I have often began taking a survey and quit in the middle. Why?
1) It goes on to long. When I told the surveyors that he may get more people quitting for that reason so he should make it shorter he said, rather rudely, that he is an expert on surveys and they need to ask this many questions to calibrate things properly. I tried to engage him in an intelligent conversation about the tradeoff: the longer it is the better the info, but less people fill it out, so what is the optimal point? He told me I was an idiot. Well... that's not going to encourage me to fill out his survey.
2) It asks questions that are too personal.
3) It asks questions that seem irrelevant to me for their purpose (to be fair, perhaps I do not know the real purpose)
4) They ask a really stupid question. Here is the stupidest I've seen:
Challenge: Have you ever seen a stupider question?
As always, I ask non rhetorically.
Neither agree nor disagree
