Personal takeaways

 

The validity of quantitative studies can be met with skepticism even if you involve all the right people in its development.

 
 

 
 
 

It's vital that when you present a survey analysis, you indicate its limitations to prevent stakeholders from drawing faulty conclusions.

 
 

 
 
 
 

Randomizing answer choices for survey questions and creating straightforward content is imperative to reduce user bias.
