Glitch Demographics Survey

That thread down there, average age of a Glitcher... great idea! So I made a short little survey for everyone to partake in. Please fill it out so we can get a bit of a snapshot of the make-up of Ur.

I will update periodically with results. :D

LINK TEMPORARILY REMOVED -- I have to relocate the survey to somewhere truly free. Surveymonkey only lets me view the first 100 responses if I don't fork over the cash, and so far I have 103!

  • So far, it looks like a Glitchian is most likely to be a female, age 18-40, living in the United States. Are you being under-represented? Fill out the survey! It will take you two minutes. :)

  • I think the age brackets may skew the result very slightly. The first three are fine, but you have overlap in the last two brackets; 40 and 47 each appear in two different brackets, and people will tend to choose the lowest applicable to them.

  • oh snap, thanks for pointing that out!

  • I will be posting preliminary results when I have 50 respondents. So far I've only got 37.

  • i participated almost as soon as this thread was posted, but of course i am still underrepresented.  :( lol

    Do you get information about the rest of the distribution too?  that would be interesting :)   (or maybe that's what you mean by preliminary results)

  • This is cool, thanks!

  • Here's an update for you! Keep answering (once per person, of course), and I'll keep updating.

    Lara, what do you mean about distribution?
    Posted 14 months ago by ༺Lhyzz༻ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • That's what I meant :D  Thanks heaps!
    Posted 14 months ago by Lara Subscriber! | Permalink
  • BTW, please don't let these results affect your answers. I notice the most recent person to answer since I posted them put 'Alph' as his favorite giant, and it may or may not be a coincidence that Alph and Zille were the only ones not to get a vote so far. ;)

    Love you guys!

  • I voted for Zille, because I have her Icon in my house. You can check if you don't believe me :P

    Edit: also read the results only after filling out the survey, AS YOU SHOULD TOO!

  • What about the other 59,000 Glitches who haven't answered?  

    Suppose only single women between 18 and 39 are interested in this kind of off-topic activity, and that the men who play don't like filling out surveys?

  • though it's tempting, i'm personally gonna let selection bias be something tinyspeck can worry about in its data collection heh.
    Posted 14 months ago by Lara Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Windborn, obviously I've thought of that. There's unfortunately nothing I can do. If the men who read this don't take the time to fill out the survey (which takes no more than five minutes), then they won't be represented.

    This is for fun, I'm not drawing up congressional districts or something. ;P

  • Looks good so far.  I voted Mint Chocolate Chip.  So yummy.  And I like Tii best.  The math giant.
    Posted 13 months ago by MeansDarling Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @WindBorn- I filled it out. And I'm totes a dude :)
    Posted 13 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Unfortunately, I have had to remove the link because SurveyMonkey won't give me results past the first 100 responses unless I pay $17/month. If anyone has any suggestions as to where I can move the survey to that will be truly free, I'd love it. 

    I will try to find a solution soon.

  • I don't know how to do it, but you can do forms that feed a spreadsheet on Google Docs. Given there's a lot of other Glitchen who do use Docs a lot, they might be able to help.
