My assignment was to interview people, ask them for specific traits and try to see any correlation between them. I hope that I'll have at least 150 votes in each poll. Thank you :).

Voted. Why doesn't your blood type question have choices for +/-?

I don't understand... you have a nice poll and all but each poll question is independent of the others. How the heck are you going to correlate any data from that? Sure 85% of people polled were right handed and 40% had blue eyes, but you have no way to tell how many right handed people have blue eyes....
I think that is what your teacher really wants.

Me, too...can't even do a simple cross-tab to see, as you guys have pointed out, how many O-blood types are gay :)

i voted for brown eyes although mine are a mix between brown and green. and what AcidBath said is correct. u have no way of attaching certain traits to other traits. this won't work.
but i'll give u mine here:
hand:right
bloodtype: b+
hair color: brown
eye color: brown green
sexual orientation: opposite sex. i ain't gay!
are you currently in a relationship: no
thank you: no prob;)

Maybe you should ask people to PM you their answers and bump the thread when they do. You could manually post a running tally in the OP if you want. But it would probably need to be via PM to get good answers if only because of the gay/straight question.

No, I think I explained it wrong. It was more like:The chance that someone is right-handed AND had bloodtype O.

Maybe the real question he's researching is what percentage of people will click the Vote option on the last question?
