I enjoyed the different way the questions were asked; however, not having a father made it difficult for me to answer those questions without worrying I would forget who I chose to replace his spot with later
Thank you! I love your surveys. They are always laid out very well and interesting.

I still think its possible to gather information, but I'm probably just paranoid.

I don't think it protects anyone unless they pretend that they were confused and answered mistakenly.
It was an interesting and different approach.
This was a fun survey - more unique than others.

THat was interesting. I am a very honest person, and especially on these surveys so the givers will get accurate results. I answered the question about taking things from teh store honestly, even though I could have answered the other one, "you" would not know the number i used (it was 5). I did shoplift when I was a teenager/ pre teen.

I haven't put too much thought in trying to understand this technique, but it doesn't seem to make any sense.
It was a little confusing at first, but the technique was interesting and not something I have seen before.
It was an interesting questionnaire that was also enjoyable, can't think of anything that could make it better. Thank you for the chance to participate.

I wouldn't trust that technique if I really wanted to guard my privacy.
I can't believe I picked the correct number for the dice roll, as I'm typically 'unlucky' and don't count on luck. But I wrote the number down - wish you knew for sure that I'm being honest, as I'm sure many people lie (I'm naturally mistrusting too!) Also, the privacy technique was fascinating - I'm almost sure it could be cracked though (deciphered)

What does the mother and father's information have to do with this study?
I think this provides a buffer by "shuffling" outcomes well.

Very intresting way to preserve sensitive information.  I imagine the sample size has to be fairly large to account for it.
This is all anonymous anyway, so why not just ask the questions directly?
Please don't ask how many surveys I've taken! There's no way for me to know, and I always have to make up a number and lie for that question just to advance the page, which really bothers me.

You should never ask about parents birth dates ever for any reason. Just use a birth date of a random friend instead.
Don't use parents birth dates. Use two random friends.
I think that there's an attempt to protect users by stating that you initially choose the house digit, but it never actually asks me to put it down in writing.
This was a really interesting survey. I haven't seen anything like this before. Thanks!

I figure if you ask enough questions with that technique, you could eventually figure out our answers to the sensitive questions.

It's interesting. but wouldn't it affect the usefulness of the data if you don't know who is giving useful responses and who is just saying yes or no. A person being in charge of choosing how they answer also becomes a factor. As far as privacy goes, it does make it harder to say something definite about a responder (I guess this is the same thing that affects the usefulness of the data)

Trying to get into app development since I am disabled
When I tried to load the instructions, it told me I could not use the back button so until the last one that never loaded, so I answered the questions.  My number was 11 by the way.
As I said before, it would not load the instructions without telling me I cannot use the back button.  I never did, so I do not understand this.  The only button i used on my browser was the "stop" because nothing was showing up on the page.  When I pressed stop, the bottom half showed up, but I still could not access the instructions based on the dice roll.
I've never seen it before and have to give it more thought.  It was definitely interesting, but without the info from some of the questions that presumably only I know, it's difficult.  Great survey though.
I'm lost.  As before I have to think about these things, but I love working them out.  Great study, thanks for posting it and all the best to you in your research!!!!!
I really like this survey technique. Thank you for using it!
Great survey, I love the survey technique you used!
My parents have been gone for many years. I no longer celebrate their birthdays so have gotten hazy on the day, but still remember the year of their births.
Interesting take on privacy, and how a person will protect their privacy. My only question would be how you would determine which survey takers actually lied and which told the truth? As for whether or not it protects my privacy as to the answers on these questions, my opinion is I could care less. I suppose for those who have more intense history to hide the circumstances might be different. Thanks for the opportunity as always. Engaging and interesting.
Thanks for the opportunity as always. Engaging and interesting.
But I did accidentally select the wrong answer on one of the special questions. The instructions were a little confusing having the Yes/No at the bottom for both questions. :(
Your surveys are always very interesting and popular among Mturk workers. Thank you also for you very fair pay for our time!

This is a very interesting survey technique.  I'm curious as to how accurate it really is.
It is an interesting way to conduct a survey.
*I accidentally put male on the previous page; I'm female.
I can't believe I won the dice roll! Thanks for the extra $2!
I guessed correctly on my $2 bonus but I am sure a lot of people did not and simple said they did. I would suggest having the user enter his/her guess first before rolling the dice.
It feels a lot like guessing to me.  There's no way you can know the answers to my sensitive questions, so if the answer was different (such as the tax returns question) then you have no idea if my mother's birthday is the "No" or if I cheated on my taxes.  That one is kind of a lose-lose for the survey taker.  Either you know my parents birthday or I cheated on my taxes, there's no winning in that one for me.
I feel like I should have lied and told you that I got the dice roll correct in order to receive $2.  Surveys like this make me feel like I have to lie my way through life to get the most out of it.  It's very depressing that honesty is never rewarded (so far).

It was interesting it broke up the routine of answering tradition survey questions
Everything worked fine and I did not notice any spelling errors.
I SWEAR that I actually guess the roll of the die accurately. I honestly would have said if it had been wrong. And it kind of makes me feel guilty that it DID turn out to be right, because I'm worried that you'll think I was cheating.

I suppose if you asked enough of those questions, you could narrow down answers to any of those questions.
I thought it was a clever way to increase anonymity. I haven't seen it before on another survey.
It looked as if you had to answer the question regardless of the number you picked because I had to answer all the questions.
Kinda confused.  I wanna know how you guessed that I picked 4 on the dice roll, though. Some kind of force, I suppose.
Nothing as such. but to be frank, the survey was very good and involving
Great survey. User will be completely involved in it.
The buttons didn't seem to work correctly when I was choosing the A or B option for the question.

Reading both A and B questions would give you an idea of how the survey is protecting your information.
The first two questions asked about your father's birthdate, and if you don't know to think of someone else.  It was unclear whether this someone else should be the same person for the second question as for the first question, or if it was more of a "your father... or absolutely any one at all" type thing.

The technique used to protect privacy is rather unique and I would like to know more about it.
In the task where I had to think of a number and Show Letter I could not click the 'Show Letter' button. The button was grayed out, so I did not answer the question that follows.
I had to read the directions several times. But, I understand it.
I don't see how you would get any kind of reliable answers using this technique

I thought the directions were straightforward, but I definitely had to think through a few times to make sure I was selectively the right answer - it definitely tests the thinking skills!  If I could go through the special survey again to make sure my answers were correct, I would definitely do it.
No further comments.  Thank you for the work!
Between the anonymity of MTurk and the survey technique, I feel that privacy is protected reasonably well.

nnavarro84@hotmail.com. The only thing I had a problem with was one of the dice rolls, I didn't understand how the number was assigned to me.
Interesting survey. I wonder how many people lied to get the $2 bonus.
I think it's quite unique and I've never seen such a system in place before (though I haven't really done that many research surveys either).    I am not a statistician or a researcher, so I really have no informed basis on which to determine anything about it, but I wonder how you can extract accurate results using this system.  My understanding is that you'd essentially be able to say that a certain proportion of the answers, based on the distribution you provided for each question, would be a static yes/no and the remainder would be real answers.  I wonder, though, how many people understand the instructions, then follow the instructions, etc. /  / Also, the reason I answered moderately to absolute protection, after some thought, is that I wonder if you can't use this system to trick the respondent into a false sense of security and using their own predictability against them.   If you did a dice roll using the same scale as the numbers in the questions, would the respondent be likely to pick the same number they did in the dice roll?  Will they be likely to pick the same number over and over for each question?  Could you try to figure out the number (presuming respondents may likely choose the same number over and over) by asking several innocuous questions that nobody would lie on and simply shift around which number answers yes/no?   In any event, I find this sort of thing very interesting!
I had some trouble early on in the survey.  I clicked the next button and it told me I could not press the back button, which I did not do.  I use NoScript and had to enable your third-party site for scripting (I have qualtrics enabled) at the dice roll page, so that may have had something to do with it.  I suggest in the future that before a "critical" dice roll, you have a test page that allows people to make sure everything is functioning.

This was a very nicely planned and laid out survey. Taking surveys like this are really great. I enjoy working for you, and you can be sure that I pay close attention to them.
It was interesting, I'll leave it at that.
I skipped unfortunately  last question about father's birthday. I know it perfectly. / I have no comments about survey.
I was honest about my dice roll, not fair that people who lie get the bonus. But I don't complain, just saying lol

It's interesting. I'm honestly curious as to how that works. I'm going to check it out and see if I can get a more detailed explanation of it after the task.
I dont see how you could know which answer was for what question if you checked the yes and no one.
This was actually interesting and made me think about my parents.
This was a very interesting survey please send more again in the future. Thank you!
I found the survey fun and pleasant.  Thanks for the opportunity to participate!
In theory this technique should help with anonymity, provided the survey takers identity is anonymous. However, anyone who knows my background would easily be able to sort through the answers based on their knowledge of my parents birthdays.
I believe the nature of this survey would allow you to deduce who lied and who didn't about the dice roll, which in turns means that this survey technique could certainly have a use in the corporate world. I could see an employer using a similar technique for pre-employment.

I didn't get how the A B C thing helped you guys at all, but I'm sure you have your rationale
More house numbers probably start with 1 than with any other number.  I did not imagine that the selection device had been chosen through accident or oversight.

No comments, but very interesting privacy technique.
I think the survey technique protects respoders well. There would be no way to find out the responder's identity.
It is certainly interesting. I am not sure of its validity.
I was very interested in the technique from a Pschologist perspective - of course I waited to think about it until I was done with the questions. I think it covered my identity but I'm unsure how you can parse out the answers.
This was a strange survey. when I did the first part about the dice I pricture the number 5 on the dice and it came up 5 which really surprized me I thought wow that was and easy 2.00  then I wondered if I missed something and didn't get the directions right when  I went on to the next part.  and picking the numbers from 1-12  On the first one I was a little in between number  two  like 6-7 but the answer was  the same way for both questions. on the next set it was easy to settle on a fixed number.
This was really the strangest study I have done lately, but it was still easy to do. Just a little out there.It made me laugh a little.

No, but I did like it a lot. Very creative I thought.
Thank you for allowing me to participate!
I think it is a very unique technique in the way most people could answer comfortably to the sensitive questions without any hesitation.  However, I have a question that how researchers could exactly research the their accurate answers of all people who participated in this survey.
If I were a researchers of the survey, in the task of the dice number choice, I would have requested to the participants to indicate the number that they thought in their mind before confirm the results.  Although I have taken a lot of surveys, it is a very first fresh experience for me to participate in like this survey that was included the unique technique for participants to answer with truly and comfortably.  Hopefully, my survey could be useful for the researchers.  Thanks.
I'm mad at the dice, haha! Oh well, I suppose I'll have better luck next time. Thanks for the fun HIT!

It is dependent upon folks being honest.  I was honest.
This was fun!  Wishing you well on your research and a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas!  God Bless you all!
Though this protects respondents, Im not sure how this method can obtain accurate results because I dont see a way to pick which data is correct and which was "yes/no" based on predetermined instructions.

This was an interesting survey. I can tell that it could be assumed that I lied about the dice roll, but I actually didn't! I enjoyed this survey, I just wish you included a summary at the end to explain what you hoped to accomplish in this study. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to know what the overall concept of this survey was! It seems like it could be really interesting.
i would love to get the bonus because i was honest!

No, not really other than to say that I have never seen/used this technique before, I think its a good one.
I enjoyed participating in the survey and I look forward to being involved with more of them in the future. Thank You.
Every time I chose a number, I actually clicked on it, and "answer question" appeared. Anyway, I think that if you guys wanted to collect data about the survey responders, you can do it, and we as users can never feel fully protected. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate. I was honest on all questions.
I never saw it on any of the surveys I have taken before. Other than that, nothing else to say.
I do not. And I just want to tell you that I 100% did not lie on that die roll.  /  / Thanks.

I was trying to see if there was any way to track the "non-sensitive" question to determine what the answer must be (and thus expose what the other answer must be), but you didn't ask enough questions for that to be possible (I think).
It's a bit odd, but I liked it.  Just wanted to say, I was truthful on the dice roll, and was very surprised that it came up on my number.  As for my parents' birthdays, I know them because I pick up prescriptions for them, and in the US you have to give the patient's birthdate to do that.

If you did more special survey questions I'm certain you could narrow down my parents birthdays and know the answers to the sensitive questions.
This left me feeling very lucky and slightly confused!
Wouldn't your results be basically random and useless?
that was a weird one, reminded me of magic tricks where you have to pick a card.
Seemed just the tiniest bit confusing and lot of work to go to for so few questions.
If a person had something to hide and they were truly concerned about the privacy of the survey, I think that last question would freak them out.  After all, if the person had known their parents' birth dates AND was honest in answering the "sensitive questions" AND they believed that their identity could be traced (so that their parents' birth dates could be uncovered), then they'd have every reason to believe that you could link their "sensitive answers" right back to them!   Of course, you'd probably have to be a bit paranoid....  :o)

This is the first time I encounter this type of special survey technique.  Though I am not sure if this technique is at all beneficial and efficient to add extra privacy to existing measures (qualtrics).  I noticed that most of the  sensitive questions followed the same numbers in all the questions.  I would think a more appropriate measure would to randomize each set of numbers for each question.  Though I guess it doesn't really matter unless the random number is revealed.  Overall, I am indifferent to the survey technique.
Survey was straightforward and directions were clear despite the strange tasks.

I wasn't really sure how to answer the question about if someone could actually figure out if you stole, cheated on taxes or didn't actually roll a "6". The first 2 were unlikely, but the experiment could have been designed so that no one rolled a "6" to check for honesty. so I rated the question a "2". /  / Thanks for the HIT and all the other ones your institution provides.

none.  I think that it worked pretty much as instructed
Quite inventive.  I like it, it is exactly the same structure of chance as the dice game was.
I would be very interested in understanding the statistical models used in developing this techique.
Taken from Amazons FAQ: "Requesters are required to collect tax information from all foreign Workers who work on their HITs. The information we are asking for is the same information you would provide in an IRS W-8BEN form. Please refer to the IRS website for more details: www.irs.gov." Uh oh.
Interesting survey that has made me question the integrity of Requesters.

I think the breach of privacy comes from the fact that I'm taking this survey online and that all online activities are being collected by the US government.  But in saying that, I take the stand that they now know everything about me anyway so I answer your study honestly like I do any study I participate in.
Confusing when the number I picked said to click on yes, was it to answer correctly or just to click on yes?

I understand how the special technique protects respondents, but I don't quite understand how it provides reliable answers to your questions - but then I guess that's why you're the scientists and I'm not.

How do you guys know if someone really answered A or B like they were supposed to? You never asked me to record my number, people could just choose whichever question they felt like answering. I'm not sure this definitely promotes honesty and/or security.
This was definitely one of the most interesting surveys I have ever taken, and like I said before, I have taken about 2500.
nothing, thank you and have a great holiday!
I would have to  trust that everything you said was accurate and truthful.  I have no way of assessing  how truthful or correct you are.
Don't know if I was supposed to, but I never saw the results of the roll. Since my only options were to answer yes or no about my prediction matching, I decided to be optimistic and say "yes".

Its hard to tell if some cheated on the $2 question. I did guess the wrong dice though and reported it honestly. I am not sure how this survey can find out if someone cheated. I would be very interested to know.

Whether or not it actually works, it does make one feel secure in the fact that their information is being treated with care. It makes it easier to answer in a completely honest fashion.

I think someone could possibly get the information by saying that one of the two questions is the answer and then every answer in that question wether it be Question A or Question B will be what the person answered.
It is an interesting method, but I don't know how effective it is over time.
Slightly strange, but interesting set of questions and tasks.
I got it :) but the dice question threw me for a loop there. i expected to have to enter my guess, then roll. but you allowed people to cheat. I was also expecting to have to say "no" to the "did you roll your prediction" question. i actually kind of wanted to, just to show there were some honest people out there. but then i 'rolled' my prediction, and didn't get the chance. this survey certainly made me think.
disabled (also I skipped gender because you didn't have an other, not because I wasn't paying attention :(.)
It's actually a bit confusing?  I'd rather just have the option to skip sensitive questions, or hear how the data will be protected, or something like that.  (And if that were done I'd be curious to know in detail, not this silly "secure server" thing.  How secure, what encryption, who has access, etc.  Though I highly doubt survey responses would ever be anything I'd need to know that much for!)
Oh, drat, now there's a blank that would work better for this.  Sorry about cramming this in an earlier fillin field, then! /  / But you should have an other/fillin option for gender.  It makes puppies happy (and then I don't have to skip the question and feel bad that it's not complete). /  / Everything worked nicely otherwise; I like surveys on mturk that have a way I can check if I've taken them before because so many are titled something ambiguous so it's all...I'm...not...sure.

Very interesting survey, thank you for the opportunity.  Please keep in mind that while I expect this technique to be very effective (and interesting), my opinion is that nothing is absolutely protected/secure, especially since I don't know what information Amazon sends you (IP, worker ID, etc).
There 2 dollar bonus section should reward honesty. I lost out because i answered the survey honestly.
i was confused and would love to understand it sometime

I understand how it protects privacy but I fail to understand how the seemingly random responses could be useful to the surveyors.
This reminded me of some parts of a book I read called "Predictably Irrational" by Dan Ariely. There were sections in the book devoted to talking about studies where students were given the opportunity to lie about their performance at a task in order to get better financial rewards.

It's interesting, but a clever investigator could correlate different answers, see which has the higher probability and extract the answer from that.
I'm going on the assumption that there are safeguards that will work, but in cyberspace, or whatever you might want to call it, nothing is for sure.
It was fun to take, thanks. /  Something very strange happened here! I answered with the number 2 in the last section, well my mother's birthday is 12/12/28 and my father's is 2/27/22. Weird!

It puts added accountability on the participant to not make mistakes.
This is actually a nice approach to find is someone is lying or not ... I don’t really know what is the way of reading the answers behind the answers for finding the hidden thoughts, but I believe this kind of questionnaire can help in some situations.
I must confess that the last few questions where little odd, and made me so curious what they were about.  I hope my answers contributed for successful survey.

I was quite astonished that the virtual dice correctly rolled the number that I had memorized.
I think, given enough questions, someone could actually figure out which questions the responses were for based on contradictions in the questions about birth dates, but I don't think there were enough to do that.
It was very unique and made me consider whether it was possible to figure out my answers
It's really innovative. I've never seen anything like it.
interesting.  I wonder how valuable the information you gather will be.

No but it was good but I don't see how you are to get conclusive responses from the number game portion of the survey....
I was just a bit confused.  The whole pick a number thing was confusing for me, as I wish I knew how you were collecting and processing that data.
I have no additional thoughts or remarks.
I have no suggestions. This was a fun survey, and I actually predicted the dice roll, which I didn't think would happen.
I've never seen it before and find it interesting if it's an actual technique.
It would be cool if the survey technique actually works.
It was a nice change to the normal "bubble hell"

I really enjoyed this one. Please post more
I thought it was interesting. I haven't seen anything like it before. I makes me very curious how the data will be used, or what it will show.
No suggestions. I don't know if I'll get another chance - but I wanted to say that I *swear* I predicted the dice roll. I never ever have luck at these types of things, so it was really exciting to get it right!

