Hey guys! Could you take this survey to test your awareness of current issues? It wont take longer than a minute. I designed it for a study to determine the average knowledge of the average human! I would greatly appreciate it if you could take it!

Average knowledge? These are opinion-based questions. They're going to vary whether the survey-taker is intelligent or not.

I don't think Americans consume too much at all. Gluttony is a human right. As long as it isn't negatively impacting anyone, taking more than you need is absolutely fine, in my book. Preparations for the future, or enjoyment of the present, both valid reasons to relish what you have/can take.


Taking more than you need, by its nature, will almost always negatively impact someone else. There are obviously exceptions, but calling gluttony a human right is a big stretch imo. Combined small acts of gluttony can be a massive deal on a large scale. especially when the resources required could have done something far better for another. Gluttony isn't preparing for the future, which is, in my eyes, completely respectable and worth doing.

I don't claim anyone should never partake in excess or have fun, but it's always worth considering the effects of your actions or inaction on others, and possibly even using some of the resource that'd go towards excess to help out someone who needs it instead.

Agree on the questions, but it's possible some of them may not be related to intelligence or knowledge, but to see how people respond based on their age group, political party, etc, even though the OP mentioned knowledge. Psychological experiments often give misleading or false information to change the way someone responds to it.

It's most likely not the case with this, though.

The binary gender is an overarching category, that determines what your genitalia are. And considering this is a psychological study, it may be safe to assume that non-binary gender options do not hold any relevancy to the outcome of this study.

I have to disagree on that because it doesn't matter what genitalia you have it matters what you think you are up in your mind but i think he should of added a other option (My friends friends gender is a cat idk y but ya)

this is pretty dumb

firstly politics is a lot more complicated than just going by the views of the democratic and republican parties at this moment in time + you're assuming everyone is american
also if the survey is aiming to produce information on the awareness that people have of the world the questions are flawed- it seems like you are assuming that people will always directly take action on bad things they are aware of -no, it doesn't work like that

and lastly with the overpopulation question it's a lot more complicated than just "yes" or "no" because...the definition of "overpopulation" is flexible- because theoretically we could easily account for everyone in the world, the potential is there, but as of now we're not doing it well which could lead to people thinking it's overpopulated when it's really not

It would be nice if you had an "other" option for gender.

I'm not trying to be a jerk when I say this, but I sighed super hard when I saw this. Sure, there may be more than just two genders, but there's this thing called relevancy. The binary gender is an overarching category, that determines what your genitalia are. And considering this is a psychological study, it may be safe to assume that non-binary gender options do not hold any relevancy to the outcome of this study.

That's like saying there should be a bubble on a job application for every single felony you could commit in the "have you committed a felony in the past 10 years" section. You either did, or you didn't, and what felony you committed is only relevant if you did commit one.

To be fair, there is a difference between sex and gender.
