SURVEY QUESTIONS

I agree with Bala. Those clauses are used in just about every survey I have ever taken. It also said to use these clauses in one of our readings to ease people into the question. Its not so much about tough...because I have no problem with asking tough questions...its that you got to think of it in respect to the person taking the poll. We can't ask such hard or 'tough' questions to the point where they don't want to participate at all. We may push the surveyor away which is the last thing we want to do. Its not about easing off from being tough, because the tough question is still there, its just about making the respondent feel both respected and comfortable with the survey, otherwise he may resist going on with the questions at all.
