An Eigenpoll is a type of statistical survey which gathers knowledge from the community. It differs from opinion polls by finding the best solution, rather than finding the most popular opinion.

[edit] History of Eigenpolls
Knud Haugaard Sørensen is attributed to the eigenpoll.
[edit] Methodology
The idea behind the eigenpoll is to let voters compare and rank options. If the option is not present, respondents may add their own. Through a series of selections, a score and rank is computed. These results are continually updated as the polling progresses.
[edit] Potential for inaccuracy
The results may be affected by response bias, where the answers given may not truly reflect the opinion or beliefs of respondents.
