Project # 6 Form Summary and Analysis

  "You Can Have This Super Power...But" Google Form


I created the form titled "You Can Have This Super Power...But". In this form, people had the option of having a super power, but the power came with a consequence. Everyone had to answer ten of these questions. The questions are as followed: 1. You can have invisibility, but when you are not invisible, you are blind. 2. You can have angel wings, but when the wings come in or out, you will feel the worst pain you have ever felt. 3. You can fly, but you can't walk. 4. You can travel through time, but you can't pick the time period to which you travel. 5. You are telepathic, but you are also a mute. 6. You are a shape-shifter, but not even you know what your original form looks like. 7. You can heal instantly, but when you heal, the pain is twice as bad as the injury. 8. You are pyrokinetic, but you will never be able to quench your thirst. 9. You have super speed, but you are very clumsy. 10. You can heal others, but you take on their affliction for thirty minutes for it to dissolve away. Everyone had to answer each question with a yes or no answer. The answers to the questions are as follows: 1. No- 15 Yes-4 2. No-18 Yes-1 3. No-12 Yes-7 4. No-9 Yes-10 5. No-14 Yes-5 6. No-13 Yes-6 7. No-9 Yes-10 8. No-18 Yes-1 9. No-11 Yes-8 10. No-6 Yes-13

 For this project, I wanted to do something different. My questions didn't require any previous knowledge of anything. They are simply questions of whether or not someone is willing to sacrifice something to have an awesome super power. Even though these questions seem to simply be yes or no questions, I think the answers say a lot about the people who answered them.

 The majority of the people chose "no" for most of the questions. For seven out of the ten questions, the majority of the answers given was "no". I think this says a lot about people. Most people want to be extraordinary in some way, but they aren't willing to have the troubles that go along with the 'powers'. Nothing is given to us without its troubles. It is up to us to determine if we are willing to go through the troubles to have the power that we want. I think it's really interesting to hear people's different answers. Some people were much more willing to accept the consequence that came with the powers than others were. People only answered yes to a few of the questions. I'm really glad that we got to come up with our own questions for this project. I was really able to think outside of the box, and I really enjoyed coming up with these questions and seeing people's answers.
