SJs, do you like taking surveys? - Page 2

It really depends on the situation.
Situations where I'll do them:
- Feedback for improvements
- Free stuff
- *Survey that uses leading questions to get a certain answer as support for doing certain things or designed to education the general public on a certain viewpoint

Situations where I won't do them:
- Envelope marked urgent
- Marketing survey
- Too long

*opinion accuracy not guaranteed

Surveys are hard because there's no way to ask "What exactly did you mean by this question? Can you be more specific?" This ends up happening with phone surveys, and the telemarketer gets annoyed with me.

I do like taking surveys that help people out, such as Customer Service surveys.

The killing-time surveys are boring to me.

I don't mind doing them. I used to work for a telephone survey company. Not the easiest job for an introvert, but I enjoyed hearing peoples opinions about political issues.

Lol. If the survey is for 'work', i don't pay much attention and just circle the boxes i know they want me to circle.

Online tests though, i do enjoy them. I also like coming up with questions for people to answer. I like (some) people. What can i say.
