As the most used recognized brand of pen were concluded by the G-TECH winning.
The pen baseline is still not concluded so a question is formed by the main point of finding the
Most Used Pen, not by recognized terms. It is structured by using a choice type question,
meaning only 1 answer from student, to get a concrete evidence and to conclude the baseline
of the pen in the quality table.

As the table suggests, the G-TECH with the tally of 12 students and 37.5% total of
K02 students will be the main baseline for the next questions of the quality of the pen. The score
might be low than to be expected but it is still viable because of previous recognition in the Most
recognized pen table.

VI. Conclusion

With the students of K02 having the most used pen, G-TECH, even though the
concluded most recognized type to be Ballpoint pen because it is so common. The G-TECH
pen provide such intense quality assurance as it averages 3.625 in OVERALL Quality and its
main point of quality is the Customer Satisfaction.

Although the Comfortability comes in next to the customer satisfaction with a little
amount of difference. Overall, the conclusion is that the G-tech pen is the most used brand of
pen in the K02 section.

College students have the tendency to switch into Gel Pens instead of ballpoint pens
because of the comfortability it provides and the sleek design, and after all it gives an adult vibe
on the strokes of the lines it can provide.
