What is your least favorite survey type?

[surveypro2016]

Mine is financial. I detest taking financial surveys. But, there seems to be more of them than anything else most days. I would much rather take a survey about food, restaurants, clothing, etc.

My least favorite type is healthcare. They always start out with these huge lists of health problems you could have and after you take the 5 -10 minutes required to select out the ones you have, the surveys usually lead to disqualitifaction anyway.

My ABSOLUTE least favorite type are the ones that DQ after several minutes of good and time consuming answers!  But in the spirit of the question, I think I echo the first two responses: financial and healthcare topics tend to be the most time consuming and repetitive.  Most banks or credit card companies that I do not have accounts with really are all the same to me, but with most surveys, if you click the same buttons or checkboxes over and over on those large grid page questions, you will likely get flagged for not giving well thought responses.


But to get back to my initial point, if they end up paying at the end of the survey, then it was a good survey.

I don't like the really super long surveys that say they are one thing, then ask a whole bunch of unrelated questions. Like if I get a survey for Pets, I don't want to answer a whole bunch of questions about the election, which I have had several do this! I do complete them, but most of the time I get a DQ. I am thinking when I get these, what the heck does this have to do with Pets? Or whatever it is it SHOULD have been! They say they supposed to also only take about 10 minutes, but because of the other questions, they take 20-30!

I know a lot of people like them, but I'm not overly fond of the ones that have the huge, memory hogging plug-in that simulates a grocery shopping experience.  I have an older laptop, and more often than not, it freezes up just as the survey is getting started.

Even if I'm doing one of those surveys on my desktop which has more memory, I find the whole experience of 'walking' up and down an aisle and selecting an item from the shelf takes twice as long as just presenting me with a list of options and letting me chose from them.

I hate phone company, insurance, healthcare, financial and political surveys. Anything other than those, I'm okay with.

I do enjoy, the food and vacations. I like the short to the point question, not to see if you are a bot. I like the longer surveys that pay a bit more, it all adds up. I get excited when I can do the get involved ones, they pay more.

My, many of you are echoing my thoughts exactly.  I am tired of financial and healthcare surveys.  I guess I'm not sick enough nor do I have enough outstanding loans or large enough investable assets.  However, I really do not like the virtual shopping experiences although I think they have been working on them to make them easier to operate.  I actually completed the last one.  However, before that I was so sick of the awkwardness of these type surveys that I exited out of about 3 or 4.
Overall, my MOST detestable surveys are the ones that don't credit for one reason or other after you have put in the time and effort.  Closely following this are the ones that go on and on asking the same question in one form or another unendingly and then pay you about 30 cents.

the ones i hate are the ones that are for shopping..they want you to remember what you spent on certain days and what you bought and such...and a lot of healthcare tat asks questions about your health...you spend 20 minutes or so answering questions then they tell you that you're not qualified..should be some sort of incentive just getting that far..

I don't have a  favorite type.  I hate surveys because so many times you are cheated out of being paid.  That is not fair.  But then I keep forgetting that life is not fair.

I do not like the ones where you are doing virtual shopping, I spend so time trying to zoom in and out and it is hard  to find items which they sometimes want you to do.

The ones I complete and then do not get paid for.

I am with you on the DQ surveys too. Probably once a day I get a survey and spend about 5 minutes on it THEN it DQ's me! Sometimes, it will say "saving your answers". HEY! You DQ'd me. You don't get my answers lol
I am set to do an online chat through a different survey site tonight. $15.00 for 30 minutes. Those I like!

I hate the grocery shopping surveys that you a viral tour of a market and have you find and put certain items in your cart.I have trouble finding what I want and can't complete the survey. Fortunately I haven't seen those in a while.

[amyDAST]

Any one that disqualifies me right after I am done taking the survey and to the classification part.
