Hi Hayley, surveys are really hard to write, so if this is your first go, that’s amazing! Thanks for letting others have a go at the survey (oh yes… I love Survey Monkey too!)
I will give some feedback about how I found your survey so that you can hear what it was like for a complete stranger to take the survey.
I found some questions a bit puzzling (e.g. question 2 in part 2 asks “what would you find not too distracting?”) this is a double negative, so I continually had to think… “is this asking me if it is distracting or not?”.
Question 3 has two aspects to the question, so it’s hard to answer with a yes or no, when you might think differently about each part of the question.
I think that having a “don’t know” option in part 1 might have been a good idea too as not everyone knows what a Voki is (like me for example) so the answer I wanted to give was “don’t know” I had to chose yes or no and that was not really my answer. I am an older blogger.
I hope this feedback helps… I have to develop a survey soon too and I will ask some friends to do the survey before I use it, so that I can try to get it as clear as possible.
Cheers and happy surveying! Anita
