Broken: Survey information design

ectGregg Sporar writes:

Here's a screen shot from an online survey that ran at envisioncentraltexas.org. All of the questions have poorly done graphics - values out of proportion, etc. It's almost as if the designers of the graphics said: "Let's read everything Tufte has written about this and then do the exact opposite."

It's only broken if you want people to understand the question.

I don't thinks its broken, the question is pretty strait foreward and the grpahics are okay, nothing horrible or confusing.

That's bad enough that it's *got* to be intentional. The survey-writer wants a particular outcome.

Well Simon and Brian - if you paid attention to the news you would know - we'll be getting it from Iraq - our TX president has been working on it for a couple years now - and if that don't work - off to Iran - or Korea - or,,,,,,,
