Sloppy surveys

[1imaginarygirl]

I'm 41 years old, and I got this question on a survey:
What is your age?
Please select one answer
   Under 18 years
   18 - 24 years
   25 - 34 years
   45 - 54 years
   55 - 64 years
   65 years old or above
How am I supposed to answer this? And yet, I got permanently banned from a different survey site because I had a "high number of inaccuracies". Well if you can't construct a simple question accurately, how am I supposed to answer accurately?

I do not know how you can have inaccurate answers when there are no right or wrong answers.  I have started taking pictures of some of the stupid questions like this.  I had one not long ago that said which of the following items have you purchased:
 -Once a week
 - Once a month
 - Once a year
 - Less often

I am like WHAT?  I could either just pick one or X out.  I picked one and eventually still got kicked out.  I have started threads about this before.  You want honest reliable info from the survey taker but you ask questions that make no sense and are full of misspelled words.

I'm baffled .  And there's no "Other" choice either.  I agree.  If you're going ask a multiple choice question, at least include the right answer.

I seem to get questions like that a lot from Peanut Labs. I had one that asked what brand of car I drive and all the choices were different million dollar price ranges, not one car brand listed. Like you, I just picked whatever and continued on. But apparently I should X out, because I got banned for wrong answers.

They need to have a feedback button on every survey, so you can send screenshots back to them and ask how you're supposed to complete their poorly constructed surveys.

Apparently they weren't interested in the opinions of 35-44 year olds.

I agree with the feedback.  Tap surveys has that sometimes. Sometimes though it won't allow you to give feedback.  Idk why.  I still do not understand how you can get banned for giving wrong answers to a no right or wrong answer questionnaire.  Some of their trick questions meant to trap you are not correct either.  I answered one CORRECTLY even though it said I was wrong.

lol Maybe that was it.

Geez that's a good one. I had one that stated how many people do you employ in your company. I never said I had a company. I did not know how to answer it. My not having a company was not an option.

[bshee58]

Yeah, I see no 34-44 age range, how can you miss that age range.

It doesn't mean you OWN the company unless it says that.  How many people are employed at the company you work for.

I'd bail out  on that if it was my age !

I just had this problem, today, with a Tap survey.  They were asking income and didn't have anything for under $100,000.  If we had an income of higher than $100,000, I would probably not be doing surveys in the first place!

When I get a question like that on a survey I just end the survey because there is no way to be accurate.

I have seen stuff like that before.  There is one about illnesses and you can pick from one of about 6 types of cancer or ALL of the above.  I chose that one because I figured it was suppose to be NONE of the above and the person typing it is too stupid to type it correctly.  If you really pay attention the surveys are FULL of mistakes, misspelled words, bad grammar, you name it.  I wonder if they are typed by grade school kids for extra credit. lol

Either way I was terminated. They are looking for a specific illness.  It tells you that to start with.

I get that question a 100 times a day. Every once in a while I get kicked out because they want someone of a different age but 98 percent of the time, there is no problem.
