Uh..., yes?

Last night I was doing an online survey about the treatment of epilepsy, and this question came up:

"DG" is disqualification and can mean inelgible for military service or from some aspect, such as flying.

Survey designed by monkeys gone amok?

Ms. Donna said...

Ivan is right. "DQ" means disqualification in military speak. I was going to ask you what it mean in your world, Dr. G.

You did not give the answer q2c, and therefore you have met the limit of non-replies. Although I cannot figure out the little boxes. There seems to be seven of them. That's a lucky number. Maybe the moon sill rise in the left quadrant and if you see a shooting star, you can get back in the game.

Ms. D., that's what I meant, of course. "DQ"

You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

I took an online survey once and one of the questions was "How many fatal heart attacks have you had?" Must have been a question inserted to make sure it was really being taken by a human. I answered 3 to see what would happen and was promptly screened out of the survey of course. Still cracked me up since I'd never since such a "stupid" question before.

Eaten by a grue is an unpleasant and gruesome fate. So sorry.

I think most surveys are written by idiots.

I'm signed up with four different survey companies and I regularly get into the situation of having to give a false answer because the survey author didn't think things through properly and supply me with an 'Other' or 'None of the above' option.

I had a real cracker recently. At the start of the survey it checked that I could see an image and hear a sound. That was fine, except when the main survey started none of the images were visible and none of the sounds played.

The surveys that I hate most are the ones that ask you 101 questions and then blow you out after five to ten minutes of wasted effort.

The worst I had asked a whole load of increasingly intimate questions and then disqualified me because I don't suffer with erectile dysfunction. WTF!!!

I love this! After years of working with psychometricians on a nursing certification exam, I've learned the correct answer is probably the last one.

The testing strategy is right off Sesame Street "one of these things is not like the other".

Hope you enjoyed. I'd bet the rest was interesting!
