We're always thinqin and posting some of our thoughts and perspectives on
a variety of topics on research and in the news.



Insights Professionals Don’t Have a Data Problem. They Have a Continuity Problem.
Insights teams generate more research than ever, but too much understanding still resets between projects. Surveys, interviews, social, secondary research, internal docs… each live in its own system, analyzed in isolation, rarely connected over time. The result isn’t a lack of data. It’s a lack of continuity. Meaningful exists to change that. By unifying research inputs into a single intelligence system where insight can be preserved, connected, and continuously built ou

🎉New Year’s resolution? Have we resolved not to have any 🤔?
Just when we were about to give up on the idea of a New Year’s resolution, we came across an interesting interview with professor and podcaster, Suzanne Joy Clark. Clark has come up with a different approach to the (often failed) New Year’s resolution that puts focus on a word rather than an action. She gave an example of getting fit. Instead of resolving to join a gym, consider focusing on the word “vitality” and see where that takes you. This inspired us to try . thinqinsig

Just for Kicks We Wrote a Poem for 2026
2025 is coming to a close A year that saw some highs and lows. But we persevered, shall we say With lessons learned along the way. We stumbled, laughed, grew wiser too Found new paths we never knew.

So here’s to a year of doing our best Of growth over grind, and time to rest. For 2026 will be the finest A year to give and receive kindness. From

How do Americans Really Feel About Getting Older? It Depends on Gender and Life Stage
Our latest thinqin&askin poll of adults 18+ shows a clear pattern: men are far more likely than women to feel good about getting older. But the gap isn’t constant across life. In early adulthood and midlife, the divide is stark. Men are much more likely than women to feel positive about aging, with the widest gaps among those <25 and 45–54. These are the years when women often face the heaviest mix of pressures like career building, caregiving, appearance standards, and workp

Were the 1990s really da bomb…fire…and other combustibles?💣🔥
According to our latest survey, the 1990’s were what they used to say in the day, “da bomb”. And while Gen Z may not know what that means (think “fire” Gen Z), most in this generation say the decade or year they would most want to live in is the 1990’s. Shout out too goes to the early 2000s for Gen Z. Same is true for Millennials with the 90s and early 2000s coming in strong as the decade/year they'd most want to live in. Gen X lean strongly towards the 80s but have nostalg

Many rely on legacy survey platforms but struggle with survey fatigue, technical glitches, and a lack of nuanced feedback. Employees often feel unheard, as “one-size-fits-all” surveys flatten diverse voices into averages, masking critical dissent and undermining authentic culture change. What if a platform could chang
