Paul thank you for putting together the Survey.
I feel I'd like to raise a couple of points about the criteria: I'm not sure that 'ethnicity' as a value is as relevant as nationality is. And can I suggest that this thread be used as a test bed for survey questions and that after consensus another survey thread be posted and this one deleted? |

Paul, thanks for putting so much work into all this. For ethnicities, I'm surprised not to see at the least Latino/Hispanic and Middle Eastern as possibilities. And as issybird pointed out, no option for a master's.

There can be at most 30 items in this poll. Which is why no Masters between Bachelor and Ph.D.
No Hispanic category, because I took the items from a UK list, which probably wasn't a brilliant idea. I'm willing to re-work or drop the Ethnicity category. The problem with a Nationality category is that there are SO many! Suggestions for changes to the questions are welcome. I'll start a new poll later this week once we're happy with a set of questions. |

Just as a starter, what are we trying to gain from the data?

Just a general overview of the voting population, for fun. Also, if it turns out that 80% of the voters read SF/Fantasy as their preferred genre, it may explain results.

Aren't Chinese and Japanese subsets of Asian?

I think country of origin might be better than ethnicity. There are probably too many countries to list, so how about: American; European; Australasian; Asian;South American; African (maybe Middle-Eastern as well?)?
Given that non-fiction was specifically excluded from the nominations, it could be removed from the genres too (the question becomes "which fiction genres do you read most often?"). Is Sex:Other a joke, or do we really have members who are neither male nor female? |
