I noticed that Apple and Banana rank in the top two. While clearly they are very familiar fruit to your audience, they are also near the beginning of the alphabet. I wonder if alphabetical order creates a bias.
- pattle 3y agoI changed it so they are ordered randomly now. Let see if that makes a difference. Having them in alphabetical does make it easier to find what you want but there is a search. For some questions I'm going to have to display the answers in some kind of fixed order, for example chronological order for films
- mysterydip 3y agoI was just coming here to ask if it could be alphabetical because the list is so long I can't find anything :) Maybe do Z-A instead? There's also so many fruits I've never heard of that I feel like my opinion of which is best would be inaccurate (maybe that's the point?)
- sebstefan 3y agoA to Z but reversed 50% of the time is the way to go to avoid bias while still being sorted one way or another
