Profile done

I finished our social technographics profile yesterday. The results surprised me, but in a different way than they were surprising me the other day.

Two things jumped out at me. One is the low level of Inactives. I thought for sure that number would be above the U.S. average. The other is the high level of Collectors. I have no idea where that comes from, and may have to do a deeper dive to determine why the number is 25% higher than the national average. On the other hand, 23.8% still isn't very high.

Another interesting result from the survey was the response to the question "Have you ever contributed to or edited a wiki?" Not a single person answered yes.
