Yeah I've learned that the time limit doesn't matter or hold true.  I still stick with the ones that say less time.

I usually choose for time in proportion with the money  For instance, I won't do  2 cents for  20 minutes

I go for the most amount of money with the shortest time.

If I try for one it is usual the amount of time, the least and sometimes its work out to the amount of time I have at that time.

I don't even look at the time since it is usually not any where close to correct.  I done one the other day and it said 3 minutes.  I spent more than 3 minutes trying to see if I qualified for the survey.  In the end I did and the survey took 30 minutes.  Ended up being a really interesting topic and paid decent.

Yes, I have to agree with you, tjshorty. I definitely go for the amount of time. I don't have a lot of patience for the overly long surveys, which sometimes even disqualify you after 20 minutes. That really gets my goat, LOL! The best surveys, of course, are those that are super short that pay very well, which are very few and far between.  :peace:

I will say both because sometimes the survey is not all that long if it is not a high paying survey. But I just do what I can and see what I can get.

Usually, if it's interesting or the shortest survey. I'm impatient & refuse to do an hour survey only to get a penny for my effort!

You can't always go by the time.  Some are shorter than the time given.

I usually choose surveys with higher incentives and lower times. Emphasis on the amount.  :moneymouth:
Opinion: 1) a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter 2) belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge
This is the internet, learn to let people have opinions. And don't be so sensitive.  8)

You can't always decide on the time because they are never the same.  At the beginning of the survey they say it's going to take 35 minutes to complete the survey, then as you go a little further by answering some questions, it decreases to 15 minutes.

I think it's interesting that so many people in this thread say that they don't pay attention to either.  I agree that the times rarely match what is stated, but I still pay most attention to the surveys that state the least amount of time.  I usually start with the shortest surveys first.  Then if I have time to spare, and my brain is still working, I go for the longer ones. Lately, though, if I see a big paying survey on Tap Research, I'm likely to try that one first, because in my experience, the bigger the reward, the bigger the DQ!