If someone got access to the survey responses, and they checked the answers to a question, they'd have a 50% chance of picking the right one, which isn't negligible.
It worked fine for me. The instructions, while unique, were clear enough.

The pick a random number instruction could be improved.
This was interesting and entertaining.  I'd love to know what it was all about and the results!  Thank you.
The only one I would question is the last one. It seems that everyone will roll a six so it would be easy to determine whether or not your mother's birthday was in the months listed. However, this really isn't sensitive information. I thought it was a unique system for the other questions though.
Interesting survey. Quite funny on the pick a number task. Only one of the numbers between 1 and 12 had "Tick No" which, coincidentally, is the one I chose. Kind of easy to figure that one out ;)
I thought it was a pretty good survey overall!
Thank you so much for allowing me to participate.  I hope you have a wonderful day and happy holidays!

The last game with selecting the number from 1 to 12 was confusing.
I'm not certain how the answers in this technique could possibly help with your experiment. But since I'm also certain that this part does mean something, I'd very much like to know what.
No other remarks or suggestions besides wanting to know how that special technique works in your study.

I only read the question that I was supposed to answer based on the number I had chosen previously.  I didn't read what the other questions were at all, so that makes me unsure if somehow those questions could have revealed anything maybe by process of elimination, I don't know.

The survey made me think about my behavior and whether or not I am an honest person.
This was an unorthodox study but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
Since the questions about the birthdays are unlikely to be true, you can figure out what the likely answer to the sensitive question was. However, since I have not given any identifying personal information, this is fairly irrelevant, unless you were recording my IP address.
Please do more like these. This was fun.
Not sure what it was about exactly, but it was interesting.  Thanks.
This was different from most surveys/experiments.  Thank you for the nice change in pace!
Why shouldn't I have lied for the extra $2?
It was definitely different, if I had been guilty of any of the questions, it would have been easy  to admit it. I liked this survey, it's not the same old question over and over. This was actually kind of fun and I would love to participate in more surveys like this, if possible. A little enjoyment in my day.
This was definitely a different kind of survey and it was interesting for me. It is not the same old normal questions; a refreshing change of pace.
I find the technique to be very interesting.
I am unsure if the technique could be accurately used to predict outcomes from any question.  I do not know how the data will be measured.
I thought it was an interesting new technique, I've never seen it before.
I thought that this was a very fun and interesting survey.
No questions!  It was a pleasure doing something so different!  Thanks!
Interesting method, but I would love to see the statistical analysis on this.
I told the truth and didn't get the $2 bonus. So now I'm sad.
Nope! IT's a great way to inquire anonymous answers!
Different, but very effective. I like it!

Little bit confusing. Took me a min to understand and reread a couple times. Still not quite sure.
I really enjoyed that survey. The dice game was awesome and added some fun to the survey.
I don't understand how these kinds of questions are valuable if you don't know which question got which answer.
No suggestions, but survey was interesting.
I think it's a good strategy to ensure you don't know what question the person is answering.
I thought the survey was interesting and easy. Thank you for allowing me to participate in your study.
Well it's obvious I didn't cheat on the dice task but answered yes on that question so it would be obvious that my answers to those questions were about my mom's b-day (assuming I followed the directions).
I'd like to know how many people cheat at the dice game. I was strongly tempted to cheat myself
First time I've seen it, but obviously,it should work to statistically tell the difference withour knowing what anyone's exact answer set was. I like it.
I know that some part of your study is about seeing how many honestly report the die roll, but it seems a shame that dishonesty is rewarded and not honesty. That's a rather perverse incentive system for a researcher to be using, i.e., increasing the amount of bad behavior in the world.
Interesting, but I didn't pay attention to the other set of questions as much as the ones that pertained to me.  So it's entirely possible that one could deduct the real answers depending on how the alternate set of questions were.

This was fun and interesting, thank you!
This is probably the strangest survey I've ever taken...but it makes a nice change having from all of the others!
It's an interesting technique, but flawed if you actually know our identities and can check up on our parents.
This was a bizarre but interesting survey, thank you.
no, but I don't know how you can get accurate answers out of it!

When asked if I was honest about correctly guessing the die roll I said yes however when the die roll was run it came up as a 2 and my guess was 4 so right after that I answered I guessed wrong. I am not sure if my mind answered the second question the way you wanted or not thus this explanation.
I think that it makes sense to make a respondent feel comfortable when answering questions. It was a good method. I did not however understand the dice game.
I liked this survey in comparisons with others that I have taken. Others can be tedious, this was not.

I think it is interesting, a little hard to understand at first but nice.
Was I not suppoed to read the question after looking at the number does it matter?

While I understand how it protects anonymity, I don't understand how you could get conclusive results.
Very original, and interesting. Fun to do, thanx!
This is very interesting I received a chance to win $2.00 but lost at the game and chose random numbers to either answer the question or directly click yes/no, very interesting.
Actually I really enjoyed doing this survey please don't change anything because it was fun and interesting through out the whole survey. Thank you for letting me participate in the study.
How do you have any idea which is being answered?  Or I suspect that isnt the point.
I answered honestly on the dice roll but others may choose to take advantage of you by saying that they guessed correctly even if they didn't. You could help yourself by making them choose before the roll and having it stored, unless that is the reason behind your study.

I liked that the questions were not to personal and dealt mainly with the topic at hand.

most interesting survey i've taken by far
This is the first time I have ever encountered something like this, I really like this technique.
This was an odd survey. But I do have to say I really really enjoyed doing this one. This survey def held my attention with the constant changing elements. Id enjoy taking a survey like this again in the future.
There are too many variables but if someone REALLY wanted to find out what someone said and who said it there are ways. Privacy on the Internet is not 100%. EVER.

Thanks for a fun survey! I've done a ton of these, and yours are always interesting and different from the rest.
Interesting way to do a survey. I hope more surveys follow this design.
A bit confusing, though I imagine you'd need to ask me a question asking me specifically about my parents' birth days in order to be able to distinguish which question is a yes or no.

Other than protecting one's answers it's very interactive and fun.
This was a very fun and pleasant study. I really liked the "tick" method of answering questions.
The probability of a question's answer being yes/no should be taken into account when coming up with the pairs. You can't say for _certain_ what a person's answer is, but you can guess based on those probabilities.

When checking to see if I qualified to take this survey, the qualification page said that my screen resolution was too low.

I don't think you obtained any answers so there doesn't seem to be a point to the questions...
I thought it was an interesting survey technique. I have never seen it been used on Mturk before.
No, I have no suggestions. I found the study very clear and pleasant as a participant.
I'm curious what the house number question was all about!
So it protects my anonymity, but how do you get any results from it?  I'd give up some anonymity in order to have my responses be usable to a researcher.

I wonder how accurately you can actually gather response data. I was honest in my responses but have a hard time grasping how you could tell if I ever shoplifted or cheated on my taxes.
It was a very unique questionnaire. I'd like to know what the results of the study will be used for (just curious).
It was a very interesting study, thank you.
Interesting technique.  Never saw that one before.
I didn't think to read all of the placebo questions, but when I thought of it, it looked as if you could determine whether people were answering these or the other questions.

It protects the survey takers[me], but does it serve your purpose?
I always tell the truth-and often..it hurts...
The special survey technique doesn't take into account people that are lazy or deceptive. I selected a number and adhered to it, but another person might have changed their number to one of the predetermined responses to save time on this survey.
I hope people who were dishonest about the dice roll don't get paid their bonuses.
This is a very interesting survey, thanks!

I've never taken a survey like this, but the technique was very good at keeping the participant anonymous.
I don't know if it purposely happened, but the first digit of the address matched the prediction I had for the dice. Great survey!
It seems to me that it will distort your data. Also, you are asking people questions about honesty, so I would think you can't rely on their honest answers to a random survey. You have no way of knowing who is correctly following the technique. A person could pick a number, be told to answer correctly, but then not like the question and change their mind. I answered all the questions honestly, but I feel a dishonest person might not.

It's a dynamic way of getting answers, without making the survey-taker answer personal questions openly.
I think that's a pretty nifty survey technique.  It'll help the surveyor get more honest responses, and allow the surveyed to reply without feeling pressured to answer what they think is "correct."
That was an interesting questionnaire, I think it'd be a nice standard format for more sensitive subjects.  Way to be!
The special survey technique was difficult to understand after reading through the instructions once - I ended up rereading the instructions.  It would be good to have a practice answer on the instruction page to ensure respondents understand.
Great survey. I am sure a lot of people lie about guessing correctly the number though, but I got lucky!
Very interesting on how questions were determined based on my dice and tick roll.
Not sure how you actually gain information from the survey if you don't know what question I'm answering. Interesting though if it actually works.
No, but I just wanted to say that I did not cheat on the die roll - my roll honestly matched my prediction.
I was wondering if there is some way to plot out the answers to see how likely it is that the responded answered A vs B, based on the answers to all fo the quesitons about the birth date.  I am not sure if it is possible, but I would have to think about it more.
This was cool.  It would be interesting to know more about what was being tested.  thank you
Thank you for the opportunity to complete this HIT. I guessed the dice would roll a 4, but it rolled a 2, so my prediction was wrong.

I might just be confused but.... It s true the special survey would do well with anonymizing a person's answer, but if the person was answering honestly, and the predicted number they picked forced them to tick "Yes" or "No", their response may not be 100% true to them if they had to be forced to pick an option.
This survey was definitely interesting! Thank you very much for the opportunity and I wish you luck! : )
I liked it and I enjoyed the survey, thank you.
I enjoyed the survey , thank you and happy holidays!
This was a fun one.  I bet like 99% of people lie.  Two bucks is a lot for these mturk jobs.

Assuming you, the researcher, knows if I reported correctly the roll of the dice, that might allow you to know the correct answer the the birthday question, which might allow you to figure out how I responded to at least one other question. I think.
I thought it was very unique and appreciate the protection.
I thought this one was very different and unique.  I couldn't guess though what it would pertain to unless the fact of protection we would be more truthful.
I'm sure that, using statistical analysis, these answers (given a large enough sample size) will actually allow you to come up with some sort of conclusion; however, I can't imagine what that might be.
It would seem that the birth date of my parents coupled with a question of ever committing a 'crime' is a very unbalanced technique, providing the answers (identical or different) that I had to choose from. How can one infer the right answer from it? Especially when you don't know if I am telling the truth on my parents birthdays. Very interesting survey.
So....No reward for not cheating in the dice?? :(

Would of like to have gotten the 2$ bonus, but I assume it is a test to see if the person does follow the rules to get the stuff he/she wants. Nice survey, was not boring.

I think my feeling is that just because you won't use the survey to find out who did illegal things doesn't means someone else won't or can't.  That is why I do not think it is full proof.
It seems inefficient in gathering accurate data for the research purposes behind the survey
Seems like the answers you are getting via the both the same or each different would be kind of like throwing the dice in terms of accuracy.

I'm not exactly sure how it works but I liked it
Thought it was sort of weird to answer the question based on the random number, especially when the answer chosen would not have been chosen if the random number fell in a different group. I am sort of on the fence about the usefulness of this technique, but the survey was interesting none the less.
Is it possible to be informed about the efficacy of the survey technique that was to make hide the answers from the respondents?  I have been racking my brain to figure out how it would hide our responses, and I am just curious if it is, in fact, true.  Thank you!
The instructions were confusing and the interface where a number had to be picked didn't work very well.  The implication was that we had to pick a number by clicking on it.  After a number is clicked, the button we're supposed to click to "show instructions" is faded out, ie., unusable.  But one can still answer the question at the bottom of the page, therefore, what was the use of the "show instructions" button at all?  The interface is thus ambiguous.  The user doesn't know if he or she is using it correctly or not.
Just re-read the comment I gave in answer to what I thought about the method of survey.

Nothing is ever completely safe online, you could probably extrapolate a few correct guesses about some information if you know the value of the other information. If you know when someones parent was born you could look at those questions and infer the awnser to the other question from there.

I'm thinking the survey questions don't matter, the questions on this page do. Is this supposed to measure honesty?
Thanks for the huge payout and keeping this open for such a long time. Most surveys that pay over a penny will be closed by time I find out about them.
It's interesting and you would get more honest answers.
I actually did guess 4 on the dice roll. :)

i think it's a waste of time insofar as i already feel like my privacy is well protected by mturk procedures - but it's interesting to know that there's a way to do this, although I can't figure it out mathematically. /  / I think you folks are smarter than a lot of other survey creators, whose techniques and creativity are really low (imho).
Everything ran smoothly and the directions were easy to follow.
I'm not thinking very deeply about it but I am sure there are ways, if someone sits down with a pen and paper, that they can figure out the likelihood for what I responded to with yes and with no.  It does not appear they can pin point it but I can see how percentages can be derived from answering those questions.
Interesting study.  I am curious as to what it is about.
I do understand how it is designed to protect people's privacy, but it feels as though there is still a way to tell what they were answering, maybe I am just thinking too much into it.
Very interesting survey, it kept my attention and kept me honest. Thanks for the contribution!

It's a very interesting technique for protecting privacy, as long as the responses can be properly aggregated to find the data you're looking for.
I'm wondering how you would know if someone answered honestly on the dice rolling bonus, or if a bonus is even actually involved.
I assume that since this is a study you'll at least get an indicator of whether we lied or not on the result but I think that's perfectly okay.
kinda hard to follow, had to think about it
It seemed to protect my privacy fairly well
Good survey just didn't quite understand the part about keeping the numbers or answers in your head.

I am the only one who knows what number I picked, so I am the only one who knows if I was actually answering the question or not. /  / However, I do fear for the accuracy of the data you'll extract from this but only because of human's inability to really choose random numbers; I can imagine that there's some sort of psychological preferences based on how the numbers might be lined up. Personally, I found myself avoiding 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, and 12 and really looking at 6 and 7 (because they're the "middle" corners), also 5 and 8 because they're next to 6 and 7 but not on a corner, 9 and 10 seemed like good choices after that (which I realize made me prone to choose from the bottom set of numbers, so in the future I would probably be more likely to choose 2, 3, or 4). /  / Maybe set the numbers up how people are used to seeing them like on a phone, each line only being 3 numbers long: /  / 1   2   3 / 4   5   6 / 7   8   9 / 10 11 12 /  / This might help people be more random.
I only *really* realized how the system for hiding my identity worked when I went to criticize it, so I would have liked to go back to the previous page(s) and indicate that it does work quite strongly (I only put down "a little", but then changed my mind to "a lot").
I should have lied for the extra $2, but I hate lying!
This is a great way for responses to be anonymous. What an innovative idea.
Correctly predicting the dice roll freaked me out a little. I'm curious if it is truly random, or if there is a trick to it.
This was an interesting survey thank you.
Well, I'm still sore about not winning to $2 bonus..
Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, please consider applying the $2.00 bonus to my payment. Thank you!
Very interesting yet a bit odd survey. I like it.
this was an interesting study. Thank you.
I liked the first question to specifically know that we were paying attention.

I have no anxiety that I would be pursued for shoplifting, not voting, lying on an anonymous survey or lying on a tax return. Shoplifting and tax fraud are persecute-able crimes but for which there is no direct evidence of my participation. I would have answered honestly without "protection". Furthermore, since I had to pick a number in my head and follow the qualifications for that number, I answered "yes" to the question about tax fraud when in reality, the answer would be no, therefore I am actually admitting to a crime I did not commit based on arbitrary instructions that do not prove whether I am lying or telling the truth.
great survey, I like the two option answers.
Very interesting, never seen anything like it before.
The concept of privacy here is hard to wrap my head around, but I am beginning to understand how it all works.
Thank you.  That was one of the smoothest surveys I have taken on mTurk.
i actually thought of the number 5 when i rolled the dice then it DID show up 5 when it came up.  i don't know how to prove it though.
I don't really have any thoughts or remarks. Regardless of the result I would of been comfortable answering any question.
Everything worked fine and there is no suggestions I can make, it is fine the way it is.

It would be easy to determine I wasn't answering the question B because one answer would not correlate with a previous answer. I don't mind that you know the answers to question A, despite them being 'bad'.
I thought it was really strange, felt weird just picking a number and not being able to give the right response on some.
Thank you. You should give me a bonus for being honest.
I didn't roll the dice. There was not an option not to roll the dice, so I just skipped it.

No, other than that it was interesting. I'd imagine with a large enough sample of questions, though, you could begin to draw meaningful conclusions even with each individual answer being ambiguous.
interesting survey. Not sure what the purpose was though.
this survey technique should be used often. It was actually a fun task.
this was a fun survey. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
This was fun. I dont understand why I had to pick a number at the end and answer the questions about my parent's birthday
My only concern with the special survey technique is there is no way of knowing what number someone has selected. So with a question like have you ever lied on a tax form someone could pick a number where they have to select yes, even if they have never lied on a tax form.
Everything worked as it was inteneded to.
Very interesting technique to make people answering feel as though they can answer completly truthfully without having their exact responses known.
The questions were easy to understand and were well written.
I think it was an interesting way to ask questions, and did the job it set out to do.
Everything is fine, and there is nothing you can change to make it better.
I knew I'd miss that dice roll....But interesting example.
I think that the special survey technique is a good idea and I think that it really does make people feel more comfortable about answering certain questions that they otherwise would not have answered as easily.
This survey was very well layed out and extreamly easy to follow. I really liked the way that it was put together and the boldened text made it easy to read the questions and answer them. The survey went very smoothly and I didn't not experience any problems.

The method of asking 2 questions that are completely different makes no sense at all.
It would be a whole lot better if this survey made some kind of sense.  Also, their was not confirmation on whether I won a bonus or not when I did get a 6 on the dice (at least that is what I saw).  The whole survey seemed strange.  I mean how can you even tell what someones answers are with that method.  Maybe I am missing something here :)
I would have been comfortable answering the questions directly even if it meant admitting to bad deeds in my past.
This was very interesting.  Thank you for the opportunity to participate.

Interesting, and unusual.  It appears that the $2 bonus is earned solely by selecting the 'got it right' option on the prediction activity, but there is no way of knowing if that was correct or not.  So I marked accurately that my prediction was incorrect and figured there would be an explanation that the activity was really a test of truthfullness and that all participants would be given the $2 bonus regardless of their answer.  I know there is value to all of the feedback you receive, so I must say I'm slightly dissapointed in myself for not lying to get the $2, but at the same time, I'm happy I told the truth.
The dice seemed to stop at 5 and then 1, so I was confused if I was supposed to count both numbers. (would have totalled 6 and given me an extra $2.)  I marked no becasue I assumed only the final number counted.

I was very pleasantly surprised when I chose 5 and the dice roll came up as 5. Hopefully that was not just a way of getting my honesty, but also will be paid.
Not at all. Thank you for the straightforward and bug-free survey, I will try to take surveys with you guys again in the future where possible.

