Amusing survey questions
« on: December 02, 2018, 06:14:19 am »
I just love those surveys that start out with a list of things you have done in the last month like  *buy a submarine, *go skydiving -- I always get a chuckle wondering if anyone checks those!

The other question that always makes me laugh is right after I give my age (63) the question "are you pregnant?"  I realize the survey doesn't recognize my age before giving the next question, but I always grin and (if I'm feeling particularly playful) want to answer yes just to see what would happen next.  I value my cents too much to risk not getting them buy intentionally giving a wrong answer though!  :)

I ponder my answer to the question asking if I have Hispanic Origin, because actually my great-great-grandmother was from Mexico, but the percentage is so low I just answer No (or mark white) and by this time I always stick with what I have answered in the past (even though I wonder what might have been different if I would have always answered Yes..

Sometimes a survey asks have you ridden on a flying carpet?   or have you taken a train to mars? LOL

Yeah I like those questions that make sure you are paying attention. my favorite one is, have you ever been in an accident that resulted in your death?

That's interesting, Oldbuddy.  I my great-grandfather on my dad's side was part Potowatami Indian -- I sometimes wonder if I should answer part Native Americanm -- I never do, but I, too, wonder if the results would be different if I did.

Yeah, I had one today that asked me if I had any Health Issues like Heartburn, I said NO TO ALL, and the very next questions said"You said Yes to Heartburn, now we have questions regarding Medication", LOL well I answered the best I could even though I do not use those

I think that they ask those questions just to make sure you are Human and not a Robot. They are some pretty bizzare questions.

I literally just got a survey like that. First it asked if I ever watch CNBC. I said 'never'. I don't think I even have that channel. Then it asked which of these 6 tv shows on CNBC I have ever watched. I said 'none of the above'. Then the next question says 'You said you've watched XXXX (I don't remember what the show was). How many episodes have you watched?' Ugh, there is no zero option, so I picked one (closest number to zero?). Of course I got DQd after that, but who writes these surveys?!

Those attention test questions are always kinda amusing to read. I have been asked if my diet is completely plastic, if I have had tea with the queen of England in the last week, among others.
