And this is why every survey I've ever taken has pissed me off and now I don't take them at all. I've never felt that the information gleaned from a survey was honestly useful for making decisions.
- smolder 8y agoThis is typical of political surveys and other surveys where there is a "preferrable" outcome, but I don't think in this case they are trying to get a specific outcome. Maybe feedback can make subsequent surveys better and reduce the ambiguity of results.
- Retra 8y agoIt's typical of all surveys. You either need to go into extensive detail to remove the ambiguity of the questions, or you need to allow people to state what they think in plain language. Taking surveys to gather information is like using record sales to measure what kind of music is best; there are a billion confounding factors and none of them are covered by the abjectly simple metric used.