Innovative, haven't seen it used before.
It is really interesting.  Most of the numbers had the "answer question" result, so the likelihood of providing an honest answer is pretty high.  Still though, you'd never know if one chose "yes" because one had actually done the action, or because one had chosen the corresponding number to automatically "click yes".
INteresting. / I hope I was helpful. / Thank-you

This was a great and different survey that I havent taken before. Thanks for making it easy to understand and fun
It was very interesting, and fun!  Different from the other surveys I have seen!
I think you should give a bonus to people who are honest too and don't lie about their dice prediction.
I think in order to receive true answers on the dice prediction part of the survey, you all should allow people to type in their prediction before rolling the dice. It was a wonderful survey I look forward to more.

I am somewhat curious if this survey rewards dishonest people, when it comes to the bonus dice roll.  Seeing there's no clear way to tell if the participant is being honest.

Though any protection is always "breakable", I don't think the questions that were asked would compare favorably to the time someone would need to spend to find out if the answers were correct or not.  But, this is the first time I've seen someone use this type of security, I actually thought it was a really good idea!
it was annoying in the cases in which i, by following the direction to tick yes or no regardless of the questoin, had to lie.

Yes, as far as my answers- I guess my main question would be how will you be able to determine whether or not I meant yes or no in regards to the questions I had responded to ?-  In other words, if I answered both were the same, how will you be able to determine whether that was a yes or did I actually really mean no?
I have no comments or remarks, except for this really gaining my curiousity in regards to what you are really trying to assess.

This was different and the first of its kind I have seen on here.
It was totally different than any other and interesting to do something different on here.
Umm...not sure the answers on these questions can be considered remotely valid by forcing people to choose answers that aren't true, but I suppose the point of this exercise is not to get accurate answers, nor is it to "protect" anyone's privacy.
How do you know what number I picked when answering the questions?

I think it is an interesting exercise but might not be the ultimate best way of doing things. I also think there should be an option for people who want to simply respond truly honestly throughout, if it is possible to add that without jeopardizing the rest of the exercise.

I didn't roll a 6, but I was honest.  Does that earn a bonus?  :)
I thought it was a little confusing, since the person conducting the test has no way of knowing whether you clicked "Yes" or "No" to answer the question or to follow the instructions I can't figure out what the study is for or what it tests. Interesting!
Since you have my mturk# you know who I am. With some effort you could find out what you need to interpret my answers.
You've done a good job protecting anonymity, but I'm not sure how your survey is going to be valid if you can't be sure whether anyone actually responded to the A questions.
I liked it. It did make me feel a little more comfortable answering the questions.It was also the first time I have seen this technique in a survey.
Unsure if I was required to pick a number before my dice roll.  While I did pick 6 in thought I never saw a spot to put it in.  Hopefully I didn't incorrectly do this survey.
This was an interesting survey and I enjoyed being a part of your study.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your study.
Thank you for letting me participate, I was glad to answer your questions, and I am interested, on what this study reveals.
it was great. it held my attention and was not too long. instructions are a bit weird when it came to the a or b question part and then we pick yes or no.  i got a bit confused.
I used WolframAlpha to generate "a random integer between 1 and 12", and then clicked on the generated number in the grid. In my case, it happens that I got "Answer question" each time. It is possible to design that grid so that the researcher knows where I clicked. It is also possible to observe how quickly each response is given; "Answer question" responses, if given honestly, require enough delving through memories that the slower responses might be more likely to be honest and accurate. This is why I do not believe that the technique absolutely protects my answers. There is also the possibility of man-in-the-middle attacks on the network connection (defeating HTTPS), and of course my officemate could be looking over my shoulder.
It is possible for a party to obtain public information about the participant, and then to develop information provided in a survey technique such as this.  It is UNLIKELY and DIFFICULT but NOT IMPOSSIBLE.  I doubt it is taking place in this instance.
This was a very interesting survey.  I would like to see the reslts of this, compared to ANY survey or study I have taken.  Excellent job and good luck with your study.

This was quite an interesting survey. I would love to know why you did this survey and how the new technique is helpful to get the data you need without knowing which questions were answered.
The reason surveys are the least accurate form of psychological research is that people lie. I conducted resesarch ni graduate school and I have no idea who told me the truth and who did not, and neither do you.

It was somewhat confusing and seemed uneeded.
no, I enjoyed taking this survey very much!
I do like that it allows you to choose your own number.  I also like that the researchers won't know if people had to click a 'yes' or 'no' button versus actually answering the question.
I do like that the survey gave the person taking it a chance to admitt if they had lied or told the truth about the dice game.
I love doing your surveys. They're always interesting

I was intrigued as to why you didn't have us right down our answer for the dice roll or the house number. Then I saw how the survy was set up and it's an interesting thing indeed.
I've never seen a survey done quite like this, it was interesting
I think that the participant should be able to choose the number because in housing numbers the first number tends to be on the lower end rather than the higher end.
I like the techniques in place to project respondents
It's an interesting method, and I hadn't seen it used before. I think it's quite clever.

The survey went well. I actually told my son the number I chose before the dice roll and it indeed came up 4.
Using a good deal of sleuthing and luck, you could probably figure out all the info, but overall it seems pretty solid.
I could've lied for the $2 bonus but I didn't
The survey technique was unique and I enjoyed taking it!

I'm not a statistician, but I'm a bit unclear on how accurately one could compile information from this method. I realize it's probably a conceit to study reactions, but it still seems a bit ineffective.
This felt like i was participating in a interesting riddle/game
This is a very interesting logic problem- I wish I remember the specific questions asked about birth dates to reason through it a bit more. I'm think that unless contradicting questions were asked, it shouldn't be possible to distinguish between yes&yes  no&no... very interesting design- I'm a little embarrassed that I cannot figure out exactly how it works!
Thanks, like I said earlier this was extremely engaging. I think you will consistently get reliable results with studies like this.
It would be easy to go question by question to see what the answers were.  Start with what the dice actually ruled, apply that to the question and deduce backwards from there.
It's a really interesting statistical approach. I'd love to learn more about it.
I am at home, but this is also my office.
Can I get a 2.00 bonus for being honest? (Been out of work a long time!)

it's good, but the non-private questions have ~20% chance of being true, so you have ~80% certainty of knowing my answer :)

I think maybe the technique can be revealing if there are many questions asked.
I don't have my parent's birthdays remembered perfectly off the top of my head so maybe the survey could use a question about a number that people are more likely to be certain about, such as their own birthday or their current address.
It is interesting, and have not seen it before

I like your way of keeping it very anonymous.
I don't think it necessarily protects respondents, since a certain pattern of answers on question B can be detected (for example, one's mother cannot both be born in April and in an odd month).
It was definitely interesting and new. Never seen it before.
It felt great doing the dice roll. I honestly thought of 4 and seeing it roll 4 made me throw my hands up and laugh giddily.
no math wiz here, nothing is 100% / guess you get more than average dice roll sucess / interesting twist!

I'm not sure I properly played the 'game' where I was supposed to pick a number between 1 and 12. I clicked on the number I picked before I clicked on the 'instructions' button, and then the button became grayed out. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up! I didn't realize I was supposed to click the button first because it was below the number tiles.
i found the special survey technique rather interesting and am intrigued by how you will be able to obtain the correct answers from participants.

Thank you for letting me take this survey.
No thoughts really, just tried to go with intuition.
The question where you pick a number between 1-12 was unusual. I had to guess what the correct answer was.
The a and b question were kind of ambiguous
It is very interesting.  I am wondering how many respondents have to be surveyed in order to back out the "Tick No" " Tick Yes" automatic responses.
no, this is was quick and easy.  Thank you.
I believe that this survey used an interesting technique to protect anonymity.
This was an interesting survey. The part where you play random experiments was inspiring.

That's certainly a unique approach to the problem. I'm interested in how you actually plan on using the data, though. I want to know exactly how you'll average those numbers.
I never knew my dad, so a few of those questions were impossible for me to know.
Everything was clear and well put together.
Interesting technique. But you can use an algorithim to determine if the person is lying. Also you can pull my mech turk id and backtrack to get my identity with a good spider bot. (all black SEO stuff)
Excellent survey. The pay was outstanding. Most employers drink our worker's blood like vampires. You can also make it longer for the same pay. Workers will still do it. Thank you for hiring me. It was a pleasure to work for the Swiss again.

Interesting technique. I have not had enough time to think about it in depth, but on the face of it it seems that it protects people's privacy.
If enough questions were asked then you could go back through by process of elimination and figure out the answers to the questions; however, there were not enough questions asked in this case to make that easy.

I like the idea of having a special survey technique. Protecting anonymity in regards to sensitive questions allows for respondents to respond to the question without giving a direct answer.
This was fun, sad that I didn't get  a 6, but fun. Thanks.

I don't really know how using this technique will provide you answers to your survey questions. You don't know which question I'm answering so you don't know the answer to your question. Maybe I'm missing something.
This survey was interesting and enjoyable

I guessed a 3 on the dice, but that number didn't come up.

I was happy that I did not say I chose the right dice!  /  / It made me feel good to be honest even though I know I lost 2 dollars from it!
I don't see why you wouldn't know if a survey taker cheated on reporting the dice roll. It should be very easy to use Javascript to determine what dice roll actually occurred and compare it against what the survey taker reported. With regards to the other questions, if somebody was able to obtain the survey taker's mother's birthday by other means, they should be able to determine with a high degree of confidence which set of questions he answered.
I still don't get how you will know the results, though, if everyone follows the technique.  The percentage of wrong or random answers would still be high enough to make that impossible, right?
Although I understand the reason for the technique, it seems unnecessary.  I also don't really understand how you are able to extract useful information from it.
Guess I need to learn my parents birthdates better.
I screwed up on the last question because I read it wrong.  I was honest in my response regarding my roll of the dice, but it was not that it matched my description, which is what was actually asked.

None that I can think of. Not sure how one could do research with the results since one cannot know how the questions and answers correspond.
I'd never encountered anything like this before. I thought it was interesting, and if accurate should be used by other experimenters.

I trust the survey technique..just not the NSA.
I wanted to cheat so bad to get the $2. I even went to Reddit HWTF to see what others had done.
I used the website provided to check if I had done this survey before. It said that I had not and then said that my device (an iPhone) was suitable for completing this study. However, when I took the study there was no number that appeared when I first rolled the virtual dice
I think that it was a rather interesting way to handle things.
This is the most though provoking task I have completed with mTurk, and would really love to see where you are going with this study. As a psychology buff, this is great stuff!
As I said in the previous comment, this is really though provoking, and kind of spooky. Really awesome work here.
nope thanks found it interesting the different questions
it is an interesting concept I wonder how much extra work is involved on the back side
the button for show letter did not function that I could tell
While it does protect anonymity, it seems that it would also be difficult to determine truthful answers.

I thought this was interesting and I loved the dice game. I was shocked when the number I was thinking actually popped up on the dice. First time for everything and Happy Holidays.
Good survey, please contact me if you have more surveys. Thank you.
I think the survey technique makes it challenging to find out the true answers to the questions.
I enjoyed taking part in the survey. Thank you!
If your service takes down IP address information, I imagine that, given the information gathered in other places, it would be easy to determine who someone is, and thus their mother, and thus the relevance of the information given in the latter part of the survey. /  / When asked a meta question about a survey, it makes people much more likely to reread the question more carefully. But I assume that you know that.
It was really interesting to try and imagine what each question was actually geared toward finding out.
The results would be faulty if you only asked yes or no questions and were unable to find out which question was answered.
This was super fun! Thanks for the opportunity and I hope I was of help :)
Very interesting study - I enjoyed it.  Thank you!
Its very interesting to know researchers are studying all aspect of human behavior.
I imagine that giving the example number as '3,' especially after the 1-6 die game will tend to bias people towards the numbers 1-5 more than 6-9. I know that's how it went with me.
I was excited because My guess really was 4, but then I realized you guys never asked us to type a guess
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/30.0.1599.101 Safari/537.36
While I would assume that everyone who goes through the random roll of the die will say they guessed correctly, I was being honest in that I was thinking the number 3.  No reason for one to believe me but I was being honest!
The actions I was required to make prior to being asked the question, compelled me to tell the truth.  I wondered too if that had something to do with the patterns of numbers and their assignments; where they were placed in sequence to each other.  I was compelled to be honest and your first question was a doozy, but a good one too.  Even as children most of us have taken something that didn't belong to us.  /  /
I felt uneasy answering questions about my moms bday.  You've narrowed it down quite a bit. Good survey.

I told the truth, but didn't "win" the dice game. Any chance I can still get the $2?
The special survey tecniique would not be an aid but should not be used as a method of acquring factual data.
I thought it was quite original and had never heard of it before now. It was interesting and made me feel comfortable about being completely honest, though I am always honest with surveys.
Everything went smoothly and I understood everything, thank you.

I'd rather be exact with answers on surveys. Researchers have paid me for honest datat input. In almost all cases, researchers mentioned that it was critical to pay attention to questions and statements as only accurate data was to be helpful to the findings of their research.
You are correct, the next to last question was indeed strange. Interesting survey.

This is a spin-off on statistics and probability - something we learned about truth telling/lying from respondents, although responses were anonymous.
I didn't understand how the data collected from it is usable since it seems like the answers will all be random.
Was interesting the process of elimination it kind of seemed.
it really depends on how many questions are asked. if I keep answering questions the less protected I feel
It's interesting.  /  / But with IP logging and Mturk User IDs, all this information could be broken down into something much more harmful. /  / Nice try at it, but nothing on the internet is Anonymous. /  / Everything is tracked, just ask the FBI, NSA, and CIA.
Not really, it was fun... I'll say that. /  / Also a little different. /  / I don't mind being a Statistic for a small monetary payment in return.
This was interesting but I wonder why we picked a number that gave us a letter.  I am confused :)
Interesting twist, though it feels like the security depends on your faith in the system.
Always interesting! Some of the best out there, and not just from a payment standpoint. Whatever you're doing, keep it up.

I thought it was neat being able to discern answers by omission of others.
It was an interesting method. I'm guessing it involves using the fact that there was always 1 question that has a 50% chance of yes/no to filter out the results somehow.

I thought it was very fun please if you have any more let me know at dcoliver1215@gmail.com i did the best i could Please do not reject.
I think it generally works fine, simply because the number of people that share the similar birthyear with similar mother's birthdate is enough to only narrow things down, not to identify.

I suppose it could work, I just don't quit get it.  I'd probably need an example of how it is used to fully understand it.
That was awesome! I was for sure I was going to get that dice roll wrong, but was super excited when I got it right. Had you put a box before the dice roll for me to enter my prediction I could have proven it! =(
There is always more than one way to skin a cat. If someone set their mind to it and really wanted to know they could. If I knew for example a persons parents birthdays then I could deduce if they lied about their taxes. That is if they responded to the survey truthfully.
Only questions that I will never know the answers to. Like what was this all about? haha. One of the more mystic surveys I have done.

With the mother's birthday questions, I can see how the surveyor can basically triangulate the answers regarding the months. If the tester told the truth about the mother's birthday, some of the question would relate to each other. But it is a very fun and hard to crack way for security!

Weird - this technique doesn't seem like a very good method for gathering information.

No remarks, but I hope there is an actual chance to win the $2 bonus because I answered all questions honestly, and read all the directions very carefully!
While I answered honestly, I suspect that the number of people whom understand the anonymity of surveys will answer dishonestly. Sadly, that will give just as much scientific data as honest answers if that is what you are measuring for.
An interesting take on privacy. I like it.
Noticed when I clicked to roll the die I got a 6 and just as I clicked to report it was a 6 it had changed to a 1....

I don't see how anyone would know if your responses were correct or not unless they sat here with you, and knew the numbers you selected.  It is an interesting way of doing a survey.

I enjoyed the survey. It was different than others and wasn't boring.
This is the first time I have ever taken a survey with the ability to answer two questions using "identical" or "different".
Thought the alternative question was of a sensitive nature I assumed it'd be more controversial
I liked that there was some chance to it, almost gambling, with the roll of the die.
Please let me know if I can help you again in the future.

its a good privacy matter. However, was the subject of the answers really what you are looking for? Or rather just bogus questions and you are gauging how we feel about the "privacy" ?  : )
Interesting! Thanks for a pleasant experience.
I feel ashamed about stealing things from stores when I was a child.  I haven't done so in 40+ years, but I answered honestly.
I don't get how reasearchers get answers they are looking for using this technique.
The survey technique sounds smart. The only doubt I would have would be internet security in general, but that has to do with browsers and day-to-day normal internet security.
I hope I helped your study! There were some intriguing questions. I hope I did it right. Good luck with your study!
the results that are complied would not be an accurate measure of answers to the real questions as the fake - mother's birthday- questions are mixed into the pool with no way of recording the inaccurate responses.
I hope I didn't miss out on $2 for being honest :/
I'm curious as to what the point is but other than that, No.

It seems somewhat pointless...you can't really find anything out using that technique and asking only four questions, so I don't see the purpose of it.
The survey seemed a little bizarre, but I'm sure you have some very good logic behind the weird questions, thank you!
It was a little confusing on the when is your dad born... I never knew my father so I wasn't exactly sure... so I guessed. but i might have second guesseed myself again
not everyone knows things about their family, you shouldn't ask things like that
Very interesting...It does make one feel better about answering those kinds of questions
You are assuming the respondents are answering truthfully when you suggest they are protected - this is not a wise assumption.
The only thing that wasn't as private was the year of birth, but everything else was quite well protected.
I liked the yes and no questions.  survey ran well. good luck with your research and have a happy thanksgiving......
thank your for the chance to help you with your  research......

I think i mistakenly skipped  a question...i thought i'd clicked on the radial button, but once i clicked on "next" i looked up and it must not have registered. I'm sorry.
At first i didn't understand the technique, but when i did it turned out to be fun.

Without you actually knowing anything about my parents, I don't see how it gave you much information.
It was interesting though I don't see how the information would be very helpful in any kind of study. I would like to participate in more of your surveys.
It was different and exciting. I did not get bored.
Thank you for making this survey unique. It was quite entertaining.

I found this survey to be more enjoyable and interesting than the average survey on Mechanical and Turk.
Perhaps too much trust is placed in respondents' honesty in complying.
i wonder was there ever really a shot at the two dollar bonus?  cause i mean you are just taking peoples words for it. not everyone would be as honest as me
I honestly feel indifferent towards it, but I don't see how it will help researchers with getting answers to their questions.
This was fun to take and interesting because I didn't know what to expect. It kept me interested. Thank you!
No other response, it was a unique technique that i havent seen before.

Just that this is the first time I've ever seen this done and I'm curious to know how statistically accurate mean responses will be.
I could see how the questions could be tailored to determine a person's responses to the sensitive questions, but it would be tricky to do so.
Interesting. I thought about rerolling the dice until I got a 6 but didn't consider lying about it
I have never taken a survey quite like this before. I enjoyed it very much.
Keep them coming, I enjoy working with you!!
I would have answered the sensitive questions directly as I already assumed my answers would be anonymous.

