from how they did the ranking
>> would be interesting to know who was on the initial list of 200 athletes
In February, pretesting began utilizing the SurveyMonkey Audience. Respondents were asked two open-ended questions: Who is the best athlete of all time? and What makes an athlete great? Responses from this survey supplemented a separate list cultivated by The Undefeated to curate the list of 200 athletes to rank in Phase One.
>>Â I could see golfers not doing all that well on the "Who is the best athlete of all time" for reasons mentioned by others in this thread
>>Â I'm not sure the typical survey monkey user is the best population to rank the best athletes
The Phase One survey narrowed the list of 200 athletes down to the top 60. It was conducted online on SurveyMonkey from April 10-14, 2017, among a national sample of 11,287 adults age 18 and older. Respondents for this survey were randomly selected from the nearly 3 million people who take surveys on the SurveyMonkey platform every day. Each respondent randomly received 10 athletes to rate (On a scale of 1 to 10 stars, how great of an athlete is each of the following? Skip any athlete you arent familiar with), and each athlete was rated by approximately 500 respondents.
>> not sure this is the best way to rank the final pool, pretty much the same way the narrowed the list from 200 to 60
The Phase Two survey ranked the top 60 athletes from Phase One according to four criteria, which were aspects that were mentioned as characteristics that made a great athlete in the pretesting survey
- 40% overall rating
- 20% dominance
- 20% inspiration
- 20% impact on society
Each respondent randomly received three athletes to rate on these four dimensions, which were combined to create an overall score. The athletes were ranked by the overall score to determine the top 50 Greatest Black Athletes of All Time. The Phase Two survey was conducted online on SurveyMonkey from April 26 to May 1, 2017, among a national sample of 10,523 adults age 18 and older. Respondents for this survey were randomly selected from the nearly 3 million people who take surveys on the SurveyMonkey platform every day.
>> this exercise really seems more of an effort by Survey Monkey to get some PR than a real effort to rank the best athletes.
