Unfortunately I expect this poll to noise itself out of usefulness. for example. person A dislikes spicy and likes sweet. Person B dislikes sweet and likes spicy. this poll will show one vote 1 for sweet, one vote 5 for sweet, one vote 1 for spicy and one vote 5 for spicy.

There would have to be a form that can add another dimension to the results to see any correlation between results. This also limits people's opportunity to comment on what might have caused them to have certain preferences...

The pool provides raw data. It's possible to download that data and see what correlates with what. It just needs a slight bit of R coding.