Interesting technique.  Can be taken either way though.  You could think that I'm a horrible person or an angel based on identical answers for the pair.
I'm not sure how accurate the special survey technique is. I didn't mind using it but I don't see how it can be accurate. I wonder if there was another purpose to the technique?
I'm very baffled at what you are trying to learn here but I was happy to participate. Thank you!
It's an interesting technique, not sure how many people are actually convinced and full followed the instructions,
I didn't read the questions I wasn't supposed to answer, so it is possible that questions were repeated or opposite questions were asked. If this were the case, you could potentially determine if someone was telling the truth or not.

The part that gets me is that there is no way to enter the number I had in my head.  I did pick the number 5 and it did come up but I just don't get how you can trust people to be honest about that.  I get the protection in the general survey but the dice thing stumps me.  It would be better for you to have a place to enter that number to keep your workers honest.  I mean I'm happy to get the $2 but I wish there was a place to have entered my number. I know I was honest but it almost makes me feel guilty to have won that game!
This was interesting but I'd like to know what you were trying to discover.  Whether it was the answers to the questions or the technique.  Either way it was very interesting..
It took me maybe 20 dice rolls to get a six.  I believe there's a possibility nobody rolls a six the first time around so you already know whether or not somebody cheats if they answer yes.  The survey thereby would detect whether somebody's a liar or not.

I don't know the statistical possibilities involved in the survey technique, but it seemed to offer a fair degree of anonyminity, even if it is not foolproof.
The survey itself was a little confusing, and required attention to detail, and that made the task seem to proceed quickly.  It was well presented with clear instruction, and no technical glitches.
I trust that it did provide privacy but the survey could just be saying that and could maybe tell somehow on your end.
Well, there were two questions that were about whether my mother's birthday was in an odd month, or an even month. If someone gave the same answer to those two questions, that would indicate that they either were not paying attention, lying, or answering question A. Still fun though!
I think it was really interesting and well worth my time, but I think it is possible to determine whether someone was answering Question A or Question B, assuming they are honest.
I have never encountered this technique and I wonder what information can possibly be gleaned from survey results.
I love your HITs very user friendly and fun

This survey was very interesting! Thank you!
Be careful, I'm sure a lot of people will lie to you and say they rolled a 6 just to get a bonus. Sadly I did not but I also didn't say I did. I can just see a lot of people taking advantage of  that. I hope your tracking it somehow.
see other space where it let me provide a remark.
I was wondering how you would make sense out of the responses.
I might be wrong, but as many streets are long enough to require addresses containing three digits, but few are long enough to get to the 600s, a large majority of people will pick an address that starts with 1-5 and answer the first set of questions...

it is simple to check the java script to see which questions got answered
I'm a bit intrigued of what this is actually trying to accomplish.
I like it and provides a different way of gathering information for research and makes the survey taker feel at ease.
To be clear, in the $2 dice game i never saw any dice, got a message saying i couldn't hit the back button and since I always have bad luck, I assumed I did not roll a 6.

It doesn't make sense,NAND I don't see how it creates reliable data.
It was definitely new to me. Thanks for showing me the technique.
It was interesting but not sure how you can collect accurate data this way.
I don't understand how this was scored but I am sure that you guys had a reason for setting the questions up the way that you did. Thanks for the reward!
If it perfectly protects and you don't know which is true (of the Yes/No questions based on the number choice), then how can the answers to those questions be considered reliable research? Unless they quietly actually focus solely on this feedback and the questions about anonymity...
I think if your goal is to confuse workers, you have succeeded. A brief explanation of why certain sections were posed in the way that they were might help, for your own consciousness's sake of providing clarity to your own participants. I have to ask if a good deal of these questions are nothing more than bait, in a sense, for the answers to certain other questions in the test... but I guess I'll never know. Anyway, here are your results from this participant.
Interesting survey. Better than most. Keep it up!
When you said don't look up it made it a lot tougher.
This was bizarre, but fun.  Thanks for letting me take part!
I think that there is probably a way to tell which set of questions a person is answering, but I'm not very good at figuring out problems like that, so I couldn't say for sure how you can tell this.
This survey was great because it wasn't long.  This survey was short and sweet. but got to the point.  I liked the combined answer feature.  I look forward to doing more in the future.

I've never seen this in other surveys and it's probably a great way to make people feel even more secure in answering even though I feel that the way our IDs are set up is pretty secure as well.
Thank you for posting- I clicked on the 11 box on accident and couldn't read the instructions so guessed at the next step below. Crud. I hope this doesn't get me a rejection. Sorry.
Since I have been told, through other surveys, that it is possible for the researchers to know information about me through the MTURK site, I doubt that the "special survey technique" works that well.
Very different from previous survey's I have taken, I really like how the responses protect sensitive answers to specific questions. Although all survey's are supposed to be confidential, you really never know who may be running the survey and could share your answers! Good job! =)
I think it could provide false information and results.
This survey kept my attention and am glad I was able to partake.
this was a fun survey.  quick and entertaining. keep making more!
Very interesting, still not quite sure how that provides accurate data for you.
Since you (the surveyor) inform Amazon whether to pay me based solely on whether you think I completed the survey thoroughly; Amazon does not disclose personal information to you, and you have not asked me any questions which identify me personally, the only way I could be identified personally  is for the Amazon database and your database to be hacked thoroughly enough to cross reference me.  I don' t think that is likely to happen, or that my answers were important enough for anyone to bother doing that even if they did manage to break into both databases.
I was a little confused to see the dice game so early in the survey, because I had the impression it would be at the end.

It was certainly among the more unique methods I've seen to try and conceal sensitive information, but I am not sure it is more effective than other methods.
Hello I really liked this questionnaire, I answered honestly to the dice question. I predicted 5 and got a 3 so I was wrong. Watch out for some people who try to lie and say it was right . Cheaters! Keep up the good work (:
Some people do not identify as either male or female, and the options listed in the gender question should reflect that reality.

I was a bit curious as to how many people would tell the truth vs lie in order to get the extra money.
Since there's no absolute way to know which question the user was answering, there's no way to prove whether or not the person was doing any sort of illegal activity.

It took me a few minutes to get what you were getting at, but once it clicked, it was easy.

it was a very interesting survey and I'm sure it made a lot of people think about themselves more
I thought it was rather clever to have you keep it all in your mind.
Just wanted to say that I thought it was fun and well written. It was very easy to understand.
I really liked the question in the beginning that tested whether or not respondents pay attention. I thought that was a clever way to ensure respondents pay more attention to the questions. I enjoyed taking this survey, I don't have any critical feedback. Thanks!

I was bit nervous that the dice roller was an honesty test and that the person reading this will think I failed but two was my guess.
The "Got it" part of the beginning I thought was a cool idea.
I didn't understand the special survey technique. I just followed the directions of the number I picked.
I'll be honest, in theory, I understand a very vague concept of what your "special survey technique" is supposed to be.  However, and perhaps this is the point of the survey, rather than put in a lot of thought to think about whether or not it is as plausible as you say, I chose to just trust what you are saying is true.
I am very interested in learning what exactly this survey was trying to prove.  I found your questions to be just confusing enough that I can't even postulate a hypothesis as to what this was in regards to.  I do appreciate the fact that this has been unlike any other survey/study I've participated in.
I thought it was very interesting and I like playing the game.
Thank you for letting me take this survey it was a learning experience.

I personally don't see how that method of asking questions could be both accurate and free from errors.
I think the bonus should be available in some way to those who did not lie about their number in the dice game or there should be some other way to make it more fair. I wasn't going to lie about something so petty for a few extra dollars and I'm sure I'm in the minority.
It's a very curious method I haven't seen before on any survey.
Not really. It seems like it might make the data a bit less clear on your end.

It was interesting, but it is 3:04 AM so i wasn't amused or fascinated by the technique. Also, it did a fairly terrible job at guessing my parent's birthday.
I don't like it--it pretty much ensures that your data set is going to be composed of falsified answers, and I don't like having to say that I lied when I didn't.
I wish I could read your findings someday.

I don't really understand the math behind it, but I understand the purpose.
This survey technique is more useful to the participant taking the survey and not really for the researchers. As the researchers have no way of knowing what was in the participants  mind when choosing answers.
I do not have any comments at this time.
I understand how the survey technique can protect us however, I don't know how you'd know you got the correct answer if the instruction changes every time. That being said a forensic investigator could just pull all of this information out of the computer from this side easily enough. For the record, the risk is not worth cheating on your taxes or shoplifting.  /  / Also in case you are interested, even though I knew I should pick 6 on the dice roll, I picked 2 anyway... turned out to be six.
No but I do want to take this time to say I hope you "Have A Great Holiday Season".
Thank you for making this a fun and interesting survey.
Did I win the $2 bonus for being honest?

Very interesting and fun. I wish more surveys on mturk would use it. lol. / Seems like a bit of a magic trick, too.
I thought it was clever, but there's still some way to figure out what the answers are to the sensitive question because it's a yes or no question.
The survey was one of the more interesting ones I've taken.
I like the way this is set up to protect my responses.
This is the coolest survey I have ever seen.
I think that it makes all answers irrelevant, since you don't actually answer the question each time.

I'm not sure how you can extrapolate useable data with this technique, but I guess you can get something of value or you wouldn't be researching. In theory, if you had the name of the Turker taking the survey it might be possible through public records to find the parents birthday. It's highly improbable a breach would happen. It would be a lot of trouble just to catch someone telling a $2 lie. But still, there is the tiny spark of possibility this technique is not 100 percent safe.
Very interesting. Thanks for the opportunity to help your research project. Best of luck.

I appreciate this survey's well-written and easily understood questions.
I think it was effective in protecting privacy because the questions allowed you to answer honestly without having a strong connection to which questions you were answering.  Had their been more questions in that series, I might have felt less protected in my answers.
There may be an explanation a the end of this survey, but I would be curious to know the purpose of the study besides the answering techinique (if there was one).  Also, I'm curious as to how this survey would be able to know if someone lied about the bonus question.
Not sure how you will quantify the data, but it does protect privacy.

just curious as to the purpose of the mothers birthday quedtions as its only seeming relavance would be to try to make someone taking this survey that their true identity is neing narrowed down

The special survey technique is dependant on a persons honesty. I understand how important research is and approach all of my HITs with honesty. Anyone who reads the directions for this particular HIT would have done the same. However, there really is no way of knowing whether someone lied in order to recieve the $2 bonus. There is no way of telling whether or not people answer the sensitive questions honestly either.
This was an interesting HIT. Again I think it would be very difficult to assess whether people lie to achieve gains or not. I believe this HIT was about honesty. All parts of the HIT worked as they were supposed to. This HIT is different than any I've ever taken. I hope I was able to give you all the information that you are seeking. Thanks for the HIT!

unusual combination of questions, particulary about mother's birthday
I wish more people would provide honest answers on HITS like this survey.  While your attempt to keep answers anonymous, I question the technique, though I'm honestly not a math whiz and it could work very well.
This was a fun survey and I answered all questions honestly.  I will continue to look for your surveys when I search for HITS to accept.

I believe that the survey designers could only determine a participant's identity with the aid of Amazon.  I am not sure whether Amazon is allowed to give this information out, but I believe that it is very unlikely.
no - but I'm very intrigued as to what this study is about.
working from home (loosely employed, through a developer on MTurk)
Someone with access to the data would be able to determine with, say, 91.6% certainty (with a birth month question) what any one respondant's answer was. I don't actually care since none of those answers were particularly private for me, but someone who does care might be pretty uneasy about it.
It was pretty weird and probably the only study I've ever done in any context where I didn't have any idea at all what the study was trying to determine. Nicely done, friends
You know what I "rolled", thus you can figure out if my father's birthday is in Jan or Feb.  based on my answer.  The questions actually seemed LESS "protective" of privacy than if you'd just asked them outright.  (If a person answers them honestly, of course.)
I have completed some questionnaires for you, but this study intrigues me because I don't quite know the purpose.
No, it felt like takinig a test in school

I do not know how it protects information or identities--I just trust what the creators of the survey say about it being secure.
I rather enjoyed this survey more so than other mturk ones, thank you!
I am not an unintelligent person, but I was totally confused by that thing with the two questions.
Did anyone roll a six or was that just a tease?

Nothing is safe from the NSA, so any promises of anonymity are null and void. I am uncomfortable with the fact that I could not say outright that I haven't shoplifted etc. and instead have to play your silly game. Because I am innocent I have no interest in your ridiculous game.
I feel like the "protections" with the answers are bizarre. How does that "protect" you if you can't just say outright that you have never shoplifted? The way you have it, I could just as well be guilty as innocent. Don't forget--thought crime is now a punishable offense. Very uncomfortable with this survey.
I thought the special survey technique was a very good one and helped in feeling comfortable answering sensitive questions.
Was new and different and so took some time to respond to questions.

I am completely shocked about the roll dice I am not sure if they think everyone will pick 3 because it is the middle number.
I wasn't following the "b" questions too closely, but I'm quite sure you can deduce which set I ansered... Otherwise, there wouldn't be much point in asking...
Nice length of survey, easy to focus on it while taking. Thanks!
Not quite sure how it made use of the answers with the special survey technique.
Maybe a better way for people to predict their answers by guessing them first so they can be recorded, unless of course the survey is about telling the truth.
Yes I do, happy thanksgiving, I love you.
Really creative, enjoyed the privacy protection, thank you
Why not ask what our guess on the dice game is before the roll?
One of the questions says something like "does this survey absolutely protect..." but then gives choices on a scale.  Shouldn't it be Yes or No?
It seems like most addresses begin with numbers 1-5 in my experience, so I'm not completely certain how fair that is, but you can be sure all of my answers are completely honest.
While I'm relatively confident of the anonymity, I'm not sure how well any results obtained can be shown to be trustworthy due to the inherent uncertainty.
A little confused, but sort of get how it works
Easy and fast. The survey made sure that I read every question completely
While there were some strange questions, I would say overall it was a good survey. On a side note, the questions that have options from strongly agree to strongly disagree, I would recommend having an even number of choices as from a marketing position, you would have better information from these sets of questions as some people will simply pick the middle instead of picking a side.
I really like this and may try to use something similar in the future

As the questions about my mother's birthday got more specific, I started to trust the survey less and less. Had there been any more, I probably would have started lying in the responses, because it was getting uncomfortably close to providing enough information to narrow down the actual date.
When it came to the dice roll, no dice were showing up for me. It turned out that my browser was blocking everything from a server and preventing the die from showing up. I remedied the problem, but because if it, it wasn't until my third roll that I actually saw a number come up (it was not a six, and since the first roll is the one that counts and I honestly have no idea what my first roll was, I reported that it was not a six because there is an 83.3% chance it was not a six).
I think it is overkill, but may make people comfortable about answering sensitive questions.

I believe the answers can be decoded by something of a mathematical equation.
I think the special survey technique is unique and it protects sensitive information in a new way.
This survey is pretty cool because it's different from the other surveys I've taken but makes me a little nervous , I  don't know why.
I have never participated in a survey like this before and I enjoyed it.
My favorite part of this survey was the number task.
Participating in your survey was quite fascinating, as it was complex and leaves me wondering what you're studying. I'm intrigued. Additionally, I'm grateful for the opportunity to earn some money by participating in something that is both fun and meaningful. Thank you; have a blessed day!!

In this day and age everyone can be tracked down by their IP so it doesn't really matter anymore what you do. But, I appreciate that you guys are trying.
Suggestion: There should be more test questions in the survey to filter out people who don't read the questions or instructions.
I feel that it helped anonymity, but I do not understand why it was done.
I hope when you aggregate your data, you control for the possibility that people might tend to choose certain numbers more often. /  / Your technique reminded me of a firing squad in which one gun fires blanks.
very interesting survey, kept me interested doing the entire thing.
Without having studied it to any extent, it seems that it may not provide you with much accurate data.
I don't know if my comment will be helpful to you but here it is.. / Thus far I feel that I am contributing more to your studies than when I contribute to other studies. Also, random prediction is an activity that I am attracted to, and usually do quit well at. This was no exception. I noticed in this study, that you revealed what the acronym "ETH" stands for. Could it be that people from certain blood lines have common tendencies in the way that they think, certain interests, level of creativity which in turn may lend to broader possibilities of experience than those that are commonly accepted in most societies?

No. I haven't taken a lot of surveys, but it seems to be a creative method.
I am intrigued by the dice part of this servey. It makes me wonder how honest people are in that situation. Pretty neat concept to think about.
I enjoyed the special survey technique in that I was not giving my answer to you, so that it wasnkept anonymous.  First survey ive taken like this.
Not at all except I don't know how you will know any of the answers.
I thought this was a pretty fun survey!  :)

Thanks for the HIT, was very unique and fun.
I do find this valuable do to the proof that you can get by the number on dose
This survey was interesting and I can see that it is thight on showing the honesty, which I think is very wise because a high average play it like a game.
None. The survey was presented pretty accurately .
Something is fishy about the whole thing.
Do you get the $2 bonus if you actually rolled a six on the dice, or if you said that you rolled a six in the question?
I think answering questions honestly would be simpler
i'm curious to read more about that method...
it was interesting.  i've never seen a survey set up quite like this.  i'm curious to learn more about your methods, and the way the questions were set up in teh second half, with the "identical" and "different' responses...
It doesn't seem to protect anyone. If someone says "yes" to whether their mother's birthday is on an even-numbered day, it could just as easily be taken to mean "yes" to stealing something. The people reading the survey results don't seem to have a way of knowing for sure which question was being answered, and so it could be suspected that a person has shoplifted rather than that their mother's birthday is on an even-numbered day.
I did not find the sensitive questions to be particularly sensitive.
It was pretty good. I'm not sure if I can leave feedback later in the survey, so I / need to say that the $2 dice gane did not work for me. Instead, it just reloaded the / page and told me "you cannot use the back button in your browser while taking this / survey". Thank you.
The $2 dice game did not work for me, so I picked "yes" when it asked me if I rolled a 6 so I could get past the question.

I'm assuming that the dice roll was recorded. Even if that is so and you guys have an actual record of this happening... I still feel the need to justify myself as having rolled a six, hah!

I would tell you why I answered moderately to the first section of this answer but that would further jeopardize my anonymity.

You can't determine for sure whether someone has shoplifted or cheated on their tax return because of the special survey technique, but you can determine whether they did with some level of confidence because for each question, most of the numbers told the respondent to actually answer the question rather than to just tick 'Yes' or 'No'.
Very interesting technique, but I'm not sure how useful it is.

Not really I believe I understood it all.
It would be nice to get the bonus I was honest and did not lie but I understand either way.
It's an interesting technique, because it can still give somewhat reliable numbers depending on the options that people chose for each question.

you cant conclude which questions had yes or no answers because my fathers bday is in january and i did answer honestly on the dice game so my answer of yes to both those questions is identical. But what if the team viewing this survey decides to think my response was no to both questions? therefore you cannot really get the correct answers for the questions with this method employed.
Just that the dice game seems a tad unfair, should get to roll 3times as a chance to win. Also not pleased with the way the questioning was where it said to either put identical or different. As i stated before, theres no way of knowing for sure whos answers are yes or no to the questions asked with that method employed. Just different and odd to me I suppose....
No, I don't have any remarks on the special survey technique.
No, the survey was good overall and was very user friendly.

