Without disclosing any details of the survey (which might violate TOS) are you able to objectively confirm that it was, in fact, a "fun" survey as opposed to one that was tedious or boring?

It was long and tedious, not really boring so I would have to say not fun but hey I did get a $1.60 and that was much better than some I did for 20 cents for the same amount of effort. It is always an adventure here at FC.

The "fun" part comes when you see that $1.60 showing up in your earnings' account!  The subject material definitely helps when they are long and tedious.  You can't really count on getting the compensation at the end as expected, so the carrot dangling in front of the mule concept here doesn't apply.  In other words, if I were working on a survey that was supposed to pay $1.60, I would be in "I'll believe it when I see it" mode.  I just spent several minutes on a fairly interesting survey that got to the end after answering many (tedious) questions, only to learn that I was disqualified.

Fun is as fun does.    It's all a matter of personal opinion.  Sometimes marketers are a little presumptuous by saying that a questionnaire is fun or interesting.  I usually ignore all of that and get down to business of working the survey.
Speaking of opinions, it would be neat if the marketer added one last question at the end of the regular survey: 'In you opinion, was this survey fun?'  Either way you answer will not affect the rest of your survey AND you get an additional 50 cents for your response.  Now that would be a fun survey.

That WOULD make it more fun for me, that's for sure.
Your comment reminded me of another old thread (which I may have been the one who started it or else hijacked it like I am doing now).  I think every survey should have an option for open ended comments at the end where we can point out survey glitches or qualify an earlier answer or protest unfair/limited answer multi-choice questions, etc.


I have come across more than a few recently where they limited me to multiple choices - none of which applied to me and no option to select <OTHER> or <NONE OF THE ABOVE>.  One survey just presumed that I worked in the plumbing or some other contracting field -- without ever asking me the preliminary general question of how I earn a living.  After giving a few 'false' responses (because I had no other option to advance the survey) I ended up just closing it out. It would have been nice to have the option to select <I AM NOT A PLUMBER> and get my penny DQ...  But oh well.


It reminds me also of the forum question: Have you ever lied on a survey?  How are you supposed to answer a multiple choice question asking how long you've been a plumber when you aren't one, didn't say that you were, and offers no answer options which are not 'lies'?


I suppose the 'truthful' way to handle it is to do what I did and just close out the incomplete survey.

I find that the name of the survey very rarely correlates to what the survey is actually about. But yes, it's fun to see $1.60!
