Bicycle Brand Personality Survey

[pll]

Bizarre. I quit the survey:

• I do not know any of the people featured with pictures
• I do not personalize brands
• I dislike Trek

Also, I hate surveys that force you give answers. Strictly from a research participation point of view, participants should not be forced to answer questions. Not answering is in itself an answer -- it could mean that the question was phrased poorly.

Yeah, that is probably one of the silliest surveys I've ever seen.

Yeah, I quit it too. I didn't realize it was a fill-in-the-blanks survey. Multiple choice is much easier.

I quit on the 1st question. I don't have a strong enough opinion about Trek to have 5 words come to mind about the brand. It wouldn't let me proceed if I didn't complete all 5 lines.

I don't have a problem with the surveys that the student is asking us to take. Nor am I offended by the way the questions are worded, even if I can't answer them. This student is probably learning how to format surveys as well as learning how to analyze the data. I'm happy to help her/him gain experience with this process.

If Trek is truly trying to figure out whether their funds at the pro level are being recognized by all sorts of cyclists... I wonder why their sponsership of female cyclists is so poor? Afterall, you are on a WOMENS website.

I also quit on the first page - I am not a fan of Trek to begin with but I don't base my bike purchases on personalities - I've learned to look at a lot of things before I consider a brand name. Fill-in-the-blank surveys are quite simply not user friendly - and it also makes it far more challenging to categorize what results you do happen to get.

But it's an interesting concept. Could be fun to run with it. If your bike/bikes were a movie star or other known personality who would it be and why?

This would be fun, actually...I have to think about that.