I thought that the A and B questions answered together would be more effective if more questions were asked.
I really liked the A and B questions - an interesting approach to anonymity. Nice job.
In some regards, I feel that it could help but I feel that it would ruin your data to some degree, but in truth I feel that the information presented might not have been relevant to the actual study any regard.
This questionnaire was pretty fun in comparison to some that I've participate in. I know that when you are taking data, having the participant being somewhat entertained could be looked down upon but I apperciate it in the grand shceme of things.
No...but I'm curious how many people are truthful about the dice roll.
Also curious if those last questions helped you figure out the truth of my other answers.... which I'm ok with.

I thought it was strange to just pick someone i know for a birthday date.
I do not, it was interesting though and fun to fill out.
That was fun! and I really did guess the number on the dice right. This was one of the best surveys I've taken. Short, interesting, and fun.
I thought it could have been more indepth.
Very different. Liked this technique quite a bit!
I was surprised when the dice roll number matched my prediction !!!!  /
No. I actually did enjoy taking this survey. Can I still have two dollars? Haha
How can you gather real information about such activities when half the respondants are talking about their mother's birthday?
No, but the dice roll did not work on my samsung galaxy note.

None that come to mind. Thanks for letting me take part.
Thanks for the survey.  Very interesting and well layed out.
The technique gives no extra security, although I believe that the survey itself is completely secure. The survey technique is completely dependent on the honesty of the participant, as far as I can see.

I think that it was designed to make participants think they were safe but really it was getting info. The questions about yor mother's birthdate were not to general.
Not so much...it doesn't seem like the easiest way to get answers.
Quite interesting - wish I could really understand but then again statistics and mathematics are not my strong point... neither is logic for that matter. I am guessing that all three play a role in ascertaining the appropriate numbers for the purpose of analyzing the survey information.
Very interesting survey. I am very curious how the "super secret" aspect of the questions worked.

I think you sensitize a respondent by stating that you are asking private questions. It makes a respondent more cautious than otherwise.
Short and sweet. So, it had my full attention.

I'm rather curious as to whether the $2 reward is misleading information or if you actually gave it to those who responded yes.
Loved this survey! It was great to do. Thank you.
I think this is an excellent way to ask questions about sensitive topics. The only way someone would know my response was if they knew me personally anyway and also knew the information about my parents, highly unlikely.
Because of the uniqueness of the birthday related questions, and the fact that they made me think about how to answer them, rather than a straight yes or no, I was actually looking forward to answering more. This is the first survey that I can say was actually fun.
Thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed this survey!

Interesting, but wouldn't this skew your results tremendously?
I do not have any particular thoughts on the survey technique.
no just wish I could have gotten the 2 dollar bonus truthfully it would have made my day. but other then that the survey wasn't to bad
Worked well, a little more explination about which questions are for which person would help out a lot.

Interesting way to do it. Haven't seen it before.
i would have told you directly about shoplifting and voting without the number guessing game.
I'm betting that a very high percentage of street addresses start with 1-6.
I  understand the likely hood of being able to know how hey responded to the questions. How do you tho understand if the person's parents really do land on the small window given? My mother was born Feb. 2 but I understand not many people will really land in that window given..
See previous section for my concerns on the small windows that could your assumptions.
It seems like this technique makes it actually more difficult to garner accurate results.
The $2 bonus was interesting. Anyone could lie and claim the $2 dollars. I took a different approach and was actually honest with my response, regardless of the bonus. Of course, I still want the $2, but I felt like honesty would give your survey the best results.
I feel as if, without knowing personal detail about myself, that the submissions I made will give you relatively inconclusive results.
For some reason this questionnaire made me feel slightly uneasy.
It's interesting, looks like an exercise in following instructions more than anything else.
It's an fun little survey. I wouldn't change it.
Very fun questionnaire! Would love to do more with you all in the future!
It's a good idea, but it's highly unlikely that someone's birthday is going to be the 1st through the 6th of a January or February, so the answer to the first question is most likely no
It's a higher level of precaution than I'm used to. I would have given the same information without the additional protection.

Great questionnaire, though it focusing SO much on whether or not we trusted its security, almost made me start to question it.

Unanonymized data can determine a person's identity with 75% to 99% accuracy. - I mean you do have my AMT number and if I wrote a bad thing on turkopticon with the same feedback that I gave on one of your HITS, you could be vindictive and block me, which is a very bad thing because you wouldn't just be blocking me for you but for ever and ever never again able to work on AMT for the rest of my life. ( Yes this happened to me but since was first block ever - I wasn't banned forever) When blocked not only could be fired forever but any money in the AMT till will not be able to use.
I know around what time the b-day of my folks are.  I would have to sit down and do the math for the year. For Thanksgiving read the book "Fear Up Harsh" by Tony Lagouranis.  I always wondered why Q's were asked when already know the answers. Now I know it's just FUBAR & SNAFU /  /
The way you went about asking sensitive questions was really interesting. Definitely a clever means of going about asking those types of things.
I thought it was a nice way to ask the questions
I liked it, it was different and the way it kept changing held my interest.
Not at this time.  The questionnaire was very clear and interesting.
I don't think it protects survey respondents at all.  The questions seemed geared towards everyone answering question A.
Enjoyed the tasks and the security features
Interesting, thought provoking survey actually

I had never seen that before and I've been thinking of various questions using its method which I find very fun!
By guessing a number and then, using that number to answer the question is very clever.

The  Survey was very instresting. Thank you.
it was different. I was surprised that I did pick what I would roll. I was prepared to admit if I was wrong
An interesting technique. It seems confusing for you the researchers to interpret the results though.
It was interesting; I haven't seen it used on any other study before.
Nope, everything was reasonably explained.
Unique and interesting way of questioning

Very interesting and I hope you can get useful data from it because that seems complicated.
I really liked the questioning techniques.
The questioning techniques were very impressive.
I haven't taken mTurk surveys in a while but I haven't seen it before...
To be honest, I wasn't sure how it worked.  It didn't make a lot of sense to me how thinking of a number then answering the question which was "yes/no" was any different from simply picking yes or no at random.
It was a bummer I couldn't guess the dice roll right...
It seems like a 50% chance to figure out the answers to people's questions.
This was a very different survey, and I very much enjoyed how it was set up. Very interesting.
I'm not really sure how it works, but I would have answered the questions honestly, whether or not it was anonymous.
It didn't say what the technique was, just that it was used.
I liked the survey, hopefully you guys will keep posting more like this one.

I thought it was intriguing and varied enough to keep things interesting!
The dice roll question was tempting! The survey was interesting and well designed. I had no problem paying attention.
after determining my special number and answering the questions, it was like magic that those questions were asked later as a reference.  very good survey, very interesting too, lots of fun!
The survey was fun and interesting, as noted previously the "special protection" part of the survey was fun, sneaky sneak you guys lol
I liked the "protective measures" it was creative and has not been seen before by me.
I like this survey, it was fun. Thank you
It's an original survey technique. I found it a little easier to answer the questions together, and felt my privacy wouldn't be breached.
Not at all, I think it's something to either throw off participants and is completely irrelevant. I didn't really pay much attention to how many of the "tick no/yes automatically" options there were, I just focused on the number, but it doesn't seem like a very practical way to protect each answer and still get an accurate aggregate. Maybe it's over my head, hence my "not at all" answer.
So confused. Maybe that means this worked well.
It was easy to understand and seems effective.
Everything was clear and easy to understand.
You folks always post good work. It's much appreciated.
Not really, I guess I am wondering the real point of the survey however it the special survey technique really works?  After all, if you are supposed to automatically tick yes or no rather than answer a question what is that actually telling you in the survey?
The last questions really threw me as to how they correspond with the rest of the survey.  This was one of the more interesting surveys I have done lately but I am not sure what information you can gather from it.

It is really just a matter of trust. These days there are lots of ways people can deceive each other online. I chose to trust you all because I have had good experiences before with your studies. I do not know enough about your technique to understand it completely, which is typical for many things one does day to day in the 2010s.
I thought that it was well written, clearly explained, and visually appealing. The only thing I would change is that the curve of a building shown in blue (at the top of the screen) looks chopped off and awkward, which gives a sense of discomfort to the viewer. /  / This is one of the more pleasant groups to take studies with because you make them so reasonable. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
This survey I found to be rather interesting...
This was actually an entertaining survey! Thank you for the opportunity!
I'd love to see far more from you guys. You pay well for the time and make it a bit fun. Love the little "gambling" element. Please see if you can set up mailing lists for those of us who'd like to do as many of your HITs as possible!
I read over both questions.  My answer to one of the "A" was yes, but "B" was no.  With my "secret number" i chose the answer randomly.  There is no way you could know what I did or did not answer truthfully, which I did, however, I don't see how these results could be complied.  There is no "control" over the answers.  Very interesting to see what you are going to do with this...

This is a technique that I have not seen before and I think it would nice to see more widespread use, especially with sensitive questions like these.
The only reason I chose "quite a bit" is because it is relatively unlikely that someone is born in 1/6 (Jan/Feb) or 1/5 (1st-6th) of the year, so "Identical" on average means "No" and "Different" on average means "Yes." But for particular respondents, it seems quite safe!
This was a very unique survey and has some very good psychology techniques.
This is pretty neat, unless I'm being tricked. :P
This was a little unusual. I hope there's a debriefing after it. :) Interesting survey!
That was really interesting had never seen that done before, I really liked it. It made me think.

This was an interesting questionnaire. I would like to know what results you get from it.
Cool dice game! Interesting survey, definitely would do something of similar caliber again!
I never get lucky and you picked my favorite number...so thank you for the bonus. I am quite excited.
You should throw in some dummy questions telling your participants which answer to select to make sure they're paying attention.
I didn't bother to pay attention to the survey technique. I just took the survey.
I like the idea of the A and B questions and how it is not clear which question a person is answering
The technique, as described, would probably be effective. However, without examining the actual code for the survey, the respondent has no way of being certain that his/her answers are truly anonymous.
Kind of confusing. How would you know if we answered Question A or B?
Even without knowing the answer to the first question, using probability you an infer the answer to the second question.  If there is a 1/6th chance that the first answer is yes, then there is an 80% chance that and "identical" answers are no  to the second question.

Very intresting survey would be intrested in the background and similar surveys like this. Thank you.
It's a very interesting technique. I worry that the data might not be as accurate as if you asked in the standard way.
I think it was a bit uncertain to ask for mother and father. It would have been easier to just imagine any person first whose birthday you definitely do know. Since you used two people it could have been just my own, and a friend of mine's or something. I would have been more sure about. Or even it could just be anything since really all you care is that there's a probability.
The special survey was an interesting method...though I am still not quite sure how it works statistically to protect one's answer.
There is only a 1 in 6 chance of getting the bonus ? I hope you are not rewarding dishonest people !
How would the survey be accurate based on this technique?
I think this is a neat idea.  However, I don't think this was really needed in this study - I would have answered honestly anyway.  Now thinking about it, others may not, so this is good.  I guess it made me feel like you are adding an unnecessy noise variable to the data you are collecting.  Still a neat concept I have not seen before.
I did the dice roll task honestly - even wrote down my number before the roll.  It did not match the roll.  However, I think if I had predicted it accurately, I'm not sure how I would have answered - I would not want the researcher to think I had cheated, so maybe I would have lied and said I guessed incorrectly in order to maintain social desirability?  I'm not sure.
You may wish to offer an explanation of how the masking (for the sensitive questions) works at the end of the survey. It's kind of fascinating for people who like/appreciate math.
I'd be curious to see if the technique really worked.
so, while this is a good technique on the surface, it does not include outside factors. It is relatively easy to identify "someone" based on cookies, IPs, etc.  using various sources to link them together. It wouldn't be trivial, but it's not exactly insurmountable.
I'm going to guess the digit from the address is the next dice roll. Anyways, thanks and have a nice day.
no, survey was easy to complete with clear directions.

I honestly have no idea how you will sort out the data!
This was a very interesting survey for me.
This was a different and very intersting survey from many others that I have taken nd I enjoyed it.
I'm not sure how you would know which questions I was answering without knowing what number I chose in my head. my answers would have been different for different questions.
I hope my participation in your study is helpful.

This was a great survey for me to take in my downtime in between customers at work!  Great HIT!
Sadly, I did not shoplift, lie on my income taxes, I DID vote in 2012 presidential election and did NOT lie on the $2 dice game, yet my answers said otherwise.  This was weird. I suppose if my mother's bday was on an odd -numbered day and the last half of the year I would have been oK, but I was honest about that too.

I accidentally wrote 'Go it' instead of 'Got it'. Sorry, I am still getting used to new pc. Otherwise no problems, though it seems like the dice roll is not entirely random as I rolled it around 20 times and never got a six, which is fairly improbable. Anyways, thanks!
I think it is unnecessary, I would not have minded answering those questions honestly.

I think there's probably a bias toward answering the first question (the one for numbers 1-5), as most people seem to have houses with lower numbers (that is, almost every street will have a residence starting with 1, whereas comparatively few are going to have residences starting with 9, most will stop somewhere in the middle) so probably the majority of respondents answered the first of each question batch. It might have been more "protecting" if you had divided it into evens and odds instead of top half and bottom half.
Thanks! Please send any new surveys my way!

I would have liked it more if the dice roll were a choice rather than required.
I have not seen this technique in any other survey and I found it very interesting.
Everything was straightforward and easy to answer. The instructions were clear and simple to follow.

I like it for general questions.  I'd probably answer them honestly anyway if asked directly.  But for someone who required ABSOLUTE anonymity, I don't think ANYTHING is 100% anonymous online.  With proper data, someone could find out your answer to the birthday questions and would therefore know your answer to the sensitive questions.
These questions seem strange, especially the one digit of a friend's address.  I hope it helps with whatever you're doing though.

I don't really understand how you can decide what my answers are based solely on whether or not they are the same or different. It wouldn't have bothered me to answer the questions outright. I'd rather give up some senstive information about myself than have someone guess at what my answer is!
Very interesting set of questions. I can't figure out how they're relevant, so I'd be interested in what you're studying!

I was just surprised I actually rolled a 6 on the virtual dice. I usually have terrible luck, so I amost had to wonder if it always turns up a 6, or if a 6 is just more likely than it would be on a normal die.

It's quite interesting because the survey facilitator has no definitive way of knowing whether the survey respondent is responding truthfully or because of a dice roll.
I don't have any additional comments.  Thanks.
Tis the season to give this honest rater a $2 bonus.. pretty please :)
I don't know about the others, but there's definitely a way to tell on the question about the dice.
Well the whole "directly tick yes or no" part is false since maybe it's the opposite of their correct answer.

I wonder how stupid I was for answering the dice question honestly in that I didn't predict the throw where if I lied I would have gotten 2 dollars. I was probably the only one who did so.

It relies too heavily on respondents' honesty.
It was an interesting means of hopefully getting more honest results
I am curious what the questions regarding my mother's birthday were intended to determine
This was definitely different from any study I have ever taken on Mturk.  The rate of pay was higher than usual and the picking of random numbers in order to answer questions was something I cannot remember doing on other studies.  I thought the instructions were very clear, by the way.
It was interesting - different than any I had completed before.
I haven't seen this technique before, so it was rather interesting.
No actual feedback, besides that it was rather unique and interesting.
It was an interesting survey. I think it went through without being clicked I did know my mother's birthdate. I put perfectly but I might of not ticked it or not hard enough.

I do find the special survey technique rather interesting. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology, and I have learned of various survey methods. However, this one is unlike any I have ever seen or learned. I think I may have a little understanding of how it works. It protects information through, what I assume is, veiling it as misinformation, since only the surveyor and the person taking the survey would truly know the meaning behind the given responses. I could be very wrong, though.
This is a very interesting survey with a unique approach.

I can't help but think that some crazy statistical analysis will allow you guys to figure out whether or not I answered truthfully. I am very curious to learn more about the reasoning behind this study.
Still very curious to learn more about the methods and reasoning behind this privacy method and the survey as a whole. I can't help but thing that there is a methodology behind it that can predict who answere what honest, but I can't figure it out.
at first i thought i messed up because i had to pick the numbers three times then i realized i was being tested each time the outcome was different i like this survery if you have any more i will be happy to take them my email is chunkybaby600@yahoo.com

Maybe find a different way to distribute the extra $2. I didn't win the dice roll and I admitted it so I don't get the $2. Or your survey could be just fine, I'm just being a little greedy. Good work, keep it up!
I really enjoyed the special survey technique. It assigns questions based off of random chance, and helps prevent "fradulent' answers.
If you can tell what the answers are, that's really cool!
It's only a 50/50 chance and trained professionals could probably look for patterns to intelligently assume what answers were positive or negative in nature
It's an interesting idea; I will keep it in mind if I ever need to try doing something similar!
I love the technique that is used in this survey. Can you tell if someone lies on the dice roll?
I love the technique used in the survey. It is a great way to secure privacy. but i still would like to know if you can tell if someone lies on the dice roll.

This survey was a great one. I enjoyed it.
I'd honestly have rather just answered the questions, as the special technique required much more thought, but I can see how it'd be important for some people.
I think it is an effective way to answer questions that demand anonimity.
Thank you! I hope I get the $2 bonus, I just started MTurking and I really did guess 6 before it rolled!
I'm still confused how you can extract the answers to generate your results using this technique...
This survey had some tricky questions/aspects. Sort of like the trick question "how many times can you subtract 5 from 55?" The answer is once, since after subtracting 5, the number is no longer 55. Tricky. But I think I caught most of the tricks. Still confused on the random number a/b question technique.
The instructions do not work since I had to answer no when the truth was yes, etc.
I see how this was set up, but it's not bulletproof.  Most of the numbers corresponded to "Answer Question" when picking the numbers at the beginning of each question. /  / Also, if you include forced answers, how do you achieve accurate data?

Cool survey. Especially the sensitive question thing.
Deductive logic does make me a bit nervous. Perhaps rather than focusing on 2 months at the beginning of the year you could focus more randomly. I understand that by doing this over time you could cover this up, but it was readily apparent to me you concluded on January and February as a basis for many things.
I'm not exactly sure how you can figure out the answers from the two questions.
I think the survey is about honesty but I'm not too sure.
I think that it was a EXCELLENT idea about the two question part.
I have no idea how this could benefit you guys. The questions don't seem to match up to any sort of quantifiable evidence that could make anyone differentiate between my answers.
I had fun answering the questions, thanks for the experience.
Not really. I feel the responses were protected well.
This was a pretty interesting survey. Quite a bit different from ones in which I have participated in the past.
I liked the switch up of the questions. Kept it from becoming boring. Interested in how you would actually know if someone cheated on the dice question (I didn't) because most people would probably just say yes. Also, interesting to think how many people would tell the truth if money wasn't involved and their was nothing to gain from it.
I had never seen that method used before - it's interesting.

