Or, maybe, they’re good at it and capitalists.
Did they get paid for the survey? If so, finishing it rapidly increases $/hour, unless they got paid more for answers that are closer to reality (in which case only spending time thinking about answers you think you have a good grasp of, and giving up on others, may be the best strategy)
The entry method also may affect results (but not by these margins). If you’re being interviewed, saying “3%” or “20%” are about equal effort and it’s easy to do so with one percent increments, but if you have to drag a scroll bar, “somewhere around 1 in 30 but not zero”, if answered a bit sloppily/hastily (say because that “five minutes of your time” was a bit more, or turned out to be duller than you thought), may easily end up at 10%.
- bell-cot 3y agoActually maximizing $/hour would mean paying minimal attention to the questions, and giving repetitive answers - "1%, 1%, 1%, 1%, ..." or similar. In current-day America, a more plausible reason for malicious answers would be the culture wars - many respondents might want to bias the survey results, to somehow favor their own "side".
