Results cont.
I have mentioned there is an unequal distribution of wealth between males and females. However, the scope of this problem is not quite realized until one graphs the various membership percentages in each Rank Group against each other, as in Figure 3.

Figure 3

One can clearly see here that females make up the majority until the Top 100 pictures; in the Upper Classes and more than half of the measured Proletariat, females have an unmistakable majority of numbers. These numbers are shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4

Figure 4 illustrates the same relationship; for the first 9 rank groups, girls hold a clear majority in terms of numbers. Figure 5 shows the exact percent-variation in each Rank Group.

Conclusions
1. The number of views vs. a picture’s rank on the ChiefDelphi “Who Am I” gallery results in a logarithmic function, or a minority of the pictures hold the majority of the views (and ChiedDelphi readers’ attention).
2. Through the graph in Figure 1, it is seen that there is a clear distinction between the Upper Classes and the Lower Classes, as shown in Figure 2.
3. The Upper Classes are dominated by pictures of female subjects.
4. With an average of 706.6 views per girl compared to an average of 547 views per boy, ChiefDelhpi readers prefer females 13% more than males.
5. Female majority in terms of number of views continues for more than the Top 90 pictures
6. We must unite and work as one if we are ever to overthrow our female oppressors!
7. Excel’s Functions feature rocks if you have lots of numbers to crunch but don’t feel like spending ten hours doing it by hand.
8. Studying for who-knows-how-many tests/finals/SATs/etc. sure burns a guy out (see Secondary Title).
9. You’re crazy if you expect to get anything meaningful out of this analysis.

Shortcomings
There are several shortcomings to this report which should be considered in future updates. The first and foremost is the range of pictures chosen; due to constraints set by my attention span, after the 127th picture (which coincidentally, was my own), I became tired of copying the information by hand and decided I had enough. In the future, a ‘bot’ program that automatically collects information about a picture would greatly increase number of pictures that can be included in a data set and speed the process significantly, as well as make it less prone to human error.
Additionally, for a variety of reasons (i.e. the amount of labor required to manually enter it), the age of pictures was not taken into account. Future studies may wish to include a ‘Calculated Wealth,’ perhaps a ratio of number of views to age; rather than be sorted by the raw number of views, it would be interesting to gauge a picture’s wealth based on the number of views it received per time span.
