The survey is long enough.that I’m unlikely to put genuine thought into each of the questions. If none of the answers us closer enough, I’m likely to skip the question. I’m likely to pick numbers it off thin air on any questions asking for a probability. I’m unlikely to actually dig up my SAT scores etc and will guess from memory. I will probably skip half of the bonus questions that Seth uninteresting because there are so many of them.
There are probably other people who are willing to run through the survey to help out but will spend a fixed and not too large amount of time on it. This is likely to introduce some bias and inaccuracy of answers given its current size. Just noting this as a set of trade offs to keep in mind.
I was wondering (though this might be missing the point) about some options if you don’t want to answer a question.
The options don’t cover what I believe is true. I don’t know. it’s more work than I want to put in to figure out an answer. I’m getting tired of the survey.
Good suggestion—having these options world be nice, but they would visually bloat the survey if added to every question, making it harder to scroll down. Not sure that would be a huge problem, though, given the length already.