No final remarks. Thank you for the HIT.
i wonder how many people lied about the dice roll (no I didnt win, and i didnt lie)
The questions weren't that sensitive for the level of protection of identity in my opinion. That's probably not what the study is about though, considering the $2 roll based on good faith that people could lie on.
I have never seen this technique used before on other surveys or tasks I have performed. I think it is unique and definitely helps to protect the respondent.
Thank you for allowing me to participate in this survey!
No...it was extensively thought out and well presented
I believe the mother's birthdate questions were formed to allow reviewers to know whether the person was answering a or b question.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with data.
Very unique survey.. But extremely fun.. Thank you.. God bless..
This was fun and very unique.. Thank you.. Curious to know the outcome of this.. Lol.. God bless..
Please perhaps explain your mode of questioning at the end of the survey. This technique is interesting and I'd like to know its specifics!
Interesting. Never saw a technique like this used before.
The dice roll game reminds me of a psychology study I participated in in undergraduate. It was about risk taking and greed. Participants were given a chance to win money. The amount was varied and random, and it was a double blind study. The participant was asked if they were willing to split a certain amount of money (unfairly) between him/herself and the unknown "other." The split was always in favor of the "other" receiving more money, but the amount varied (i.e. You $4, "Other" $6...or Your $2, "Other" $8).

That was an enjoyable survey for this early in the morning.  Thank you.  Mother's birthday was Dec. 24, can't forget that, but the year is what I do not know.  My father's is one I could never remember.  They were not big on celebrating.  He died on Pearl Harbor Day.  That on is not difficult to forget.  He was a farmer, classified in those days, as 4-F, not allowed to fight in WW2.  And he regretted it.  He had a job to do for the war at home.  Fitting I guess.  You can see how I remember things.   Thank you.
The technique assumes an even distribution of birthdates, which is probably not the case, but may be a small enough deviation to not ruin the data (I assume you've accounted for that.) The other flaw in the technique as presented is that you have a control (I think it's very unlikely you don't track the die results, as that's probably part of your study) - since you know the answer to one Question B for certain you could extrapolate information about the linked Question A and then potentially use that knowledge to figure out other Question B answers. That's all assuming that a) the reader isn't very cautious, b) you're manipulating the Question A's to give the illusion that they're asking for new information when the important ones are only restating the Question A linked with the die question. All that aside, it's a nice gesture, and I already assume good faith given that you're researchers trying to further knowledge.

I actually liked the dice roll, because I had the choice of lying to get my extra $2, or being honest, and there would have been no way to tell the difference, and yet I chose to be honest. I guess I liked that about myself.

I still think that ( and have heard reports of ) certain information / data being found on the internet simply by using Google to search an Amazon Turk worker ID. I do not worry about this and also one wouldn't really know if a person simply forgot they had picked up an item in a store once... or whether they had simply made a mistake on a tax return (not cheated) or maybe intended to and sent in a vote (absentee mailed ballot) and it was returned or not counted (quite common in America for a variety of valid reasons) and so FAILED to vote even though they intended to.  ( see what I mean, one CANNOT assume much from some data~!
A method I have not seen before that appears to be quite effective.
I'm not sure how you will weed out fake answers (ie random ones) from the truth..
the survey was very stressful, you were right about them being sensitive questions.
my father was a stranger to me, I only know of his birthday from his death certificate. /  / my answers to your questions were honest. I could really use the two dollar bonus. / please give it to me.

The special survey technique relies on the respondant telling the truth. If the question is about dishonest behavior, you have somebody with a propensity to lie. How do you tell if they are lying when they answer the question about dishonest behavior?
No questions. Your survey technique is interesting but I am not convinced of it's utility.
This was a very unique and interesting survey
I liked this survey a lot; it was very interesting and exciting. The questions were not monotonous or unappealing.  Please continue to allow me to take part in your research; I enjoy helping out!
This survey is very user friendly and properly design to protect the respondents identity
Yes. What in the world was this about? It felt like a palm reader asking questions to predict your future

There were predominately "answer question" responses in #'s 1-12. But I had no problem with the survey.
By asking a few questions with redundancies, if all questions were answered truthfully, process of elimination and deductive reasoning could in fact determine some of the individual answers.
This is an interesting use of statistical facts to protect respondents' anonymity while still getting useful results.
All in all, a little odd, but wasn't bad.
Not sure I see the point. But it seems effective, as long as you don't have any previous information on the person whose answers you're trying to figure out (like if you knew their mother's birthday and could conclude logically that they must have answered the first question because their mother was born in an odd-numbered month)

The technique adds only a little bit of noise to the data. We can still say with a high probability what a persons response to the second question was.

There is nothing that ensures my randomly chosen number was not stored with the instruction it provided.  Also, there is nothing that ensures the random instruction was not rigged to always say "Answer the question."  Also, if the number method is truely random, then I do not see how you can trust the results you obtained as any given answer could be the result of an instruction and not the person's actual answer.
The last, strange questions, are the types of things that I would expect someone phishing for information to ask for.  I immediately do not trust questions about my parents.

I think the special survey techniques are pretty clever since the respondent really has to be paying attention to get complete the activity correctly. It's a good way to weed out peole who are not paying attention, as well as computers just randomly scanning your site and answering mechanically. I think it's brilliant.
I think this is a clever, very intuitive and non boring survey. Thank you. I wish you did give me a second chance to roll that dice. It would've been nice to earn an extra two dollars. LOL! Have a great holiday season and a wonderful new year. =)
It's one of the more interesting survey tactics I've seen.

I'm not sure the information you get from it will be especially valuable.
This was interesting. I would like to see the results when the survey is complete and try and understand a bit more why the techniques were chosen.
this was super cool and fun and interesting!
Somewhat believable but there are a couple questions that you can 'assume' that most people have not done, therefor you can predict what the answer to the other question is.(with relatively high accuracy)  But what do i know, im just a computer nerd :)
Easy to understand, and relatively quick!

Based on the numbers I chose to an address I sat back for a minute and thought about the question then answered was a nice survey

The $2 task was confusing. Is it a lie? I guessed wrongly, but I could easily say I was right.
While you eliminated a lot of things, a person could still, with other information available, figure it out.
I'm not sure it actually worked but I could be wrong.

Not Really, it has been a different kind of survey then most that I have taken that's for sure.
It's an interesting survey that doesn't ask you direct questions like most.

I wonder if it statistical possible to verify the respondent's answers without know the repondent parent's birthday.
Depending on the responses, I think one could infer with higher probability of being right, a respondent's answer, but wouldn't be guaranteed of it.

I would have rather answered the question directly and not have to tick a specific response if needed.
I have no remarks or suggestions for the questionnaire.
Nope, its pretty cool. I likely wouldn't use it, but it seems cool!

I think it could work because it is a random number. BUT, computer tracking software, is everywhere, so you are never ABSOLUTELY protected.
Seems a bit strange, but hey, y'all need the data.
Interesting survey. ..Im curious of the final results

It's an interesting idea for using statistical probability to solicit answers to questions which might otherwise include a high number of false reports--very cool.
I'm curious about the point of the letter assignment at the end...

I'd be interested to learn if there was a way for the answers to be figured out (which I believe there is a small chance of.) Regardless of that, I gave honest answers.
Everything seemed to work perfectly (but thank you for asking for suggestions in case there was a problem.)

It was annoying. Who is going to track the responses of this to my Mturk ID and then to my personal ID anyway. I would have responded honestly no matter what.
Tricky, and yet in a way almost kind of fun!
I can't think of any pertinent remarks at this time!
Curious to know how answers are recorded besides indentical or different.  Like, which one is yes, and which one is no.
No, but I wouldn't have minded anyone knowing my honest answers to those questions but I can see how some people would mind.
It was a little confusing, as to why there is an additional need to protect privacy in what is a fairly anonymous survey anyway.

The special survey technique is really interesting. I actually think it works even though it does keep the people moderating the survey the inability to know if someone actually cheated on the $2 bonus. (Although I did think 4 and it rolled a 4.) Very interesting.
The questionnaire was extremely interesting. I would rather take surveys and questionnaires that are similar to this one.

I enjoyed this survey! It was different from any survey I have taken, I would love to do another like this sometime in the future.
I liked the dice game, but I'm wondering if I was allowed to re-roll it...I wish I would have gotten a 6, I really need that $2. Oh well. Thanks

That was fun! I'm so happy I actually predicted correctly and won 2$! I never win anything! :D
I get the theory, but I'm not sure birthdays really are spread evenly across the year, and there's no real guarantee that people aren't just giving bogus answers. I don't think this survey is about what it says it's about.

Thank you for allowing me to take this survey. I would be interested to find out the results of the scientific findings of this survey.
thank you for the confusing survey on using your special survey technique to protect my information?
No further comments, but I enjoyed taking this survey more than most.
It is unique and the first time I have seen it.
It makes the answers to the questions more random
no suggestions, some of the questions did seem odd, but if the purpose was to test the survey security I think it was well done.
I appreciate the anonymity of the responses that were given, however, it prevented an honest answer for some of the questions when the instruction was to either directly tick "yes" or "no".
I get how it 'protects my privacy', but what use is it to researchers to use such a technique? If you can't tell which question the person is answering, then how do you get any information on the person...
Studied the dice module (similar) in Psych class. Hm.

Realized how the questions could be used to identify answers just now, I had not thought it through well enough previously.
Interesting use of logic and test of honesty.
I don't think ANYTHING that is answered online anywhere is fully protected, so I suppose this really isn't  protected either.
no but last question was very funny. I'am just kidding
Interesting. Though I Would imagine the proportion of house numbers starting with 1,2,3,4,5 is higher than 6,7,8,9,10
Thank you! Wish I would have guessed the dice number correctly :)
It was nice that I didn't have to answer the questions. I just don't understand how you will find out answers from the technique
No, not now but it has made me think about the idea whether or not answers would be privately kept using this technique.

How do I know the dice roll is random? I only rolled it once. Two dice rolls would be interesting because then probability would play into it.
This survey was much shorter than expected. I like your surveys though. I think I did one other one
None. The survey was quick and painless.
I had to retake the dice roll due to browser issues on my end. I originally got a 2, but got a 6 on the retake. The questionnaire seemed good.
How do you find out the answers if you don't know which we answered?
It seems that the majority of the numbers for each question meant that the respondent should answer the question. Assuming that normal ratios of truthful to non-truthful answers apply here, you could still predict roughly who's done what.
I'm not sure how this survey technique works, since the questions answered could probably be saved somewhere.
On the personality questions the top section almost exactly describes me. It's a little scary.
I actually did guess the dice roll correctly! But the special technique portion did not turn as well in my favor and I was required to say "no" to that, for example.
It's an approach I have never seen used in any survey I've done before.
i like that the questions were short and to the point.  Directions were clear and easy to understand.

It's an interesting concept, but I must admit I do not fully understand how it can protect the responders' answer. From a conceptual standpoint, it makes sense that answers are protected. But regarding the dice roll question, I imagine one could look back to the answer provided and figure out the answer.
I do not have any concerns regarding thie survey. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
I think I would believe that the protection works better or not if there were more questions. In conclusion I am not quite sure if this is a very good protection technique because they questions were so few and similar it makes little room for more variables.
The survey itself doesn't ask for personal information, or our MTurk ID.  Therefor, the only threat to my security would be if: / A) The Requeter somehow ascertained my info by uing my MTurk iD, or B) Someone hacked the survey/my/your system. /  / So really, the number/maiden name methods is pointless.
It's pretty smart, but my parents birthdates happened to be in those few dates.  It seems biased, and the results are could always be questioned with "maybe their parents really were born in january".  Besides that, one of the best surveys I've had in a while, thanks!
I am not sure how the data received from the special survey would be used since the results would essentially be the same as everyone just choosing a random answer.
On the dice roll, I guessed '2' but it came up '6'. I honestly marked that my prediction was wrong, fully knowing this would not get me the $2 bonus. I could have lied to get the $2; but I value honesty in all things more than $2. I wish there were some way this could be shown or proved in the test, that I was honest even though I lost the bonus.

It was interesting and the first time I've ran across it on Mturk.
No, other than a comment. This part of the survey confuses me as to how it is relevant with the previous topic.
Interesting fusion of topics to survey the user with. /  / Found that taking this survey was easy and well worth the time. Thanks.
It was quite an interesting technique. I have not seen anything structured quite like it.
I am guessing that you are looking at something having to do with how protected people feel by securing anonymity.  I feel though, that ti would be fairly impossible to know what questions were honestly answered, which is interesting, because that wouldn't work for getting real answers if that's what you were actually looking for.

I am not sure if the special survey technique does work but I will go along wit the idea that it could work by clocking the answers.
This was a fun and challenging survey!  I would like to know if the techniques used did work.
Well, special technique or not, I would feel comfortable revealing just about anything ETH DeScil asks, since they have my complete confidence. I have done surveys for them before and will continue without any reservation whatsoever.  I am not very scientifically minded, so understanding the concepts behind the special technique somewhat elude me. I marked "unlikely" and not "impossible" on the previous question about whether someone could find out if I stole something or did not vote, because nowadays, when someone like the NSA, for example, wants to find something out, they do.
As with any survey, I try to look for glitches or typos to report after it is over.  As usual with ETH DeScil, I did not find any.  I appreciate your professionalism and wish other requesters would at least try to match it.  I am unsure exactly what it is you are testing for here, but I found the task straightforward and actually entertaining.  I know that you are seeking more constructive criticism than eulogy here, but I just do not have anything to criticize.  I appreciated the dice game as well.
I don't understand how you determine which group the answers belong to. If my answer is "yes" for question A and "no" for question B, how do you know which question I responded to?

Interesting, I have never seen that technique before.
What if  someone chooses to answer any question they wanted to? ex: If the number they chose put them in the A questions and they didn't like the question they could choose to do the B queation instead. What's to stop someone from doing that? Wouldn't it screw up you results? Just foof for thought.

Have more clearly defined instructions. The yes/no responses on the bottom of the page for numbers with that direct task and the answer question part were confusing.
In regards to how secure the information is. I responded not at all because nothing is truly secure on the internet.
What is the purpose of this survey, if the answers to the A and B questions might be different and you don't know which question was answered.
Pretty strange survey :)  /  I hope it does its purpose , though :)

It was a little confusing; perhaps an example when explaining the survey technique would have been helpful.  I understood once I clicked on the first set of instructions and saw the number 1-12 and the corresponding instructions.
While the survey technique in itself most likely protects the respondents, nothing you do on the internet is ever completely secure.  If, for example, the respondent was connected through a proxy server, their traffic could be monitored and exposed.  If the computer they were using was infected by malware, their responses could be monitored.  Assuming no other external influences, the survey technique most likely protects respondents answers.
This was an interesting survey and it makes me curious to see the results of what is being studied.

not sure if you guys actually pay out a $2 bonus, it would of been nice, but i feel if you're paying and asking for honest answers, im not going to lie to possibly make another $2 and possibly mess up the survey.... hope my answers help 100% legit
Somewhat confusing, I suggest including an example for anyone unfamiliar with survey techniques.
Just to include an example of the "Identical" and "Different" survey technique.
Don't understand how you would figure out which answers were true and which answers we were directed to tick a specific answer.
I wonder if it will give you the answers you want with the limited quantity of questions asked.
Interesting, but I don't see how it's really necessary unless someone (or the government) were to gain access to your records of survey-takers...
It was interesting and have never seen it before.
Nothing at all, except why I was asked the first digit of the address.
Interesting survey, the dice roll was a neat touch.

i imagine one could discerne which questions are being answered with a relatively high degree of accuracy
I liked it, definitely an interesting idea. Also to note, the first special response I never answered as I thought it was a trial run. I tried to go back but the survey wouldn't allow it, my apologies.
great survey! I really enjoyed it. Thanks

It doesn't seem as though you can gain any definite information from it.
I found it very interesting and had never thought of doing something that way.
I had no problems with the survey.  It was very interesting and kept me alert.  I would like to be notified of more surveys by email in the future.  I have checked the box on the hit page.
Cool but somewhat random... Putting truth through a number filter?
Thought it was cool? The dice roll.... I get how you may or may not give the bonus based on it... Pretty sweet you gave us to lie or not. I guessed three and I'm dead serious about that.

A rare example of a thoughtful and well orchestrated survey
The special survey technique does protect respondents answers to the sensitive questions, but with how that survey technique is conducted, there is no for sure way to get accurate results for a study as any respondent could be required to answer the question falsely by the rules of the survey technique.
The survey was easy to take and the directions were clear.  Possibly having more than one way to achieve the bonus payment may be nice in the future.
The special survey technique was actually rather interesting and something I'd never seen before. Sure, it won't get you concrete answers to anything, but it's interesting to see how people respond to the questions nonetheless.
The questionnaire was, well... interesting. I actually enjoyed it and wouldn't mind taking more like these in the future.
this was different from any survey i ever answered
I thought this survey was very fun and important. I think surveys like this show people that it's not right to lie or steel.
I had fun taking this survey and it's great seeing surveys that try to make people realize that steeling and lying is bad.
Good strategy for eliciting honest responses
I consider myself honest almost to a fault, so I wouldn't have taken that $2 unless I had really won it.  I really wish I had accurately predicted the dice roll so that I could claim the bonus!
I can't remember the exact number of scientific surveys I've taken on mturk, so I think a dropdown box with a range would be a nice adjustment for future mturkers.
While I understood the privacy sectionvery well, I have noticed in other surveys that sometimes they give an example before they have responants answer the questions. This may help ensure people understand before they answer. Also, I don't know off the top of my head how many surveys I have completed. I estimated 200 because I know how many HITS I've completed on Mturk, and approximated based on how many of the HITS are usually surveys.
No i don't. Thought it was a great survey.
Nope! Thought it was a quick and easy survey! Thank you!

Not really. All it does is allow for plausible deniability. It depends more on what demographic and personal information you collect on subjects.
Nothing at this time, but I would like a debrief.
More visuals, say like an infographic of sorts, would help convey the instructions.
dont need the dual questions....  no question was so drastic it worried me
I thought that it was an interesting technique to use.  I've never seen it being used before in my experience in doing surveys.
I thought the "special survey" technique was quite interesting.  I would like to see it being used more often in the future.
Took me a moment to figure the instructions out.
I thought I understood it but now I'm confused.
Very unique, I have not done something like this before
This was a really enjoyable survey. Thank you!

It's different I'll say that! but interesting, Thank You.
maybe ask respondents if they would like to submit personal answers, some may say yes and respond accurately (truthfully). I'm sure your model tolerates a +- % of respondents as being unreliable anyways.
I believe that you just do not share the test person as myself information.
No. I completely enjoyed it and thank you for your time.
I wasn't sure how you were able to tell how I answered the sensitive questions because there weren't many questions to compare to each other.
I was trying to think about what you were trying to find out, but the questions and tasks seemed very random.  I suppose that is the whole point.  Thanks and let me know if you want me to do another.

actually i don't know what the special survey technique is
I have never heard of the special survey technique. Is this a common technique used by companies/individuals?
nobody wins that dice game i would bet!!
I think this survey was put together well.
What is the point of the automatic Yes and No answers?  Then people can't answer the questions honestly, if they have to say yes or no.
Why do you have the automatic Yes and No answers in part of the survey?  How does that help you get good data?

