Spacefem's Livejournal Poll Matrixer
Here's the story: Livejournal lets you see who picked which poll option, but it takes a lot more manual work on your part to see how that data correlates. So I made this script to combine options.
All you do is go to your poll, click "view results", click "view answers" for the questions you want to combine, and copy/paste that text into box 1 and 2 below. Here's what you get from livejournal when do you a "view answers":
How attractive are you?
- spacefem -- Really attractive
- dwh -- Deathly attractive
- zorpisuttle -- Really attractive
- ferngully -- Really attractive
- metawidget -- I'm not telling!
Will you go out with me?
- spacefem -- Of course
- dwh -- Maybe
- zorpisuttle -- Of course
- ferngully -- Of course
- metawidget -- Maybe
Here's what I give you:
| | Of course | Maybe |
| Really attractive | 3 | 0 |
| Deathly attractive | 0 | 1 |
| I'm not telling! | 0 | 1 |
So now I can tell that all the really attractive people are the types who'd want to go out with me. And it'll even put the combined/merged answers of all users in the text field, so you can keep adding questions on, if that makes sense.
No, sorry, I'm not going to run nutty correlation analysis on this stuff, I hated statistics. If I just gave you the answer it'd ruin some teacher's chance to use this to teach marginal probability.
Nifty! Okay, your turn:
