I wasn't a fan of some of the either or questions regarding myself as on a few of them I fall equally under both options.
Yes, I felt that a few of the binomial questions were attempting to set up the concepts as polar opposite when I felt they weren't along the same dimension, and that both or neither applied to me.
For example one question asks whether I am more concerned for harmony or justice, but I have little concern for either. It's like asking me if to choose between whether I'm tall or fat, when in reality I'm short and skinny. I suppose I could be a little taller than I am fat, but this is trying to set up a false dichotomy.
I do understand that there can be value in measuring which degree is greater in two concepts aligned along different axises (it can matter whether you think your height is more defining than your weight as in the above situation), but I felt like the researcher didn't understand this so much as they simply made a mistake and will interpret these results incorrectly. Having taken a class entirely about setting up surveys correctly, I know it's very easy to ***** them up.
I also hate not being able to sign up for a mailing list for the results. I don't mind being tested, but you've got to let me know the results or else you're just cruel.