I don't understand how you would let people cheat for the bounus by not having us type our prediction first.
Just curious as to how one can discern the results between the direct answer yes/no and the honest answers if it's truly 100% anonymous.
Definitely curious as to what this survey was really measuring!
It's interesting, as I felt like I could have lied and b een rewarded.  Instead, I was honest, and was not rewarded.  I'm going to take my satasfaction from being part of what seems to be a really interesting research study
Just keep coming up with surveys like this that keep me engaged instead of being completly repetitive.
It seems like a good way to protect a person, but I think a lot of people won't trust it anyway. Because someone who is smart enough could have a way of knowing, even though it "seems" like it protects.
This was interesting. I expected you to ask me what my mother's birthday was.
Moving to school and will need a new job in 2 months
That was kind of fun!  I am admittedly very curious to know how many people were actually honest.   /  / If this is at all interesting to you, some part of me was hoping that being honest on the dice roll would earn me the bonus despite knowing the survey told me getting it "right" earned you the money and there was no obvious way of getting caught for lying .   Basically, logically, I knew there was no reason to believe I would earn the bonus using my method of choosing to be honest for honesty's sake... although I did think to myself "Wouldn't it be great if the honest people were actually paid?  (for once?)"
i find it interesting. Not overly concerned with the information i've given being kept protected. i
This survey was interesting. I never have taken a survey done with this perspective.

From the beginning, I was skeptical that the 2$ bonus was real, so the questions concerning how I felt about the dice roll coming up 6 had that in mind.
still unsure how you collect information with the new survey technique but I feel secure in answering them

I don't understand how the data is valuable if the answers are randomized. I do understand that about 80% of the time the information is correct, but that is well under a 5% p-value/significance.
I recommend to add another option to choose from for the special survey technique.
I believe this questionnaire is very good because if you answered certain question that the company is looking for then it will keep going until all needed questions are answered by the survey taker.
i'm confused and feel kind of dumb right now.
it was kind of fun, but i'm still confused, ha.
Survey was easy to follow . I do wish I would have won the dice game! Thanks!
It may not generate enough 'noise' for true anonymity, but I doubt anyone will care enough to analyze the results.
The odds are very heavy that the birthday questions are "No" given the small ranges. Therefore any "Different" answers are most likely to indicate the person lied, cheated, etc. I am happy to admit that I clicked that I was right when I didn't even bother to memorize a number. I was fairly certain that was the point of the survey in the first place so I am still providing exactly the data you're looking for.

I don't know.  This isn't the first one, though.
I've never encountered the technique on a survey before.  I'm not entirely sure how it works, but it's interesting.  I'm especially unsure as to how you'd know when someone was lying about the dice roll.  I'm interested in the overall results of this survey.
Honestly, I'd have liked the survey to be longer.  It was fun!  Like I said before, I'm interested in the overall results.  Other than that, I have no suggestions.  I'd like to know how the special technique works.
I'm pretty sure I understand what is going on with the yes or no, but there's something that's just fishy
I have done a few other survey's through mechanical turk, and this is the first time I have seen a technique used like this.  I think this is a great way to keep things confidential while also giving the user the privacy and comfort of answering the questions truthfully.  Well done.
Like I said before, I think this survey is very well done and has applied techniques that I think could change the way a survey is done.  Thank you very much, although I am disappointed about not rolling a 6 on the dice game. :)

i didn't really understand the meaning of this but the questions were easy and understandable
For the record, I guessed '5' and considered cheating, but I ended up rolling '5'.
I liked the privacy, with the dice roll, made it kind of fun
I did enjoy the diversity in this survey
I was not aware that people were so worried about their privacy during these types of surveys. I would have answered truthfully without the special survey technique.
I would like to read follow up to this survey. Espescially after the last questions which seemed strange to me.

It's a bit crazy, asking people whether or not their guess to the dice roll was correct. I feel bad because mine actually WAS correct, and now I feel bad if I get the extra $2, because there is no way to prove to you that I did it honestly. I suspect that you'll get statistically more than 1/6th of the participants saying their prediction was correct. I'm not really sure I understand the purpose of this survey...  But good luck with your research!

The dice question is tricky. I was tempted to lie just in case you're really giving a bonus. But I couldn't even bring myself to lie.
My only thought is that I don't understand how you are getting any usable information from this special survey.
Protecting your surveyers privacy is great and all but I don't see how the information can be successfully used now. Also, if people agree to the survey then they are agreeing to answer "delicate" questions.
I was confused about the one of choosing your number,
I would use this survey technique, if I were still in academia.
I actually got the dice roll right (4, the number of kids I have) but felt wary of claiming it because I knew that there were going to be dishonest people claiming it whether they did or not. I hope that your method of determining true/not-true works. Otherwise you are going to be way overpaying for the amount of work required.
I am curious about the 'pick a number between 1 and 12' part... what was the point of that?
I think it is a good idea to provide total confidence. Surveys often say they are protected but it is hard to be sure.
This was one of the better surveys I have taken. I enjoyed it.
It seems like an interesting way to protect privacy, but it also seems to render the data gathered from those questions useless.
It would be nice if those of us who were honest about not getting the random dice roll correct could get the bonus too ;)
I didn't see any questions marked A or B.
If I lied during the dice game saying I rolled a 6, would I have gotten the $2 bonus? Ha.
I don't really get how it would give any useful data to the survey givers
I, personally, would rather answer the questions directly than answer them using the special survey technique method.
My report of how many scientific studies I have taken via Mturk is just an estimation - I did not go through my history and count how many exactly.
Can I get $2 for not lying? Seems a little unfair.
I felt comfortable with the privacy element.
I found it unique and have not seen that use before.
I thought it was a unique and fascinating way for sensitive questions to be made more comfortable.
I found it very interesting. Especially the unique ways questions were asked.
Keep up the good work. Would be interested in taking more surveys in the future.
I like the technique, it makes me feel a bit protected when answering personal questions. I'm not the timid type, but I could imagine somebody who is timid feeling uneasy at answering some of these questions.
All of the questions seemed to be quite random.
I had a very hard time trying to understand what information you were trying to extract from this survey, which seems like a good thing for you guys. This survey was very short, and the pay is very good.

I think it was a creative way to keep anonymity to responses.  I also however find it hard to believe that any accurate information could be concluded from the responses that were given because of that anonymity.
If one were to discover the birthdate of a respondant's mother, one might easily be able to extrapolate which line of questioning the respondant chose to answer -- assuming the respondant were honest in his or her answers. The obfuscation doesn't really help beyond a surface glance, though I suppose it does provide plausible deniability for the respondant.
"Dice" is plural. You're talking about the roll of a single die.
I liked this survey very well and very pleased.
This was a very interesting servey, easy to do and understand.

It was somewhat confusing but I can see how it would protect the survey takers
I answered no questions in question A, so I only read one of the questions.  The statements about protecting identity in case of tax fraud or shop lifting seem irrelavent to me.
I noticed that my responses to Question B were neutral but looked bad if they might be answering Question A.

How exactly do you prevent cheating on the $2 dice roll? Is the dice roll really random?
One of the most interesting surveys I've ever taken. The 'anonymity' approach was neat!

No. I thought rolling the dice was fun even though i didn't win. I would recommend y'all doing this on other surveys because it helps capture the persons attention.
It was interesting to see the measures taken to protect the privacy of respondents.
Thank you for such an interesting survey!
This was a very fun survey to take and would enjoy taking another.
Interesting and different survey. Thank you
More surveys should employ such techniques.
I think that no matter which number I picked the response would be to answer the question truthfully.

It was interesting, through some figuring one could find out the answers to both, but it gives a feeling of security.
I would definitely like to do more of your surveys.  This one was very interesting
It doesn't seem like it would give you valid results.
none...it was interesting.  I have no idea what you were measuring though!
It seems like a good way to protect anonymity, however it seems like any data you collect wouldn't have much merit, given that half of the respondents are answering a completely unrelated question every time.
It doesn't seem to give you any information, but it made me think about the questions.
No, everything seemed straightforward (if odd).
i think the dice roll  could tell if you activity picked the correct roll with a link that monitored what you clicked without being active (hyper linked)
It was a bit confusing, but I answered to the best of my ability.
I thought the survey technique was well thought out
I thought that this was a very creative survey and was definitely refreshing when comparing it to other surveys
I think that the survey was very well done and made me feel comfortable. You made answering the questions very simple and easy, and I knew that my information was being protected.
no - just not sure what the goal was because it was so random.
It is an interesting technique although I have trouble understanding how it would help a study because the answers cannot be definite.

Trust is a huge part of this survey, but you have to hope people answer honest.
It's an interesting idea, and seems like it could be plausible.  I'd love to know more about exactly how the analysis would work.
Do they people who lied really get an extra $2 just for having the gumption to do it?

relies heavily on users honesty, and it will be difficult to sort out wether the anserws recieved were honest, random, or a flat out lie
It's interesting, although I'd say that it would still be difficult to tell which question received a 'yes' answer and which received a 'no' answer for some of the questions without knowing me as a person.
No, although I'm confused why you assigned me the letter A without then asking any questions about it afterwards!

It was very bizarre. Its rules were reminiscent of the musical works of John Cage, being indeterminate and based on chance/choice.
This was an excellent way to make the survey private.
The die part was a little confusing. I rolled a "6" and answered "yes" to rolling 6, but isn;t it too easy for people to lie to earn the bonus?
While taking it I wasn't sure how the responses would help in the research if I wasn't answering them outright.
It was a fun survey.  I wasn't sure how the answering worked for the questions though without me answering them.  The different and identical confused me but was fun.

I think it works well, but I would have rather answered the questions outright.
Since I live in a smaller town, lower numbers will occur more often than higher numbers.  Therefore, the odds of me answering the first questions, if I am honest, are greater...
I am rather curious how many people are honest when answering the dice roll question...
I'm not sure how you get useful data out of it, but I'm no expert.
Nope, was fine. Would share information directly if desired - isn't sensitive IMO

I didn't understand exactly how it worked, mainly in that I didn't understand how anyone could get good numbers out of it, statistically.  In that way, I sort of figured it was a dummy technique in order to find out how I felt about answering the questions.  But that's just a guess.
It was an interesting survey, in that I was very interested in trying to figure out what it really was you wanted to know about me.  I can't think of any way to make it easier.  It was an easy survey and it went by very quick.
I like the technique.  It allows for the answering of questions in a comfortable way.
This was fun, thank you for allowing me to participate
kind of hard to work out the logic in my head / might be easier if the exact possibilities are written out next to the buttons, with 2 possibilities next to each button
This was an interesting survey.  I love the way it was structured.
I am still a little unsure on how you get accurate data from the questions, but it seems interesting and I am not a statistics whiz.
I enjoyed this. Straight forward and interesting.

Very interesting, I've only gotten the straight forward traditional survey questions. I quite like this double question technique.. it does make it a bit harder for you to get information since you don't know which answer goes with which question
Interesting and short, would definitely do it again
i don't understand how you would get any accurate data when it is all guess work for the answers to the "special" questions
The special survey technique should have three questions grouped together with the options of "same answers (all yes or all no)" or "different answers (at least one is yes, at least one is no)". That way it would be even harder to tell which individual questions had a yes or no answer.
Very clever, albeit a little confusing for me to understand at first.
This survey was interesting and enjoyable!
This was a very fun and interesting survey.  It kept me very attentive.
the rolling the dice thing isn't new and I really don't believe anyone ever rolls a 6.
Very interesting and intriguing! well done!
One of the more interesting surveys, thanks!
I'm not sure I understand how you can choose out the honest answers.
I don't know how you will be able to decipher which question I asked. It seems as if the two results are measuring something else besides whether or not I know my mother's birthday or if I'm honest.

I think the technique does protect my answers......IF the technique is actually randomizing what to choose.    For each question, I picked a number between 1 and 12 which told me to "Answer the question", making me think there could be a trick in the programming that would tell me to Answer the Question regardless of what answer I choose!
This was a very interesting survey. Not quite sure what it was about.
But how do you know what numbers we picked and which ones we were really answering?
I did not see how the responses could correlate to anything, but like  numbers one can develop the answers you want.
It was a fun survey. It was definitely more interesting than other surveys I've taken.
Your question about years of parents births makes me want to find out.
That was very interesting. It made me again wonder what my Father's birthday is. It felt great that I picked 3 and then rolled 3. Thank you for the opportunity. :)
I feel this technique will be quite effective to get more truthful answers. Good show!
Did the questions at the end have something to do with figuring out the answers? Hmmm...
it wouldn't give you correct information for the question and answer sections simply based on the picking a number option, it just helps narrow down the number the subject chose.
very interesting, thank you for allowing me to participate in this survey! :)
I wish we got the bonus for being honest
I don't really get what it does, but I trust whoever designed this survey is testing whatever they want to test.
It was a very interesting concept and I have never seen it before. It definitely conceals your responses but i dont see any purpose if the interviewers do not know the answers.
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0
The last few questions were really creepy, right after asking if you could identify me.
I think someone that knows the technique when writing the questions would have a good idea of what the answer would be to the sensitive question. This does not bother me because MTurk uses a pretty secure method when working with the survey writers, so that the survey results are secure.
It was definately different, but interesting.

Since birth dates are "random" how would any of it be accurate at all?!
The special survey technique seems to be based more on chance than anything; although you're more likely to have to answer a question directly, there's no way of knowing what number somebody thought of. So although my answers will end up private, I don't how the answers can apply to anything.
The questions at the end make the survey seem less reputable, which I suppose is the intention.
I feel like the special survey technique is a trick or something. I'm not a very problem solver and I easily get stumped when things are explained to me. But I feel like somehow it doesn't protect my privacy. That's ok with me... I have nothing to hide.
It's an interesting technique!  If the technique was used for much more valuable information, I wouldn't feel nearly as safe.  A simple investigation of the person's parent's birth dates would reveal the information.  For simple questions like these I don't feel the person would care enough, and the odds of a person's parent's birthdate being a very specific month/date is quite low so the aggregate information would be pretty accurate regardless.
Thank you for the survey!  I'm interested in what the survey is trying to figure out.  Good luck!
I liked it, it felt anonymous and protected, even if it wasn't which I'm not sure about.
I thought the instructions were pretty simple to follow, even if I have no clue what you are doing with this study.
It's a very well thought out method of protecting privacy.

dependent on how many questions there are, so long as there are only two options, one could figure out which branch of questions one is working on.
No. I understand the survey and I like the idea behind it.
While I understand that this method allows users to answer honestly with less fear of retaliation, I do not see how you could find the correct answers, unless you find other more personal information about the user, like their parents birthdates. However, if this does actually work, it is a way of making users feel safe answering potentially "scary" questions.
I liked this survey, i have a lot of interest in sociology and psychology so i felt as if the dice game was a trick the whole time, and that i hadnt acctually won and was being made to percieve winning to further the survey somehow.
I'm actually not sure how you would know the answer to the non-sensitive question.
I cannot see how a definitive answer can be had from analyzing responses to those questions. How could you ever know which of the questions were answered yes or no to?

I don't think the survey really helps you get the results needed for the questions asked.  Participants could choose to ignore the random picks, while others could actually be answering honestly.

I see how it obscures my answers but I don't see how it's useful for the survey giver. But if it works for you then cool.
Was the dice roll really random? I feel like it was gamed in order to elicit responses to your questions.
It has a 50/50 chance of leading you to question A or B. Since both involve 5 numbers 1-10
More interactive survey questions are always better for keeping our attention. Good job.
I wonder how many people stated that their prediction was correct just to receive an extra two dollars.
It is very simple and the technique helps to protect the answers to the sensitive questions asked.
It is definitely interesting.  Not a technique that I have seen before.
Curious as to what the point of the test was!
It seems quite faulty.  You would not know for sure what answer was "yes" or what was "no" unless you knew the parents birth dates.
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; SLCC2; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C)
It would perhaps make more sense to have someone honestly answer both parts of the question and then repeat the questions in a different way to see if people slip up on their "honest" answer.
Never taken a survey like this before, very interesting.
That was confusing. I would have preferred to just answer the questions. I didn't feel anymore secure, if anything I felt that I was possible doing the survey incorrectly because I was confused by the directions.
Unless the survey depends on the privacy protection technique with the guessing of number, I HIGHLY recommend that you remove that from your survey. It makes the survey unnecessarily complicated.
A very interesting way of making people feel better about answering truthfully about negative acts, but it seems to me that one could use the same statistical method you use to get your results to see whether an individual was likely to have performed one of those acts. / Also, your question above about how absolutely the survey technique protects answers does not really make sense.  How can you do something a little bit absolutely?
Probably should have put the comment about the use of the word absolutely here.

I doubt you would be so adamantly defending the anonimity of your techniques if they were, in fact, truly anonymous.
Definitely one of the best surveys I've taken if not the best, interesting and short, only wish I had rolled a 6!
interesting and shocked I matched the extra dollar on the dice
I can think of a method that would be used to determine which set of questions was answered. This is similar to the way a card magic trick is done. I guess you could say that the 'special technique' keeping the questions/answers confidential is a matter of trust and honesty. Ironically, this is what the sensitive questions are about.
The questions asking how well I knew my parents' birthday is there, if my guess pans out, to ascertain whether or not the set of birthday questions were answered correctly. If there is a discrepancy with these answers, it could compromise the method used to determine which set of questions was answered (the sensitive or non-sensitive set).

It was confusing at first in wording but once I saw how I had to respond, it was quite apparent.
Street numbers in addresses are more likely to begin with smaller numbers, especially 1. While it may seem at first that there is a 5/9 chance to answer Question A and a 4/9 chance to answer Question B, a larger proportion of respondents will actually be answering Question A.
It was interesting to say the least. Good luck on your research going forward
Thank you for the opportunity to take your survey, and good luck with your future research.
Survey was very easy to understand and take.

Rather stranger and less repetitive than I'm used to--thank you!
It might seem a bit confusing for some people.
I would be interested in seeing if you could guess the address I was thinking of!
It's quite interesting.  I did enjoy the experience of this particular survey, I have done other survey sites, but this is the 1st one through Amazon and this is the first genuine survey where the organization is actively trying to gain information, and not demographical information alone.

I thought the special survey technique was very smart.  It also really makes the responder think about the answers,

It does not make any sense, because if I chose a 'tick Yes' number to a question that did not describe me, then I would be lieing about my character.
I did not like the dice exercise at all. I was honest about the number I chose, knowing that I would not receive a bonus. But if I had lied about the number I chose, then I might have received a $2 bonus. I think that I should have been compensated for being honest, which is rare with many people when it comes to money.
It seems to me that it is not really special. Anyone could say what they wanted, because there is no way to verify the special number is being used accurately.
Interesting, and easy.  My time was long because my computer crashed.  Also, on the dice roll, I did lie, as I thought that might be what the experiment was about.
I loved this survey!  Nice refresher of the same old questions.
Of course the whole system is based on my honestly using the same secret number for each set of questions. I guess I could have changed my secret number if I had felt uncomfortable answering the "sensitive" questions.
This was definitely the oddest test I have taken so far.

