Do you answer surveys truthfully?

[crazychicken]

If you were randomly selected to fill out an anonymous survey at your college with questions to the effect of:

On average, how many drinks do you have per week?
Have you ever had unprotected sex as a result of the influence of alcohol?
Have you ever let alcohol affect your academics?

Would you answer the questions truthfully? I am conducting a study like this and I am wondering if the results are to be believed.

Thanks!

Is this a trick?

If you let the students fold it up and put it in a box themselves I think you would get more honest results. Also, don't ask students in a group cause a lot of them will lie because they think it's funny.

Or a social experiment?
I'm trying to figure out how I want to answer

Would you answer an anonymous survey about sex and alcohol truthfully?

100% of the time.

If you aren't going to answer truthfully, why even take the survey?

Do you just want to fuck up the results?

Sure why not? Except class instructor surveys, I think those are the only ones I take seriously.

I don't know how to answer this... It's a paradox, I am trapped!

 

[crazychicken]

Ok ok, enough with "should I lie right now on this survey"! haha

Assume you are not really given a choice to decline to take the survey.

Because I'm not an asshole?

Unless it is a survey being done by the KKK or some other group you hate, I don't want you would want to waste someone else time and money for pure, ill-earned enjoyment.

Did you know lying on a survey about sex while in school might lead to an unwanted teen pregnancy?

Oh, in that case, screw honestly. I'm a black female midget with a net income of 20 billion Filipino pisos, and yes, I had unprotected sex as a result of alcohol, got pregnant, and still drink 10 drinks per week.

I try not to let alcohol effect my academics though.

Nice topic name versus poll question...

"Do you lie on surveys?"

Turns out the poll question is worded the opposite.

So I selected "Usually not" but for your actual poll question I'd be honest.

 

[crazychicken]

haha duragezic - I really botched that one - but you're the first to notice!

 

[Jumpem]

On average, how many drinks do you have per week? 0
Have you ever had unprotected sex as a result of the influence of alcohol? No.
Have you ever let alcohol affect your academics? No.

If I can't be truthful I would not bother doing them.

That's true. I'm teen pregnant right now because of that.
