Male. White. 25-34. Professional.
I have decided that I have nothing new to offer the world of online surveys. I stumbled into taking one tonight while eating dinner, just because I had nothing better to do. While going through it I realized how middle of the road I am.
Male. White. 25-34. Professional.
The only area in which I reckon I stand out is the number of hours a week I spend online - "over 20," in this survey. Great.
There wasn't a single question which I could answer in the extreme or that was in any way outside of their predetermined norms.
The low-light of the survey came when it presented me with a list of standard activities (bought a CD, seen a movie in a theater, gone to an amusement park, etc.) and asked if I had done any of them in the last month. I could only pick the bottom rung - "none." Ugh.
If only it had asked how many cigarettes I had smoked or milligrams of caffeine I had consumed or miles driven or something.
So, maybe it wasn't me after all. Maybe it was the survey that was boring. I can only hope.
