Crazy questions they ask us

Here is another one I find funny  - What is your exact age at the time you are doing this survey?It's not like they are going to have this survey around for months at a time,or is it?

I'm mean I do realize this is a 60 minute survey ,but really?Well wait give me a minute ,I'll be a year older in 30 seconds.Or maybe I will be a year older halfway thru this survey.I'm not exactly sure why they have to word it that way.

Well now many surveys are trying to get you committed to answering honestly by asking if you are going to be honest. Seriously, who's going to say otherwise?

I wonder what would happen if you click the answer  "I can't say either way".

That's for people that like using 1/2 years like 1 1/2 or 2 1/2. I guess it messes with their computers if you do that.

The survey companies are now all adding quality checks that serve 2 purposes:

  1. Verify you are a human respondent - there are people out there that use robo-form applications that emulate human responses to fill out forms quickly.  These provide bad-quality data to the client, so they want to weed those out.
  2. Quality checks - if you are a human, the quality checks make sure you are paying attention.  If you answer those wrong, they will either disqualify you, or throw your data out later

The one I like... and it's kind of like the "at the time you are taking this survey" is "what is your exact age in years?"   I generally don't give my age is months or days.  :-)

I took a survey that warned me about the sensitive nature of the questions but WOWWWWWWW did they blow my mind with the sensitive nature of those questions. I was left a little disturbed after it, lol. Like, WHY are you asking these questions and what the HECK are you all researching!
