Title: Funny survey questions...
Post by: UGetPaid on January 17, 2018, 08:59:11 am
Things that make you go "hmmmmm..."


I completed a survey earlier today and one of the demographic questions asked me for my "five digit zip code" and then below that it said: "Please be specific"


So how exactly does THAT work?!?   ;D


I understand "please be specific" when a survey asks an open ended question, but you really cannot be vague when giving your zip code!  I suppose I could have been more specific in giving the +4 digits after the zip code, but the question specifically asked for five digits!!!


LOL! What other non-sensical or "well... DUH!" survey questions have you come across?  (Or if you like, explain to me how I could have been un-specific in my response to this question). I think there have been other similar threads like this in the past, but I decided to start a new one rather than seek out an old/abandoned one!

That's funny, I think they want to know very specific where you live

Some zip codes have a four digit number after the five digits to speed up processing, they only want the first five digits.

it says they only want the five digit zip code so how much more specific can you get... I also like when they ask your age and then say not to give you a range... like I wouldn't understand what age means and give them 18-99 for it  lol

some surveys do ask for ages in ranges though like 18-24 or 50-59 versus just 19 or 54

It is funny some of the questions that are asked.  Sometimes I just close the survey out if the questions get too ridiculous or too personal.

I did a survey yesterday and one of the questions it asked me was "when was the last time you carpeted your ceiling"  I guess they wanted to make sure I was paying attention LOL.

A lot of times, I have to guess at what they want and if it ask the same question as if I had not answered, then I just close it out and not do it.

I don't try many surveys, but when I do, I always shake my head at being asked the same question multiple times.  I am guessing it is to weed out those who are not paying attention, but I think I can remember I'm female and wouldn't screw that up.

My absolute favorite question is "Have you ever been involved in an accident that resulted in your death?"

I just got another one earlier this morning on another survey site.  It asked me to pick the item which has the closest relation to a lemon and my choices were: Shoe, Onion, Lime, Car.  I so much wanted to select car, but I decided to pick the answer they wanted.  Good thing I went with my head instead of my heart because it ended up paying out $1.07 for just a five minute survey! And that site doesn't give out penny DQ bonuses either!

Some people believe gender isn't binary (2 options), but that it exist on a spectrum, meaning many possibilities.
