Say Good-bye to Scales with Gamified Testing

Despite growing cynicism of survey research and its ability to give accurate information, this paper provides evidence that what people report from surveys can be accurate. But more importantly, connecting data from two sources, including unstructured text data, provides greater contextualization of the results.

Washington, DC- A just released Ipsos poll tested the enthusiasm that Americans might potentially have for volunteering for a mission to Mars. In recent statements, Elon Musk, private space company SpaceX founder, indicated that early missions to Mars involve a high risk of fatality.

Washington, DC – When it comes to receiving or giving a gift, roughly six in ten (58%) Americans say that a personalized, hand-written note helps to make the gift stand out, according to a recent online survey conducted by Ipsos on behalf of Cramer- Krasselt. Just under half of those surveyed also believe that the quality of the presentation (45%) and the quality of gift wrapping (44%) is also a major factor in helping make a gift special, while two in five (38%) say the same about the ribbon used. The use of a gift tag (25%) and the quality of the box (23%) are seen as making gifts stand out by roughly a quarter of all respondents, and 20% feel that the use of a gift topper can help make a gift stand out whether giving or receiving something special.
