Evaluative...whichever the he77 one that is.

Decide which icon you want...and choose the opposite!

lol. It confuses me too. Thankfully I rarely change it.

Which one do you use?

Since none of our braniacs have come up with one, I'll give it a shot. Tell me if this makes sense.

This is based on what is in the box...

Evaluative has an Eye in the box (both start with E)
Partial (Spot) has Part of an eye in the box, not the whole eye - just the lids

Okay, now it gets pretty weak, but if you can remember those two you don't even need to think about this one.

Center Weighted Average has a box in which you Can't Witness Anything. Okay, okay, I said it was weak.

They use similar confusing icons on the S2 as well. It seems like the center weighted and evaluative icons should be swapped...

hmmm....lol

I say just pick the icon opposite to what you think is the one you want!

I'm glad I started this RANT. Many posters questioned how the icons can be remembered. I think the first one, evaluative, is the easiest. Not for the icon, simply because it is on the top and the most likely to be used by most people. As far as the next two go, BEATS ME!.
