@theprof

there are countless rrod survey threads here....

your 1st response to kasz proves this is trolling. do you have a 360? do you want a 360? why do you care? and your poll couldnt prove a thing... doubtless you voted and many other non 360 fans did too.

I actually did have a 360, back when that first Fight Night came out and it lasted less than a year, so I clicked that. Is there anything else you'd like to assume about me?

I'm sorry that I didn't check for other RROD survey threads. I don't mean to throw it in your face. I just like studying people and their responses in regard to "stressful" situations. I'm a psych major after all. I'm not sitting here going "LULZ 360 SUCKS", I'm looking at these numbers and looking at them critically.

 

As I said to Kasz, you are assuming that you know the question.

Did you know that on most job questionnaires the most important criteria is validity? They don't care if you run up and down stairs, they don't care if you have sleepless nights, or frequent nightmares. They don't care that you get angry easily. They just want to make sure you are telling the truth, and they do that by pairing questions across a scale. However, they never ask you if you lie.

Many surveys are like that. The person taking the survey assumes they are answering an implied question X, when really they are being studied for behavior Y.

No, that's actually not the case.  Those tests actually are testing something more then just consistancy.

They just often mask what they're looking for.  Which is personality typing.  There are SOME questions on their to test if your telling the truth or lying to test consistancy... but that's not actually the main goal.

I'm guessing you've never taken any mid level sociology or psychology of buisness courses... or any sort of statistical course in such a field.

 

My apologies, it was just an example of having a different goal that the test-taker is not aware of. Sorry that I did not accurately describe the purpose of those tests, but I love the fact that you used them as your little straw man argument.

Keep provoking me and I'll just report you. I'm done explaining myself to people who get uptight about everything. Either respond to the OP or don't. Don't derail my thread again with your antagonistic remarks. Take it to my wall instead.

 

Report me for what? 

"I'm guessing you've never taken any mid level sociology or psychology of buisness courses... or any sort of statistical course in such a field." Everything else is fine. Where do you get off saying that? I'll just assume that you've never taken a class in "tact".

Also, you know... I did respond to the OP.  About how it was poorly consturcted and will aquire no useful data no matter what your intention was.  Unless it was to find people who can point out bad polling questions.

It's vaguely written and full of way too many different interpretations to provide any sort of real data.

From your point of view.
