have you noticed this

Most days I don't even try to qualify for surveys because it is hard for me to qualify.  I hardly ever meet the criteria although a week or two ago I got on a good roll and qualified and finished a couple of surveys. 

[blondie71]

The Surveys are for certain items or whatever, so they need race, gender, age and things like this because they are put in groups and if that have enough in a particular group they you are disqualified.  Maybe you group was complete so they didn't need your response.

I'm pretty new at this but I think the reason we may be disqualified so quickly is because the quota for those items are full.  At least that's what I like to believe.

different raaced view the world differently, so i don't think its wrong to want a survey that has insight from all races

[pressman]

the only  ones that I seem to quaalify for lately on fc are the videos, but they are faar and few between

[jmccaskill]

notice that one gets DQ'd immediately on many FC surveys of late... grrrrrrrrrr

I took a survey once where right when I clicked to open it, it said I didn't qualify. -_-

I see this happening on other survey sites too but I don't think it's discrimination. I think they should be a little more considerate of our time instead of having us to spend 30 minutes for nothing.

I do not feel that it is biased at all.  They do have to cover all demographics for race, region, etc to see a variety or a consensus of opinion.  I do feel for you and know very well what irritating little creatures surveys can be at times, but the payoff is well worth it.  Good luck and keep trying.

[tuyetmai]

I don't think so.  They looking for certain group of people for the surveys, so if they ask and you not fit in the group they will not let you take it.  Keep trying, you will find one. I haven't find anything yet but I'll keep trying.

It annoyed me to great ends in Global Test Market back in 4-5 years....Gone through many initial survey disqualification... I don't care that if I am not getting any surveys since they need a certain race, age, education, income, etc but I get so pissed at GTM for not doing a better job filter it out especially when they do a pretty lengthy profiling

[mardukblood2009]

When I do surveys, I just plan on getting a penny unless I know it is the ad survey. I think I only ever qualify for maybe 1 out of 15 of everyone I do.

[LenoraMinogue]

I admit it's super frustrating to qualify for surveys. A lot of them will disqualify you. But it's not really discrimination. They have to fill certain quotas for their survey.

[plennis]

I wish they would ask the questions that determine if you can go on or not right at the very beginning.   I hate to think I am doing a survey for several minutes and then get disqualified.   Even though I don't qualify for a lot of the surveys, I start them anyway to get the one cent for trying.

I don't feel like it's discrimination, I mean, they very well could have all the responses from your race already and are looking to get a varied amount of responses from different races.  It's just how research is done.  Even if they were only looking for information from one specific race, I don't see it as discrimination, it's just that is the purpose of their research.  It would be like saying they are discriminating against men when they want to survey women on some specific issues, or even only want moms opinions on something.
