Worktrotter is running a survey to get an insight on how open you perceive Danes towards foreigners living in Denmark.

Click here to take the survey.

Thanks for your participation. Ask your friends to participate as well. The more the better.

The results will be published here end June.

Thanks,

With the results of the survey having been released, I want to make a comment on the methodology of this survey.

First, thank you Dagmar for attempting to assess the feelings of the foreigner community in Denmark. It's not an easy task and I think this survey cast a much wider net than most internet surveys.

But with that said, we should be careful about drawing conclusions from the survey. This survey clearly suggests that larger, more funded organizations need to take a look at Denmark's foreigner community. But beyond that, exact conclusions about openness are unwarranted due to a number of bias issues in the survey.

Note that I none of what I am saying here is because I take issue with the results of the survey. I am just trying to point out that a more rigorous survey approach is needed to ensure the the true feelings of foreigners in Denmark are measured.

Here are some of the various biases this survey has, among many:

1. Only surveying internet users, and at that mainly those who go to particular websites (or are friends with those who go to those websites)
2. Survey users all spoke English.
3. The survey participants were mostly from the US, UK and India, but that does not reflect the distribution of nationalities in the wider ex-pat community in Denmark.


A statistically valid survey should compare the proportions of the people it surveys with the general population being surveyed to check to see if they match. For example, does this survey have the correct proportion of americans, indians, germans, swedes, etc surveyed? Also, is the gender split of the survey the same as the general foreigner population?
