That's an understatement. As I said earlier, there is no way to come to any conclusion at all in a self-selected poll like this. Other than some number of people who saw and then decided to take the poll identified themselves as engineers. That should be evident to an engineer.
Is 117 (at this writing) 'a lot'? How many members on this forum? How many saw the poll? How many chose to read it (I'm guessing engineers might be drawn to it more than others)? Would that representation be any higher/lower than any other group of internet forum users in the same economic class? You don't really have a denominator, so you can't say anything at all about it, other than X responded in each category.
You need some data to back that statement up. (OK, I'm just kidding... well, sort of).
The problem I have with that Q is that it was an all or nothing. IME, some engineers would be considered hot, some not - the same as the general population. Is the incidence of 'hotness' more/less than the general population? I dunno. So I took the Q literally. I've known more than one hot engineer, so therefore, engineers (plural) are hot.
You're welcome?
