世論 What Japan Thinks

Here’s a little bit of fun from goo Ranking, looking at what actions by young girls bring out their old woman character.

Demographics

Over the 23rd and 24th of August 2010 1,127 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 57.3% of the sample were female, 11.7% in their teens, 16.5% in their twenties, 29.0% in their thirties, 23.2% in their forties, 10.9% in their fifties, and 8.7% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample.

Hopefully they do the male equivalent soon, which of course I will translate as soon as I see it.
