Checking your results
Who can view survey results?
Only Organization Admins and Content Moderators can see the results of surveys.
When can we see the results?
Results are only shown once at least three people have responded to your survey.
Where can we see the results?
Once at least three people have responded to your survey, you'll see results in real-time.
From Admin, click on Surveys in the navigation bar, and then select the survey you want to see the results of.
The results from that survey will look like the image shown here.
How long are the results stored?
Results from surveys are stored permanently.
Can I see how a certain user responded?
Blink surveys are anonymous, meaning there is no way for anyone to identify participants personally.
How are the results calculated?
Blink survey scores are typically calculated as a score out of 100, representing average sentiment based on responses to rating-scale questions (such as 1–5, 1–10, smiley faces, or similar). Each answer is assigned a numerical value, and the overall score is then computed as a mean of all valid responses, normalized to the 0–100 scale for clarity. For example, a question answered by 10 respondents with an average score of 6.6 out of 10 would show as 66/100.
Participation
Percentage of the total audience who have completed the survey. In addition to overall participation, you can break the results down by team, line manager, department, location, or company.
From the bottom of the survey results page, click on the way you'd like to have the results broken down by.
You can then sort to find the highest or lowest participation as desired.
Question score
For questions with different rating systems (e.g., smiley faces or 1–5), Blink assigns each possible response a value, calculates the mean, and rescores to a percentage out of 100 (see table below). From these, we take the average of this result to give the score shown.
Strongly Agree | 100% |
Agree | 75% |
Neutral | 50% |
Disagree | 25% |
Strongly Disagree | 0% |
Free-text or yes/no responses are not factored into numeric scores—instead, these can be reported separately or used for sentiment analysis where available.
Overall score
Overall scores are calculated as an average of all question scores from that survey.
