Survey Results

While compiling my information that I have gathered by the surveys I had sent out, I

came up with this. Most of the data I have collected was very similar to the survey that I have

filled out. The only ones that were different were questions numbers five, six, ten and eleven and

that’s because they were more detailed questions that had a variety of answers. The one thing

that stood out to me the most out of all of this was that I have added the “Least Common

Answer” to the stats. The reason being was that the data was so similar to mines and that there

were many good answers that I had to figure out a way to add this very helpful information to the

overall information I have gained. One example is on Question four I asked everyone would they

follow the group on Twitter/Facebook and two out of the fifty people said that they “wouldn’t

because they are graduating this year” and another two out of fifty said that they “do not have

either”.

Another example is on Question six it asks “what three things stand out the most when

you open this pamphlet?” and the least common answers helped out here too! My answers

mostly matched their “Most Common Answers”, which made it less helpful and more general,

but when we look at the “Least Common Answers” we get more help than we can imagine. One

example is how the “Spotlight Winner” had 8 out of 50 people saying this, 2 out of 50 people

said that “Pitchfest” stood out to them the most, “Arts and Culture” stood out the most with 4 out

of 50 saying so, and “Outdoor Activities” stood out the most with 4 out of 50 people saying this.

The last example is on Question 11 it asks what improvements can be done and a lot of

people, said “None at all”. While the least common answers said that they would add bullets

instead of paragraphs (6 out of 50 people said this), learn more about “How to get involved” (4

out of 50 people said this) and more pictures (5 out of 50 people said this). This is truly helpful

because it makes a huge difference in the data collected.

Overall, I am very happy about the data I have collected. It was an incredible journey to

get all those surveys in and it was interesting to read all the different opinions and to see if mines

made any real difference. What I have found out was that my individual survey did not make a

difference at all and that the “Least Common Answer” made a huge difference in my data

collection. I thank God I was able to get the data and the information together and how well

everything turned out. I have now came to an overall conclusion that I will use the “Least

Common Answers” from questions One, Five, Six and Eleven for a more detailed edit and the

rest I would just use the “Most Common Answer” for the most part. With this in mind I am

positive that we can make a better pamphlet for Johnstown Lift and help them out greatly.
