When I read the survey results, I noticed some weirdness in the percentages to the questions “Usage”, “Draw”, “Temporal Habits (Weekdays)” and “Temporal Habits (Weekends)”: The answers sum to 100%, but the response counts don’t sum to 23. These questions seem to have offered respondents to pick multiple answers, so imo the percentage values shouldn’t be ‘X% of responses are option Z’ but instead ‘X% of the 23 respondents picked this option’.
I’m putting together the 2015 one now (yeah, it’s late), and noticed this while looking back here for suggestions/fixes. I agree with you but I’m not sure how painful it will be to get it right. Last year I just took the stats that Google gave me on the responses.
Thanks for putting this together!
