Just a few questions that I think it would be interesting for the board to have semi-reliable data on. The advantage of the google form over strawpoll is that it will discourage rigging and puts all the questions on one page. I'll post the results either in 24 hours or when this thread gets archived, whichever comes first.

This is pretty interesting. Let's see what the results will look like.
>>27472062
Fuck off hasbro shill
>>27472124
I'm watching the results come in and it's already fascinating. It seems like people are being much more honest than usual, because since nobody except me can see the results, they aren't influenced by other responders. It's pretty neat.
>>27472162
>implying
But out of curiosity, what about the form makes you think I'm a hasbro shill? I'm not, I just wanted the form to have the most neutral language possible to avoid influencing responses, but based on your post I clearly let one of my biases slip through somewhere.
>>27472062
Why are the CMCs and Spike missing? Why not include all of the 10 major characters?
>>27472203
i was about to ask this as well.
>>27472203
By 10 I include Discord.
>>27472189
>But out of curiosity, what about the form makes you think I'm a hasbro shill?
Aside from the lewd questions
These are the exact same questions Hasbro asked for their who is your favorite pony contest.
You are data mining
>>27472254
Why would Hasbro come here?
>>27472217
>>27472217
>>27472224
This would fall under the category of 'improvements that I will be making when I put the final version of this form up next week'
This is more of a practice run to see how well this works. If I get a significant enough number of respondents, I plan on making a more in depth version of the form with more questions.
>>27472254
Okay, well I only actually started watching the show and browsing this board in September of '15 (Although I've been on 4chan for a lot longer) so I had no fucking clue that that was even a thing, let alone had knowledge of what questions were on it.
>>27472290
The best pony poll was nothing like this, also it got hacked too.
>>27472287
Why did Lauren Faust come here?
>>27472290
>backpedaling
>>27472315
What, I'm not allowed to admit that there's a flaw in something I threw together in 10 minutes? And I'm forbidden from wanting to improve on it?
>>27472304
To complain about EQG.
>>27472382
>damage control
>>27472391
EQG wasn't around when she visited
>>27472413
It was announced.
>>27472431
I don't think she posted anything about it while she was here though.
>>27472501
She made an angry tweet about it the same day she came here.
Alright, so far there have been 22 responses. Which is better than expected, but not quite enough for me to confidently declare that the results will be representative of the whole board.
Shamelessly bumping my thread because 31 responses is still kinda lackluster.
>>27472382
>something I threw together in 10 minutes
next time you want to do something for science, why not put some fucking effort into it?
>>27473100
>Spend hours writing a survey that I know will be flawed because I'm one person
>then weep over all the flaws that make it into the final product because of my biases
I'm heavily biased towards the M6, so frankly the flaws that made it into the survey would have been there no matter how long I spent on it. I think my current method of throwing out a first effort and then taking a week to use what I learn to improve the survey is better. And I was being hyperbolic, I actually took like half an hour to make the survey.
>>27472514
But you claimed she came here to complain about EQG.
Which is wrong
>>27473218
>letting your own bias effect surveys
you shouldnt be doing them in the first place if you cant be neutral about data. thats the whole point.
>>27474011
Well obviously I'm neutral about the data. I'm referring to how I left spike and the cmc off the list of individual choices despite them being major characters. It wasn't on purpose, I just didn't spot it because I prefer the M6 to them and so I didn't think to include them as individual options.
I want results!
>>27474141
Be patient, we're at 41 responses now, I'll be comfortable posting results at 50 or more, even though ideally I'd like 100 respondents. But trust me, the results are very, very interesting.
If I don't get 5 more responses by 2100 hrs PST, I'll prep and post the results. Please take the survey if you haven't already though, even though 45 is a decent sample size I'd like to have as much data as possible.
>>27474317
no one cares about your shitty survey
>>27474416
You cared enough to reply, and 46 people cared enough to respond. Regardless, it's 2100, so responses are closed and I'm going to begin posting the data.
>>27474416
I care.

Post the fucking link with the results
>>27474609
It doesn't work like that. I can take screenshots, upload the excel spreadsheet I had the program generate, and make pdfs of the individual response forms, but I figured just tabulating everything and posting it would be easier.
>>27474609
Here's a shot of the Q1 pie chart.

Can't even see every option in the legend ffs
Google form usually generates the results like pic related, where the fuck is it
>>27474726
See for yourself, only the creator can view the results page: https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/d/1RDPxqOrLChUM5ro0-SlVMxDV6ew45HZOnh0Z6bN6T0A/edit#responses
For you, it'll just show 'no longer accepting responses'

Fucking normies.

You weren't kidding when you said the results were interesting.

rarara worst pony confirmed
>>27474864
>Fluttershy is the least hated aside from the main character
Interesting, considering how much relentless shit she gets on here.
>>27474806
Don't worry, I'll be doing another one next week. A better one.
>>27474881
Thanks fampai. I evidently gave up too soon. It should be published now, I'll try and set up a link in a minute.

Nah, it still shows the permission fhink. Fuck this shit
>>27474881
Hypothetically, any of the respondents can now see the data.
>>27475058
permission thing*
>>27475058
Bizarre, I've tried publishing it several times now. I'll see if I can find a different way.
>>27474883
Technically it's Pinkie if you include the most favorite pony poll as well.
Here's the raw data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18NdtgRH30Q3HTdjsLpjEE5TP_3iCJesbFTEcRSAg3o8/edit#gid=1945540870
Here you can peruse all the individual response forms in order of submission:

And here, at last, is a link to the analytics:

>>27475343
>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1RDPxqOrLChUM5ro0-SlVMxDV6ew45HZOnh0Z6bN6T0A/viewanalytics
it works
>>27475350
Yup. Turns out I needed to de-link the form from the spreadsheet to finalize the publication of the analytics. Which will make the results of next week's survey (Or, more likely, Saturday's survey, since all that delicious data from people in the sticky will make much more representative) much easier to share!
>Another anon voted Maud
Whoever you are, you have good taste in pone
>>27476910
Maud is the most intelligent pony in the show.
>>27477366
>Maud is the most autistic pony in the show.
fixed, m8
>>27474808
This is surprising and confusing.
When you faggots voted for Twilight, do you mean Twilight and her character in general? Or the current Princess Twilight? Or maybe both?
I voted apulhorse but Twilight would have been my choice if we're talking personality.
>>27477478
So Twilight would have been your choice if she weren't so... ugly? If she has the best personality, what is physically wrong with her?
>>27477497
She's not ugly. Her dorkness looks very elegant with wings. It just looks... weird.
3 seasons later and I still can't get used to it. It's like putting a TV antenna on a computer monitor. Just weird.
>>27477506
Twilight was always my favorite pone.I like them all almost equally.Pinkie can go party in a volcano.
Her transformation was bullshit and fuck everything about that and that episode and rip her cozy library what the fuck is even the new castle fight me 1 on 1 whoever made that decision
But she still seems like the same old pony she used to be, so shes still cool in my book.
>>27477563
>>27477586
Why must you hurt me this way?
Why is Spike not on the poll?
![Best+pony+is+the+best+pony+is+everypony+but+my_92b0d6_3099140[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/CJ7Flb3.jpg "Best+pony+is+the+best+pony+is+everypony+but+my_92b0d6_3099140[1].jpg")
>>27477768
>>27477768
Spike is not a pony. Which is why he isn't on this poll and won't be on the next one either.
>>27474883
Well, better to be controversial than boring.
>applejack
>>27478685
I don't get why Rarity's so controversial. She doesn't do anything.
>>27478697
She is a successful business owner, and the element of generosity, cognitive dissonance. People would have liked her better if she was like Trixie.
It's not working for me. Please help me.
>>27478714
Poll's closed
>>27478719
I am so sad.
>>27478706
...I don't get it
>>27478685
Applejack received 0% of the votes for favorite pony, so you aren't wrong.
>>27478723
There will be a new, longer, and better poll tomorrow in the sticky. And I will shamelessly shill it, so it'll be easy to find. So take heart!
