oldchap Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Had invite for survey (one of the Cint companies). In the preamble there was a warning that I must spend 10 - 15 seconds on each question. If rushed I would be disqualified. First question, “Are you male, female etc”. Now how long would it take you to answer that? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say if you're not male or female they shouldn't want your survey answers if your that confused! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 I've only been out this survey business for about two years but I have learned a few things. After awhile you learn which surveys and survey providers will waste your time, also those that will let you take a good portion of the survey then kick you out. I have a little bulletin board above my desk, on it are the survey companies that I have had consistent bad experiences with. When I run into one of those I just X out. Another thing that has helped me is to stay away from surveys that don't tell you how long they are. Even then some will lie to you and the survey ends up being twice or three times longer than advertised. Again, after a while you learn to spot these dishonest surveys and stay away from. My approach on any given day is to get through as many surveys as it takes to get to my daily goal. I don't let myself get bogged on one of those long boring surveys that may last 35, 45 minutes or even longer. Not when I know I can find another survey that is much shorter and a less than half the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnleona Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I also had a good laugh. I wonder how long they think it would take to answer some of these simple questions. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
