A checkbox, since the "check" mark is called a "tick" in some places. Hence the community name [livejournal.com profile] tickybox, where some people (predominantly a group of English people who know one another, it seems to me) post links to polls occasionally.

Seen from some polls, to have a little "tickybox" at the end to give people something to tick :) Especially when most other questions are text entries.

Can also be useful as a rough gauge of how many people have taken the poll, since many people like to tick the tickybox.

I'm guessing we're going for evidence of a bell curve here?

Would be interesting if it turned out like that, yes.

I nearly didn't tick it!
But then did, at the last minute.


PS this was a really mean poll to see first thing when I got to work this morning! (monday mornings!)
