Hey @L Lemon, haven't seen you in a while. I know you were/are in the wildfire area, so hope everything is alright.

 

I had to return this - I have no words left, I'm tired, and I don't want to mess up my ratings, haha. How pathetic am I?

You really have to wonder what these people are thinking sometimes. Are they oblivious to the 'flipping'? That would be a little
stupid, but forgivable. Or do they actually think that this serves as a sort of 'attention check'? And what would be the point of that?
Maybe they think they have accurate algorithms to determine if workers are giving inconsistent responses in this situation, in which
case they can hand out a rejection, whether the worker was trying to do a good job or not, and at least not have their data corrupted
more than it probably already is!
If you'll allow my two cents as far as 'screwy scales', what really irritates the poo out of me is when there's a slider with 'stops', or
a set of bubbles, which don't allow for an 'exactly in the middle' position. You just can't ask someone (particularly a die-hard
'middle of the road' person) to place themself on an even-numbered 'range' of bubbles, since that's always going to indicate a bit
of 'leaning' one direction or the other. And sometimes they actually come right out with it! "If you had to choose, would you say
you lean more toward the ratbags or the dorkheads?" Guess what. buddy! I don't have to choose, and you've pretty much
invalidated your entire study! Get out of research while you can!
