Do all market research companies (which use the Internet)
presume their respondents are idiots? Or are the research
companies themselves all staffed by idiots?
I have often wondered at the IQ of those involved in making
up the questions. Especially those which conclude by saying:
you may now close your browser. Even if that was a likely
prospect, have they never heard of tabs? As in tabbed web
browsers?
Perhaps (caveat: cynicism here) the survey companies frame
their questions to get the responses that they think their client
might like? That way - at least the client might well be happier
paying their bill.
So, PT forumites, how much (if at all) are you influenced by
advertising BS seemingly aimed at the terminally gullible?
1) What is your most favoured form/type of advertising? (if any)
2) What is your least favoured?
For me, the answer to (1) is fully informative; the answer
to (2) being emotional, ego-massaging touchy-feely claptrap
that has almost no valid information that would enable an
informed decision to be made.
