Just a thought...
When someone generates a poll or a survey with the intent of collecting "fact" the questions are usually specific and quantifiable.
When someone circulates a poll/survey to collect or generate "opinion" the questions are usually emotional and subjective.
I took this survey. MANY of the questions were emotional and subjective but packaged as objective.
Consider this...
I give you a four question survey:
Women in direct combat roles is a:
-good idea
-great idea
-good example of gender equality
-process that must be studied further before it can be implemented
what do you answer?
Then I give you a section to provide your own comments...
"
This shit is fucking bullshit political tampering with national defense"
That statement contradicts your previous answer, so I can deliver results as "inconclusive"
If I give that same survey to a few lower enlisted troops, I can also use the results to show exactly how immature the force is and explain that in all of the responses by mature senior troops, the free-text response matches the multiple choice.
Then I can deduce from the data that with the exception of a few immature and unprofessional youngsters - this is actually a good idea that can become a GREAT idea with just a little more research into gender equality.
Looks good - this is exactly the response we were looking for...
