[Demographics Polling] Hub

[Kluge]

It's time to empower ourselves.

Google knows who we are, what kind of music we listen to, and what we fap to. Check it out for yourself @ https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/preferences (click "Control your ads settings." Click Edit next to Interests for the full lists.)
^Actually, their list for myself and the other person who responded suck, possibly due to low info. I allegedly like reggae and superhero films. He allegedly likes cosmetics and Bollywood. 

The NSA knows who we are (even whether or not we're a citizen, with 50% confidence!), who we want to kill, and what we want to kill them with. For a full list, try a FOIA request. Good luck!

Anyway, let's see if there're any interesting generalities, or if trends emerge after some years of polling, among forum members. Statistics for the forum will be posted here as years pass and polls complete.

Without further ado, here is the list of threads with polls:

• Gender
• Age
• Language Spoken
• Religion
• Personality Type
• Education
• Occupation

Please do not bump those threads, but rather discuss here, to keep down on the clutter.

Another interesting poll would be Occupation, too see if bitcoiners come from a wide range of industries,  or mostly tech related.

Yeah. I have one pre-done for education with results (never made a graph for it). I'll toss up an occupation poll with it. Would like to have a list of no more than 15 sectors, preferably under 10. Will look around and post within a couple hours.

Education & Occupation polls now added.

Last time you see all the [Demographics Polling] threads popping up all at once for at least a year.

ETA: Aside hub, all threads now locked. Voting still permitted, ofc.

According to the personality test, I'm not supposed to be a libertarian . Maybe I should read some Karl Marx...
Then again, Ron Paul ≠ libertarian...

Also, for religion, what about Shintoism?

If there are a bunch of "Other" responses, I'll modify the list. I generally look for options with a low number of responses, and merge that option with others (or "Other") to make room for responses which are most common in comments, but don't have an option representing them. Won't be until 2014, though... but this is something I have no problem doing for years. It'd be interesting to be able to see cross-sectional data (for instance, occupation and education by personality type), but I'd have to point people to an external survey service, and figure there'd probably be many less responses, where there probably wouldn't even be enough responses to get any kind of confidence in cross-sectional data even without adding that hassle. Ramble, ramble ramble...

I'm curious -- which type did it spit out at you?

ENFP:

You have moderate preference of Extraversion over Introversion (56%)
You have distinctive preference of Intuition over Sensing (62%)
You have moderate preference of Feeling over Thinking (25%)
You have slight preference of Perceiving over Judging (22%)

This is from an earlier test I did yesterday. I might try the first link once I get the time.

Hey, guys.

NSA here. Need to form some generalizations, so needing more replies. Thanks.

[Mike Christ]

I like Bitcoin.

Are you White? Good news - I just talked to my supervisor, and we're going to purge all Caucasians from our databases so we can better-target the real terrorists. -But, the software won't know you're White unless you suggest it - so at least fill out the "language spoken" and "religion" poll. For your own good. Thanks!

How do these polls prove someone is white?

It can prove, with 70% certainty (well above the minimum threshold of 50%), that somebody is White, which eventually brings us to a 20% certainty that the person is a US citizen - as a separate addition to usual routines, making it almost impossible (90% certain) that an English-speaking Christian will be targeted.

80% of Americans are white. With your logic, being American "proves", with 80% certainty, that one is white.

Apparently. Google is telling me all sorts of stuff I didn't know about myself. For example, I now am interested in bicycles and East Asian music.

funniest recommendation i saw before using ghostery was a bunch of caviar adverts after searching for a western digital harddisk named caviar blue.
it's always hard not to laugh in presence of employees when i have to configure some computers at work. You wouldn't believe what kinds of stuff usual office workers are googling during their worktime.

google (or microsoft,apple) hangs out with you nearly every second of your digital life.
I'm glad I'm that old that I didn't have to spend my whole childhood with that fucker.
It's frightening that younger generations will be analyzed and observed from the first day they'll use a computer/smartphone to becoming an adult.
That opens another level of perversion for marketing strategies.
