A note on methodology: typically in experimental surveys you don’t want to prime your subjects with words or phrasing that could lead to positive or negative bias.

Additionally, negatively-biased phrasing on a public survey could also attract mostly those with negative views. This would skew your sample even further than solely priming.

With that said, I have no idea what any of those icons are.

I would guess text labels with services' names are supposed to be part of those icons

I agree with both points.

I think the whole quiz is a joke, to prove a point.

I may have heard of map reduce, but I have no idea what EMR is; turns out its map reduce (not sure what the E is for).

In that case, what point is there in having a non-descript icon? Just select a nice font and turn the text itself into a logo...

For most AWS stuff, "E" stands for "Elastic".
