RE: Poll on titles

Russell,

 

I am going to question in advance any possible validity to your poll results. First, any
poll that requires you to login to yet another service (like Google Friend Connect) will
limit and bias your sample. (I'm not going to join something just to answer a survey, and
I know plenty of others who feel the same way.) There are many free and public survey
tools (e.g., surveymonkey) that do not require this. Second, asking only first choice on a
limited set throws away information and yields spurious results. First and second choices
or, better yet, ranking, yields more information and more meaningful results.

Subject: [agile-usability] Poll on titles

 





I created a poll on your *preference* for a title in our field (User Experience Designer,
User Interface Engineer, ...).

What I'm interested in is what is your first choice for a title (despite what your title
may currently be).

 

If you have 2min, please take the poll. I plan to publish the results to this list after
30 days of input (assuming

enough people take the poll).

 

The poll is in a sidebar widget top right at:   <http://www.dexodesign.com/>

Note: using a Google Webelement to do this and requires you to login with Google's Friend
Connect to answer the poll.

(may have missed it, but didn't see an anonymous option)

 

Thx!!!
