The Secret Minx List 2009 - was compiled through an independent survey of 2,000 UK women via onepoll.com in March 2009, with voters asked to take “minxy” to mean cheeky, fun, confident and sexy. “Minxy Rating” Methodology - voters were asked to highlight which female celebrities, known for their talent and professionalism rather than appearance, they believed to be the minxiest, and rate this minxiness out of five. These results were combined to create the mean average rating, which was calculated into a percentage to give them their Minxy Rating. Conventional Minx List - Voters were then asked to rate the minxiness of a series of female celebrities better known for their appearance, to provide a balance to the Secret Minx List. The same method as above was used to calculate their Minxy Rating.
