Putting aside all of the flaws of this survey, I can't help but feel that one could find some other demographic or personality trait that would be a better predictor of what a person would prefer from a web experience. If the researchers were setting out to find what these dimensions might be and doing actual research (not just surveys), instead of chasing after a flawed hypothesis, then I would be much more interested in what they find. Yes, it would be expensive, but it would also be useful. I came to post something similar to what Shelly said–these results are wholly unconvincing and I doubt they’re even statistically significant.
