Pigsback ConfirmIt Survey - Epic Fail
Originally published at Dermot.Canniffe.Org. You can comment here or there.
I understand that they were trying to reduce the amount of variables to one, but really! By presenting all the photos on the one page, it's quite obvious that it's all the same person, and therefore the personality traits will be the same. Rubbish...
It gets worse;
Is that last one not illegal?
Then, on a more personal note, it asks;
And I give the answer "Unemployed/Seeking a Job". To which it responds;
Yeah, thanks for rubbing my nose in it....
EDIT: I sent them a comment; "Um, you may want to look at the most recent survey again - some of the questions are quite offensive, specifically implying that Males derive conclusions such as "One Night Stand" about a woman based on their hair colour. On a purely technical note, it had no hierarchy built into it, so when I said I'm "unemployed/seeking a job" it then asked whether I worked in the Public or Private Sector. To which the unoffered answer is "Neither". :( You can see more info on my blog;
And they replied; Dear stabarinde, I would like to respond to your comments on the recent survey we sent to you. The survey questions were not intended, or thought, to cause offence to any of our members so please accept our unreserved apologies for any upset caused. Suffice to say all comments and feedback relating to our surveys are reviewed by Pigsback.com and a report of same is provided to any relevant partners. The issue of the unavailable answer choice has also been rectified for future surveys. Kind Regards, Member Services Pigsback.com
Kind of a non-answer really. Sorry, but not-sorry.
