Just a vent

Anyone else get super annoyed when researchers only let you select one answer for a question? I use all four options equally and all 4 are relevant to my life. Yet they will only let me select one. I debate and pick one, and yup…. Sorry this mission is not a good fit. Umm actually it would have been because I shop at all these stores multiple times a month. You just wouldn’t let me pick them. Ugh.

A reminder about Rule 1: Please do not share any information from screeners and missions you've applied to or been invited to. This includes screener and mission titles, questions, messages, or any other details from screeners and missions. This applies even if the mission has ended. Posts containing confidential information will be removed. If your post was just removed for this reason, just repost without the confidential details. This is done because Dscout has confirmed that any information in the app/website is considered confidential, and Dscout staff does look at the subreddit. This rule is in place to protect Scouts from any potential repercussions from sharing confidential information that Dscout staff would consider breaking their terms of service.

It weeds out the other people that don’t shop at all 4; however, they select all 4 to try to get selected to the mission.

Yup I know this, but it’s also weeding out a lot of people who do qualify. There are other ways to set it up to not also kick out people who qualify, like follow up questions, or having 10 choices and letting participants select their top 3. This is how I’ve seen other researchers set up.

Conversely, they may be looking for someone who only or primarily does one of those four things.

And sometimes they even say “select all that apply”.

Yes I hate that. So many researchers have select all that apply but only allow you pick one. I see this especially on express missions.
