... i'm guessing that they like obvious questions
Man, I wish my exams had questions like that. School would be a breeze!
I just KNOW you voted for the side-effect profile, right? Isn't it great when the market survey questions are soo leading a monkey could pick the desired answer? I do them for drug-name research and some of the questions can be like that!! Too funny!!
This must be the question to test if you're actually reading the questions.
So...what did you pick?
>:p
I do so hate 'read my mind' questions.
I guess it depends on the patient.
Dang! That's a tough one!
Well now they can spin the data and say that the drug is approved and recommended by neurologists! As one of my pharmacy professors said long time ago: 'If you torture the data enough, it will confess to anything."
Pharmacist in the middle of nowhere.
::head:desk:: It's ones like these where you pray they will have a comments section!! I swear sometimes I want to kill survey writers.
*only a year in Experimental Psych but...
Obvious question is obvious. At least they make filling in the questionnaire faster, which improves the $/hour rate you get from them.
It would be fun to question the person designing these questions and examine their thought process -- that is, what are they looking for. Can't imagine how that question would be helpful to them.
A real live question on a DMV test in the state in which I live.
When feeling angry or upset, what should you do?
a. Go for a drive.
b. Have a beer and go for a drive.
c. Don't drive until you are calm.
In my opinion, even if they aced all the questions except for this one, they should be denied a driver's license.
a.
My mom had Alzheimers and suspected Parkinson’s. Her arms would shake like an earthquake ....unless she was painting her own fingernails or swiping meds from relatives’ bathrooms.
Then., for some reason she was totally able to control the trembling. Go figure.
Maybe they're writing them for first-year residents who just got off of a 24-hour call? This is the only thing that I can really thing is what's going on.
