Poll results - We Are a Sensitive Group!

[Guest guest]

Hi List,

 

Wow, with a total of 12 people voting, we ended up with a whopping 75% of

voters who believe they are sensitive in one way or another.

 

If this holds muster for the greater AT community, can anyone think of ideal

ways to use this info?

 

Cheers,

Christina

Christina,

 

Unfortunately, I don't think you can use these results as anything

meaningful. I'm not at all a mathematician/statistician (far from it)

but you just can't extrapolate these results to the greater AT or any

other community. Common sense dictates that to begin with you'd have to

at least look at the number of this listserve rs, calculate the

percentage of them that chose to participate in the poll and then figure

out why the rest of the rs did not participate in the poll.

What you do with statistical analysis of these numbers I won't know, sorry.

 

I can only tell for myself why I decided not to participate in the

poll. It's because the question contained the " desired " , obvious answer.

What does it mean, and how do you feel about saying " no " to the poll

question, especially since the word " sensitive " was nowhere defined?

Does it mean I'm not sensitive to anything, or to something in

particular? It appears to me that the question was devised to produce a

" yes " answer, or at least a discussion on what the word " sensitive "

means. But I decided that the subject was too general to broach, and the

askers of the question didn't quite appear to know what they were trying

to find out, so I chose not to answer it at all. I'd be surprised if am

the only one.

 

Just my two cents worth.

 

Best,

Nika

Nika,

 

Thanks for your response. It's good to better understand your own

shortcomings - and I am inclined to put my own opinion slap-dash right

into the polls.

 

Your well-written response clearly shows that you considered

responding before choosing to not do so. Please let me know if you

have time to help write a poll or two. Someone who can be less

partial may be able to appeal to more responders. The request is a

general one to the list-at-large, as well. If you'd like to

contribute an idea for a poll, or a question, please send it on in.

 

Thanks,

Christina

Christina,

 

I certainly didn't mean to criticize you personally. I really hope you

didn't take any offense. If you did, I apologize profusely, that was not

at all my intention.

 

I'll be very happy to help in any way I can, poll or no poll. Just drop

me a line, I'm at my computer most of the day. My head is your head. )

 

Cheers,

Nika

Hi Nika,

 

No offense taken at all. Your post rang true, and I am not above admitting

my faults. We all have them.

 

I really do appreciate the offer of help, and I'll check with you off-list.

Again, everyone is welcome to submit ideas for future polls.

 

Cheers,

Christina

I didn't understand how it was worded and I was gonna post something to

that effect and got distracted by something else. I really don't know

what I am at the moment anyway so I don't think I could have answered

accurately.

Have to admit I didn't reply to this one. Would have had to vote " Hell NO!

I'm not sensitive to anything except dry skin. " I found it a little too

" twilight zone " for me. Not that I'm ground in reality and not that I don't

believe that some folk are a little " sensitive " to woooo-ooooh things (after

all, my mother can feel ghosts etc.), it just " uncomfortable " to lump it in

with aromatherapy. For me.

Oh. See, I took it very literal. lol! Guess that's an aspie for you. I

have sensory intigration disorder, so I am ultra sensitive to smells,

sounds, and feels. That's why I voted " yes " . :-)
