[IPAC-List] Commonly accepted survey scale descriptors?

[Joel Wiesen]

Thanks to those who sent comments off-line.  It seems no one has seen 
such a set of descriptors.

FWIW, this is what I came up with:

100%	All 	
95% - 99%		Almost all 	
85-94%	Vast majority 	
75-84%	Solid majority 	
65-74%	Majority 	
55-64%	More than half 	
45-54%	About half 	
35-44	Less than half	
25-34	More than a quarter	
15-24	Less than a quarter	
5-15% 	A few	
1-4%	Almost none	
0%	None
