NFL Quarterback Attractiveness Survey Results

I would just like to thank all of you who filled out the NFL Quarterback Attractiveness Survey I posted this last week! Special thanks go out to Diana, D Walt, and Sam Wong for helping me set up and publicize the survey. I ended up with a great amount of people who took the time to fill it out (see below).

Gender	Respondents
Male	10
Female	56
Total	66

The following are some different graphs and basic analyses of the data I collected, all created using Google Charts, which I painstakingly learned for this project. Creating these pretty interactive graphs take forever, so I haven't gotten around to posting more football-related metrics (like plotting attractiveness vs. NFL performance or attractivenss vs. draft position), but I hope to get that done soon! Enjoy.

Here's the first chart with all of the values. Enjoy the interactive chart that I spent the last hour and a half working on:

Below is a table of average rating of each quarterback, from highest to lowest.

Rank	Quarterback	Average Rating

NFL Attractiveness Survey Results - Guys vs Girl Responses

Links

There were significantly more female responses than there were male responses. Even though the male sample size is really too small, I thought it would still be fun to compare the results.

Overall, men rated the quarterbacks significantly lower than the women. Perhaps they were just jealous of the success, wealth, and overall handsomeness of the quarterbacks.

Gender	Respondents	Average Rating
Male	10	4.35
Female	56	4.97
Overall	66	4.87

Below is a chart of the average ratings for each quarterback against the average. As previously mentioned, the guys had a considerable lower average rating than the girls, but as you can see in the chart, there are a few spikes where males rated the quarterbacks significantly differently than the females. As you will notice, it seems like the males tended to rate well-performing quarterbacks much higher and poor-performing quarterbacks lower.

Quarterbacks That Males Rated Much Higher
Quarterback	Female Rating	Male Rating
Matthew Stafford	3.91	4.7
Peyton Manning	4.24	6.2
Colin Kaepernick	5.16	6

Quarterbacks That Males Rated Much Lower
Quarterback	Female Rating	Male Rating
Terrelle Pryor	3.96	2.7
Jake Locker	4.02	3.1
Sam Bradford	4.42	3.1
Brandon Weeden	4.58	3.2
Geno Smith	4.71	3.1
Carson Palmer	5.02	3.2
EJ Manuel	5.62	3.7
Christian Ponder	6.18	4.1
Eli Manning	6.24	4.2

And here's the chart you all came to see:

NFL Attractiveness - Overall Rating Distribution

Links

In this page, I charted the overall voting distribution of all the respondents. As shown in the Men vs. Women post, the overall average rating was 4.87. However, as results came in, I noticed that some surveys were overwhelmingly positive while others were overwhelmingly negative. Below is a collection of charts that attempt to give a sense of how you all rated.

Overall Rating Distribution

Below is a histogram and a pie chart representing the overall frequency of each rating. As you can see, the graph is slightly skewed left, as there were 4 times as many "1" votes (144) as there are "10" votes (35). Not shown in the graph, however, is that over a third (51 out of 144) of the "1" votes were from two surveys that basically voted everyone as a "1" except for the few quarterbacks that they voted "10" for. I probably should remove these two surveys from the pool to make the data a bit more representative, but I've already posted all this stuff, so I wont.

Average Rating Per Respondent

Because I noticed that some responses were overwhelmingly positive and some where overwhelmingly negative, I thought it would be interesting to chart the average ratings per respondent. As you can see, there are four outlier surveys which probably pulled all the averages down significantly.

The following is a pie chart representation of the above histogram, where each red slice indicates an overall unattractive rating (<5) and each blue slice indicates an overall attractive rating (>5). As you can see, it came pretty close, with 47.7% of respondents thinking that NFL quarterbacks are attractive overall, and 52.3% thinking otherwise.
