nope, there are a lot of really short ones.  some are 15 minutes long. I believe i've finished a coupel that were around 5 minutes.  but then again, it depends on how much of the page you are reading.

The "register" type free surveys tend to last for 15-30 min for me.

The actual surveys that question your opinion over products/services seem to last for 10 min
to over an hour, depending on company and survey.

Thankfully some of them are enjoyable (like the virtual shopping trip for toilet paper, ha)
but others yes, are a bit time consuming when they loop over and over with repetitive ads.

Still, we could be doing worse for less, so shouldn't complain much.  ;D

If you go threw it really fast it's way quicker. They just estimate the time on people who actually do the surveys and read it all and everything.

Sometimes things take longer. I've had surveys that literally took only a minute or two. I've done "focus groups" that DO take an hour.

I have all the time in the world, so it is no big deal to me.

You have to decide what YOUR time is worth.

If I found a survey that took an hour and guaranteed $1 for finishing, I would do it in a heartbeat. It's not the dollar, it's getting $15 so I can cash out all my bonus money.

An hour sounds a little long. 15-45 minutes seems to be the range of the ones I've taken. The estimates are just that. Many of these are adaptive and the questions change based on your answers.

I did a survey last night that took over an hour. I kept thinking the last question would be the last but more kept coming and coming. I guess it just depends on what survey or what kind of survey you take.
