How do I select the different options in your survey?
In fact, the purpose of my post was not to survey the members of this forum, but rather to seek views on whether the questionnaire would be workable in a live situation, i.e. with a surviving member of the crew or passengers.
In market research it's critical to have the questionnaire right in order to get good answers. For example, I wanted to seek views on, for example:
* whether multiple-choice is the right format as opposed to, say, open-ended questions (e.g. "what did the hijacker look like?") or yes/no choices (e.g. "was the hijacker Hispanic?") or factual answers (e.g. "how tall was the hijacker?")
* if multiple-choice is right, whether the respondent should be invited to select more than one response or only one
* whether there should be "tick boxes" on each page, or just a dotted line for the responses
* whether "don't remember" should be an explicit choice, or left to the respondent
* whether the number of images is about right, too many or too few
* whether the images should be color or grayscale
* whether the page format should be landscape or portrait
* whether the questionnaire could be completed in (say) under 5 minutes, so as not to fatigue the respondent
* whether the respondent would find it fun or a chore.
Having said that, I don't mind if a member wants to respond as if he/she were the interviewee. In that case the simplest way would be to post the answers, e.g. Q1(a) = B, Q2 = A, etc. If many members wanted to do this, we would probably have to set up a poll, which I suppose is possible with the forum software.
