Neither agree or Disagree on surveys

Come on own up how many of you tick the middle sections when entering survey competitions? The neither agree or disagree sections?
Surely I'm not the only one :)

    Often, if I don't have a firm view either way, or there isn't an option that covers my view. :)

    I only answer surveys that apply to me and when I do I try to give honest answers. Two reasons

    a) I don't have time to spend answering surveys any more and b) a business will take on board the answers they receive from these surveys to model their marketing/products/websites or whatever so I don't like to mislead them.

    I do try to do this ethically. If the subject doesn't apply to me, I will quit the survey. But if I'm doing a survey I try my best to answer honestly.

    I've just done a horrible survey all about doing laundry. It took flipping ages. But it also did pay me £4.00 for that one survey, so I guess they deserve something back for their payment.

    The only time I will go for any answer is if I feel it's being done really badly. In that situation, if I've already invested time, I may decide to complete it regardless. They ask for it if they don't provide realistic options.

    Good thread though

    I try not to but sometimes it's really hard! Like there's a big list of questions and a couple of of them I don't really 'get' or just seem worded a bit weirdly I don't want to give an opinion in case I've misunderstood!

    I try not to. I only enter surveys about stuff that's relevant to me so usually if I put neither disagree/agree it's because I REALLY do feel that way
