Lintlha tsa mantlha: Sehlopha sena sa pokello ea lintlha se sebetsana le lintlha tse bokelletsoeng ka kotloloho mohloling ka liphuputso, lipotso, lihlopha le lipuisano. Lintlha tsa motheo li lokiselitsoe ka ho khetheha ho finyella litlhoko tsa thuto ea lipatlisiso, leha ho le joalo, ho ka nka nako le ho bitsa chelete e ngata ho li bokella. 2. Lintlha tsa Bobeli: Sehlopha sena se kenyelletsa ho bokella lintlha ho tsoa mehloling e teng joalo ka likhatiso, likoranta le lirekoto tsa mmuso. Lintlha tsa bobeli li na le litšenyehelo tse tlaase ebile li fumaneha habonolo, leha ho le joalo, li ka na tsa e-ba tse tobileng kapa tsa se ke tsa hlakisa litlhoko tsa thuto ea lipatlisiso. 3. Qualitative Data: Sehlopha sena sa pokello ea lintlha se sebetsana le pokello ea lintlha tseo e seng tsa linomoro tse kang maikutlo, maikutlo le liphihlelo.
