I just completed the survey from National. I am a survey writer. I thought that it was not a really good survey. I really think that it had a bias based what seemed ot me to be a preconcieved notion that we all drive and own a car. I do neither. Why didn't the survey ask if any other mode of transportation was used to get to meets? I've actually taken more trains to get to meets than any other form of transportation.
Two parts really bothered me Part C, question 30-30 and Part D, questions 1-3.

Had the e-mail indicated that I might be receiving more than one survey, I could have looked to see if it was "A" or "B" that I was filling out since it's listed on the bottom. I simply assumed it was a duplicate, which was a logical assumption under the circumstances. I chose one at random and responded. I don't know which I filled out, and won't be responding to both because I can't be sure of which I have already responded to and don't want to fill out the same survey twice.
I do not believe that the discussion of the survey in this forum casts negative aspersions on those who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to develop this survey. Some issues have been raised here which need to be addressed, and that is all that has happened here.
On another aspect of the survey, have members without e-mail addresses been included, and if so, how?
Catherine,
Great question.
Mark,
I take trains to meets. And also, soem of the strongly agree/strongly disagree questions were really yes/no responses.
The sample size is very large. That is one good thing about doing an electronic survey, you can reach so many peole easily.
I just went back and looked at the duplicate survey I received and have not yet made a response. Did all who got one, get the other? It is exactly the same as the one I answered. When I was answering the first survey, I took notes because I wanted to see if there were any answers in the results that I thought might have been biased by the structure of the question.
