In part 2 of the poll's review we will have a look at the preferences that men and women have when they collect old bonds and shares. Do men and women show different preferences, or are these rather similar ?

In
part 1 you could read that 36 persons, including 33 men and 3 women, have answered more than twenty questions. Ten questions queried the participants about their preferences. The following five preferences were compared in pairs :
- Scarcity
- Beauty
- A Good Bargain
- Collection Completeness
- Historical Significance
This resulted into ten possible combinations : scarcity-beauty, scarcity-a good bargain, et cetera . For each combination the participant was asked to choose between one of both, in other words which one he preferred. Let us no longer beat around the bush and have a quick look at their answers.
Scarcity versus Beauty
If you had to choose between
Scarcity or
Beauty, what would you choose ? Apparently the men prefer
Scarcity above
Beauty. Two of our three female participants prefer
Beauty. But with a difference of only one female vote, on a total of three, it is not obvious to decide that the women in general prefer
Beauty over
Scarcity. So no clear conclusion can be made that applies to both genders.

Beauty versus A Good Bargain
If you are looking for a good bargain, then you will make a better investment. At least that is what you think. Results :
- men : Needless to say, this is a difficult choice. Men equally prefer both.
- women : There is no clear outcome; two of our three female participants prefer Beauty, unfortunately the number of participants is too small to decide that Beauty is preferred over A Good Bargain.
Collection Completeness versus Beauty
Not much doubt here, men mostly prefer
Collection Completeness over
Beauty. No clear and unambiguous outcome here as well for the women.
