Yeah, I think the only questions I’d be fine with getting aggregated results for are:
- On a scale from 1 (only choice) to 5 (only parser), how would you classify the interactive fiction games you play?
- On a scale from 1 (only choice) to 5 (only parser), how would you classify the interactive fiction games you create or want to create?
- Have you ever entered a game into IFComp or Spring Thing?
- How many interactive fiction games have you released, in total?
- Scenario A and Scenario B from the “Fun” section
Even that might be too much. And though they look innocuous, I feel like a lot of the other questions in the IF section are potentially identifying, such as the question about IF authoring systems.
Here are the bar charts for the parser and choice questions. I put the result in text below the graphs, if you can’t see the images. “IF Games You Want To Create?” has a more even distribution than “IF Games You Play?”, which is kind of a bell curve, though the results for both questions skew slightly to the parser side.
