Quantitative Research

One of the most important things in quantitative survey research is to identify the correct scale on which to measure responses. Without the correct scale, your metrics will be distorted and won't answer the true business question.

On Tumblr today, I was pleased to find a near-perfect match of metric and inquiry:

"On a scale of John Watson to Jack Harkness, how out of the closet are you?"


:D

That's a good one! What would the middle of the scale be? ETA It just occurred to me, it would be Mycroft right?
On an almost unrelated note, Ontario's next premier (Canada's equivalent a state's governor) will be the first gay premier in Canadian history, and Ontario's first female premier. I don't live in Ontario any more but I was pleased with the news.

That made me smile even if it is still a little off- Jack was omnisexual.
