It's a shame authors like this don't think to delve into the "other" category, because that's where surprising insights can sometimes be buried.
For example, I would really like to know the "other" reasons for providing false answers to security questions. The top reasons are obvious, and a couple of them are my reasons. For privacy, and better security, I would put, say, B7eoaOHv2se as my father's middle name, and store it in a password manager.
My guess is that "other" breaks out into:
- I have one or more of the above reasons but I don't want to reveal it/them.
- I don't have one of the above reasons but I don't want to reveal my reasons.
- I am lazy.
- I like to troll security questions even though I am just trolling a script program on the internet.
- I am trolling your survey.
- I use it as a chance to express my creativity.
- I have never encountered such a question.
- I forget how I answered and why.
These may overlap.
But it would be interesting to see if there are other sensible reasons.
