The questionnaire is an either or type, not writing out answers. I want to be honest, but not have it come back to haunt me if I ever want a referral!

It is a funny thing, they say, about bosses.  What they say is seldom what they mean, even if they mean what they say.  \n\nAsking a person for an honest opinion is still in hope that the opinion will be good.  \n\nWhat I would encourage you to do is be honest, but be positive.  I would focus overwhelmingly on the positive attributes, but be honest about ways to help his business succeed (assuming he owns the business), or ways to become an "even better boss".  Feel free to add in a touch of humor, if that will lighten the mood, (such as, "I know you have it tough dealing with an employee with me, but").  \n\nIf there are some tough things you really want to say, let him know your intentions in answering the questions upfront (I have grown to appreciate and trust you and your wife, and will answer as honestly as I can in hopes of helping you get ahead).  That would mean a lot to me if I had handed you the questionnaire.

I really think it is a nice touch when you add a response when you select the best answer. As for emailing, I don't know if that is feasible. I have enjoyed the process of answering a variety of questions, but it certainly is motivating to know that someone appreciates your time and effort \nSimilarly, I would like there to be a good way to recognize quality questions. When I look at the questions you have asked, for example, they clearly are thoughtfully phrased and thought-provoking. \nKeep it up!

Without seeing the specific questions, it's hard to say.  Have you asked Yahoo directly?  I would check the guidelines again.

That depends...some answers are easy and others need a real thoughful answer.  Some questions come to me easily if there's something I'm really wondering about.  It takes a bit more thought to come up with a question just for the sake of entertainment purposes.  I don't know how some people can rattle off question after question...some have 2 pages of open questions.

I just answer the question that is posed, but I usually try to be more explanatory than some responses.  A yes or no answer doesn't really say anything for the person asking.  I think they are usually wanting a more detailed answer that may give options or a good reason for why the answer is what it is.

Microsoft's Sharepoint software is really neat for creating questionaires for on-line or e-mailing.  As the others said, you need to exercise some control over your respondents. If you throw it out there for anyone, ask the wrong questions to the wrong group, etc., it will appear that you do not know grasp the concept of scientific research (which is the whole point!).

well, a lot of people post pointless questions on here just to build up points and such. you've just got to sift through the 'look at me' questions, like this one, and find the serious ones and try to give an honest attempt to helping.

Yahoo, does not seem to have a very good position on what can be ask, I am a Bush basher, ( I have my own reasons) I have had questions removed for what I felt was no reason. I have seen Bush supporters get the same treatment, but maybe because this whole thing is fairly new. I think if somebody reports a question or an answer it is automatically removed. It is like I wrote to them, just because someone does not agree with your answer should not be reason to remove it. Unless it is profane or truly objectionable they should leave it alone. All I get for an answer is a link to their policy. So I don't know. You should have had every right to ask that question freely and I should have the same right to answer it.

It's setup to randomly appear in random sessions. There is no way to use it permanently as it is only a beta. They do it so different people will be able to experiment with it and submit their feedback.

You can anticipate the quality of both the questions and the answers improving over time; partly as the "novelty" factor wears off and partly as people who aren't earning points get bored from the lack of positive feedback and go away.  At some point the "search" function of the site should become more useful than the "ask" function.  (At least, this is how I think Yahoo expects it to go.)

What personal crap?  \n\nThey ask your religion, race and income right?  Those questions are all part of the census, they need to know who lives where what their beliefs are and what their income level is.  Can't you opt out of some of those questions?

i would say getting responses to questions because the points aren't very useful. However, it is a nice feeling to know that you have tried your best to help someone else.

If you go to the upper right, where it says rate this.. or something to that effect.. do that.. if they give you the option of taking the survey, do that.. I did and within a couple days I had my old one back.. The new one is horrid.  I'd say it's about 33% good... But that's not good enough for me!

We did that in my h.s. We'd answer a survey and then for like a dollar or 2 we could get our results and it'd list out the top 10 or 15 people we were most compatible with.  It was all for shit and giggles.  I never went after the people on my list.  Just something to humor us with.  If it were to offend you, I'm sure they can't make you participate.

You may have to word your questions more carefully to indicate whether you are seeking general info or info to help you solve a personal problem.  The latter may get you very direct responses.  Still you are free to ask in your own style and others are free to answer in their own styles.  Hopefully, all the answers put together will help get you the answer you want, from the best to the least answer.  Good luck.

It would be hard to pick just one.  Seems like everyday the questions get worse.  I really don't think it is any one question as much as the quality of all the questions as a whole.\n\nYou asked a good question though.  God bless you.
