Not much discussion of the anonymous survey - are these "High Performing Employees" Self selecting?

My gut says quiet spaces are a boon to productivity - but why not prove it instead of a research methodology with holes so large I could drive a truck through them.

Who's going to pay for the research to prove your idea that quiet spaces improve productivity? Especially when all the current consultants are hyping open-offices, which aligns nicely with managers/executives who want to save money on floor space and cubicle furniture so they can get bigger bonuses?

> Self selecting?

Yes, probably. http://bit.ly/high-performance-survey

Though some of those questions might be input as weights/qualifying factors in the results.
