data include color, gender, country, and city.
