Default Picklist Value Not respected

I have a few picklist fields for which I've chosen a default value but when creating a new record of that type the default value is not selected, the None is.

The field is visible and required. The picklist option is available for the record type.

Any suggestions why my choice for a default is not being respected? Thanks.

Are you using record types? If yes, you should check the picklists in the record type section (e.g. Opportunities - Record Types - then select the Record type). You can specify different default values for each record type.

JasonGabler, what you could do is add a new item in the picklist "Please Select" and make it default, then add a validation rule, something like
ISPICKVAL( Type , "Please Select")
that should do the trick