It takes a little longer to answer the questions than if you had asked questions individually.
I know this is probably supposed to be a blind survey, in that the taker is not aware of the true purpose of the survey, but the trick with the $2 bonus was disappointing to say the least.

Interesting.  Especially considering I gave some fairly detailed info regarding mothers birthday.
Interesting (albeit a bit odd) survey.  Cheers!
A 1:6 ratio of success is a terrible risk!
Kinda unfair on the dice game, especially vs honest people.
This was very different but well worth the pay.

I would have to take another look at the "mother's birthday" questions. Depending on what the set of questions is, the pattern in which a respondent answers could indicate which set of questions is being asked. For example, if two questions are: /  / Is your mother's birthday on an even day? / Is your mother's birthday on an odd day? /  / Two "yes" answers would indicate the respondent isn't answering the mother set of questions. The technique itself only works to protect anonymity if any set of responses can make logical sense to both sets of questions.
I thought that there weren't as many questions as I was expecting.
I would hope that you can find a way to see when someone cheats on the $2 dice roll so that you can only give the reward to honest participants.

On the third question, per the instructions, I had to falsely report that I had not reported the results of my dice roll accurately. However, I did report the results of my dice roll correctly, I rolled a 5, and truthfully responded that I did not roll a 6.

I don't think it made any sense! lol I don't understand how you, on that end, can tell what someone answered to each question, unless you know my parents birthdays - however, I do think if you DID know their birthdays, then you have the answers to the sensitive questions.
interesting survey! I would love to do more like this one :)

Though it took a minute to understand the instructions, I think this technique is quite clever. It gives me complete anonymity as an individual, but lets you study the group of respondants as a whole.
I would love to see the amount of people that cheated on the dice game.

I found the last bit of questions intriguing, as I couldn't determine how it directly correlated with the task. if it is not directly explained in the next segment, I would love to learn more about it.
i think this is a great way of handling questions, i think people are more likely to be honest about possibly negative things when their honesty is "hidden"

It seems interesting, but I am not sure how it works or if there is a way to figure out the answers.
It's a very interesting way to make sure you don't know the answer for sure.
Good survey format and the anonymity was really cool. I also liked the idea of the $2.00 roll.
It was interesting, I have never seen it used before.
I was actually looking forward to challenging myself to see if I could enter my guess into the computer and see if it was correct. Honestly, I guessed 5 and that was the number. I guess the fact that I answered honestly will only be something between me and my mind without being able to prove so. But, if it helps, I did guess the number. What I took from this survey was that it was designed to test a person's honesty or dishonesty.
it didn't tell me how many times I could roll the dice.
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; CMDTDF; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E; InfoPath.3)
I have never encountered that technique.  I think it encourages people to not be afraid to answer questions honestly.
I wish I knew how that dice knew not to roll on the number I predicted and why every number I picked told me to answer the question and not to tick yes or no.
It was quite fun! Even though I didn't receive the $2 bonus, the $1 reward on it's own was more than worth my time!
What in the world is this survey about? Very weird.
It is definetely a novel idea, the problem lies in it being a little complex.
It's interesting and I would be curious learning better how it works.
I was very disappointed as I planned on being honest with the die roll... and the die actually rolled the number I guessed.  I'm left feeling as though I didn't have a chance to explain I actually was honest.
I enjoyed the dice game and additional privacy measures. No problems, great survey!
good survey, not sure what it was trying to capture. but overall good.
Certainly an interesting approach to keeping information secure.
This was interesting but I wonder what the real reason behind this survey was.
I enjoy surveys that explain what the goal was after the participant has finished.

Quite an interesting technique. I've never come across it before, but it seems very simple and effective.
I enjoyed this questionnaire. It was structured so that it was easy to actually pay attention and not just breeze through it mindlessly.
I understand how it protects my privacy, however I don't understand how it gives you any useful information for your survey.  Unless your only looking for our take on the technique and not the actual answers from it.
I really would've liked to win the extra $2...
I was just wondering if the most likely picked numbers all had the same instruction or not, but I don't know what they are and I didn't pay attention. Either way, there is no way to absolutely know for sure which number a respondent picked so individuals are protected.
I think it depends on how the survey records the layout of the answers.
I don't quit understand the point but I answered everything honestly.
I would very much like to know what information this questionnaire was looking for.
First survey I've taken that has employed this technique.  Seems interesting and should work quite well.

My parents birthdays is public information, my real name is tied to my MTurk account. This technique creates the illusion of privacy for those who don't know any better.
I imagine there's an algorithmic way to make a pretty good guess as to the real answers.

Seems to be hard to get any definite data from it.
None it was pretty straight forward and easy to follow.
I wish more surveys would be like this one so that way your fear to answer is lowered.
I'd be interested to see how you could use the information
Good idea. It will work wonderfully with a large enough sample size.
no but it's an interesting way to present survey questions
I think it sucks that I lost the $2 bonus dice game. I rolled a 2 on the dice game and it made me sad. :(
Perhaps a different kind of sensitive question. Doing these tasks and bringing up thoughts of our parents might bum some people out depending on their own personal circumstances.
It seems entertaining enough, but I fail to understand how the data collection works.  Which I guess isn't really my business.
I thought it was very interesting.  I'm glad I had a chance to participate.
Interesting. Never heard of this technique before.
The choices for "In your opinion: Does the special survey technique absolutely protect your answers to the sensitive questions?" don't make a great deal of sense, that's a yes or no question.
The survey was simple and not misleading, the information asked for did not feel personal and I could tell it had a clear focus.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
It was confusing in that an address generally includes more than a single digit. Only a single digit was given for the choice of which question to answer though.
It's effective in keeping the anonymity of the survey-taker... However, I'm not so sure it's an effective way to obtain solid statistics or results for the one giving the survey.  It actually seems like it renders the survey useless...no?
I think it's pretty interesting but I'm not sure how someone using this technique with other types of questions would be able to determine which answers are which without a lot of thought.
I'm still curious as to the last task with thinking of a number and picking something and why it was done.
Glad to see it in action.  I've read about it in the literature, but never been on the other side.   /  / Yay for graduate students and/or research!  Go science!

I found this survey to be very entertaining.  I see how someone who does not follow directions could easily fill this out improperely.
Very interesting method. Have not seen it used before.
The $2 roll is funny. I wonder how many people lie behind the anonymity of the screen out of greed, or how many tell the truth in hopes of getting the $2 reward for being truthful.
This was a good survey that attempts to measure a person's honesty. I did enjoy it, and answered all the questions honestly and accurately.

I thought it was an interesting approach to protecting anonymity. I am sure, however, that there's probably a really obscure way a resourceful person could figure out whether someone had shoplifted or cheated on their taxes or not.
No, this was an interesting survey. Thank you.
I find the questionaire very interesting.
Thinking of a number between 1-10 and responding was really interesting.

Because not all people know their parents and the relationship with the challenge date is not important, I would reccomend asking the test taker to pick an arbatrary date. They might pick a parents birthday, or maybe they would go with when they met their girlfriend. Maybe they will pick a completely random date. This would provide more security I think.
I get the feeling there were lots of variables in this survey. Be careful, testing to much might spoil all your results.

i clicked on my number accidently and didnt get to read the directions.  Was that the purpose?
I guess I didn't understand how it would work.
I think it is good because it gives people a sense of privacy if they did have to answer a sensitive question.
It does seem that there is a large margin for error assuming that birthdays are fairly evenly distributed and using that to aggregate answers.

I understand how the technique protects privacy, but I am not  certain how the results can be interpreted since there is no way to know which question someone was answering.
This was an interesting survey - I would love to see the results and the application of the information gained.
Interesting technique. I am curious how reliable the data is once it is aggregated. Statistically speaking, how valid the data is.
It's a unique method. I haven't seen it used in any other survey.
Everything went well, instructions were easy to follow, thank you.
This might be a study of the Self-Reporting Bias, in which participants will often answer in a way to portray themselves in a good light (e.g. lie that they that they voted in the Election when they did not).
I think this is a good way to make respondents feel secure in their responses, but if you actually read Questions A & B the answers to Question B could likely be used to determine that they could not possibly be correct and therefore the respondent must have answered the A Questions. I still enjoyed the survey. Thank you!
Interesting.  I don't understand how you could get usable data from it, not knowing which question we were answering.
This was a little bizarre, but interesting.  Thanks.
It was an interesting survey technique, haven't seen it before.
I found the special survey technique unique and clever.  It made me feel confident in answering the questions and having my privacy protected.
If I had lied on the dice game how would you of known?

If you are really giving $2 bonuses for getting the dice roll right, I would like to say that I was honest and told the truth about predicting incorrectly! :) I'm not sure if integrity counts for anything, but I figured it worth a shot. :)

Interesting idea asking the inoccuous question and the sensitive question, maybe it could work to protect one's anonymity but I am not sure.
I thought it was an interesting and fun survey.  The wording about the question concerning the dice game was a little confusing.  I mean since I didn't roll a six, I could have answered either way depending on how you interpret it.
Interesting, but questionable as to how you parse which data is correct and which isn't.
I do not have experience taking surveys like this, but the special technique made it interesting and fun.
Again, just letting you all know that although I don't normally complete surveys, this was fun and easy due to the special technique you used. Thanks!

Interesting survey. Wish more were like it.
I think the survey was completely straightforward, and I enjoyed working on it.
I think the survey was the right amount of work, and I think the reward accurately reflects the time put in.
I have laughed all through this survey.  Thank you so much for that.
Love the survey.  Again.  I laughed so hard when the survey asked me to come up with a number and then roll the dice for $2.00.  I need to go back to my college books and refresh myself on statistics and surveys.  Good look with your studies.
I don't understand how you can accurately aggregate data this way.
How do you truly know if someone picked the correct dice roll or if they just said they picked the correct number, just to get the $2 extra?

I am unsure how the survey tied together. It's not really necessary for me to know, of course, but I feel a bit like I'm reading a mystery novel where they cut off before they reveal the killer.
Fuck anonymity, my parents birthdays are April 2 and April 21, and I totally guessed 4. /  / Anyways, it's a pretty clever technique and it def makes me feel safe.
It's clever, except with the combination of questions you could probably fairly easily figure out the answers to the "sensitive questions".
No suggestions really.  I have the feeling that something clever is going on in this survey, but I can't quite exactly pin down what it is.
Yes, i believe that the pick a house number tecnique is great, i really believe that most participants will pick and remember a simple addres starting with 1-5, and MOST addresses start with those, (i feel) so you probably get a great representation of your audiance, plus, the security provided by that makes me WANT to answer questions that would normally be uncomfortable.. i wonder if people that even picked 6-10 would anser the uncomfortable question anyway... hmm
Love this type of survey, i feel i helps promote so much honesty
I am still thinking about it. It seems quite clever but I am not sure about whether you can pull the data out from it. /

If you picked 6-9, it seems like you do not really participate in the survey.  You're only providing some information about your mother.  Maybe the questions should alternate.
This was to prove how bad of a child i am!?
It's a very interesting technique since the person taking the survey is the only one who can trace his or her special number. No question was asked during any time previous to the special survey technique being used as to what the address of the friend was.
This is a unique method of screening for taking a survey. Very interesting.

I've only seen it 50/50 before-- I like this method!
I really like this survey i think its the best one i have done yet!
Just do more surveys like this one!! i loved it
interesting. i've never seen that used before.
that was really interesting and a little unsettling, just because i didn't know why you were asking me all those questions. the last part made me think maybe i wasn't that well protected by your special survey method.
I really enjoy statistics and probability so this special survey technique is very appealing to me. It is also the first time I have encountered the technique and I'm happy that I got to learn something new today! The technique makes logical sense, but there is a small amount of uncertainty that keeps me from believing that my answers are definitely and absolutely protected -- I hope that does not offend anyone! Bottom line: great survey!
Thanks for creating such an interesting survey that employs noteworthy techniques!
What I don't really understand  is that if this is indeed random, then how can you determine answers in such a way to be useful to your survey.
It was interesting, took me awhile to understand it.
It was a little odd, not exactly sure what it was trying to accomplish.
You have melted a few of my brain circuits with your weird survey.  Congrats.
The last question was misleading, because I could see what the other question was but answered honestly  to my given letter.
Thank you. I would like to just let you know that the instructions "link" for the  choose a number "tick" does not work. Also I did get a 6 on my dice roll.
It was interesting and well done, thanks
I can't tell for sure, but it seems it may be possible to use discrepancies between answers to the birthday questions in order to tell if question A or B was answered.  However, I may be wrong, in which case I feel my answers were protected and private.
I think it's a neat concept, and not worth the time to figure out which question people are answering although possible to figure out.
I found the special survey technique to be unique and very innovative.
The study was well written and very easy to understand.
I liked the "blind" method of responding.  But it made me uncomfortable when a direct answer conflicted with what would have been my real one!
Easy enough.  But now I'm curious about the birthday questions!
I believe the survey itself works on integrity.
This was a bit random. Not sure what I filled out. :O
I think that there are still ways to figure it out.
This was fun! I wish i had gotten the bonus :(
i am curious to know how you are able to determine if people cheated on the dice roll prediction or not.

strange technique dont really understand how it can be accurate.
I was happy to predict the dice roll correctly. I got very lucky.
In the last task I had my number in my head and clicked on "Show Instruction" but nothing happened. The button was greyed out and I couldn't click it.
i will miss that 2$ but the dice dont lie
I cannot imagine how this "special survey technique" works.  It seems as though there would need to be an ENORMOUS number of respondents to make it work at all, and even then I'm not sure I'm convinced.  Maybe I just don't know enough about probability to see its worth.
I hope there was a way for you to know whether I answered honestly about the die roll.  (I did.)  Otherwise, I can't understand how you could gain much useful information from this survey.
I'm not sure how you will know what question people were actually answering.
This was very unique, and definitely different than anything I have done before.
I know numbers can be tricky, like the probability of two people sharing a birthday in a classroom is higher than you'd think because of the pigeon hole principle. However, I don't understand the distribution of birthdays or statistics to really do any preliminary thinking on the plausibility of the technique being flawed. Based on my naive understanding, it sounds pretty good.
Regarding the last two questions about knowing my parents' birthdays, I wasn't quite sure about the months/days at the beginning of the survey, so I chose to use my own and my wife's birthdays for the survey technique. For the questions about knowing my parents' birthdays, I answered honestly.

it was actually fun. I am not too sure if the survey is valid in what it is looking for, but i hope it is effective!
you're right..some questions were a bit weird
I'm just not sure what the survey is about
very smart technique for survey takers to feel anonymous and protected
It doesn't make sense because you don't know which question we are answering....so how does that help your survey?
The system forced me to lie in order to be honest.
Seems like your trying to find ways to fill time.
Found it interesting. Actually enjoyed it quite a bit.
How could you possibly know whether the answer to the non-sensitive question is a "yes" or a "no" if you don't know when the parents' birthdays are? This technique confounds me in that regard.
Is the technique a real survey technique?
Nice, enjoyable, and interactive survey. Thanks!
Most people have an address that ends in 1-5. I assume. And I didn't reread the questions but I bet they zero each other out.
In case you wanted to check your methodology, yes I answered honestly on the dice roll despite knowing I could make a bonus.
Your survey was enjoyable to take and I especially liked the beginning to weed out people who don't read the instructions.
No remarks, I just hope your survey goes well and that you get accurate results from people :)
I wish I knew what this survey was surveying. Good job not being too obvious.
I don't see how the answer is usable information if you do not know which question I was answering.

This is very good survey. It is not so long and is the most enjoyable survey I have taken till now. Thank you.
I thought the survey was very interesting.  I tried to answer to the best of my ability and was honest with all of my answers, even in the dice game.
I am glad I took the survey and I thought it was very well planned out.  The instructions were easy to follow and understand.
If somebody really wanted to figure out about tax information for example, they could by checking birth certificate records of the survey taker. That is my reason for saying quite a bit on the first answer and not definitely.
This was a very interesting survey due to the nature of how questions were asked in groups.
I find it interesting, except for none of the numbers changed. So I didn't change my number, I had to do the same thing over and over again.
I enjoyed this survey. It was very different than others I have taken.
it is phishing using ranges to determine a set for data mining.
It was easy and fun. No other suggestions.
Very interesting study, and I have to say, I have no clue what it's about!  LOL  Good luck on your continued research!
This was interesting and very fun. Thank you!

While the statement makes sense on the surface, you still know everyone who answered the sensitive question because of IP address tracking...
This was a very odd survey, but it kept my attention.
I think this was an interesting study to determine things about liars.
One of the answers I had to give based on the number I chose was not what I would have answered had I done the question answer instead. That made me feel uncomfortable.
I am curious how you can use these answers to determine truthfulness without actually knowing the birthdays but, I felt safe answering.
I do not have questions about the survey. I think I understood it well.
I have read about survey research and I know that this is a very good way to find group differences without knowing what any one individual answer is, so I really trusted that you did not know my answers. Others who are less familiar may still feel a need to deceive researchers on sensitive topics, though.

I believe that it is very safe.  If the testers themselves know only the aggregate number of yes or no responses, then I do not believe that it is possible for someone outside the system to find out the individual participants' answers to the questions.
No concerns.  I highly enjoyed taking this questionnaire.
It seemed like an innovative way to conduct a sensative survey.
It was a unique survey compared to ones I've taken in my personal life. I liked the way it was done though.
I thought it was very interesting.  I have certainly never encountered that technique before.
The only thing that caught my attention was the technique you used in the middle of the survey.  The use of that technique did make it seem like my answers/confidentiality was being protected more.

I think it is more secure doing this way
It was interesting and something I had not seen before. I couldn't speak to it's actual effectiveness at preventing privacy though.
I always enjoy your surveys and they pay nicely. Thanks so much!
The technique was very easy to understand, and I found it fun when answering the questions!
I have a high approval rating on MTURK and always make sure to read survey instructions carefully, and answer questions to the best of my knowledge. Therefore, you may trust my answers for your research.
It is a technique unlike any I've viewed before.
Further explanation as to how the answers for the multiple question answers would be deduced

Interesting survey!!  Enjoyable and different
I thought it was a very interesting way to protect the survey takers' information.
It is an interesting approach, but you have to think harder to answer....lol
Well, I don't know many house numbers that start with a number higher than 5, so most people are going to be answering question A, which means it's probably going to be fairly easy for the survey taker to determine what their answers tot hat question are.
You should probably work on the part of the survey where you have to use the first digit of a home address to determine which question you will answer. It would have been better if they just randomly picked a number 1-10 from the top of their head than the first digit of a address.

I enjoyed the variety of the questionaire and the fact that privacy concerns were addressed.
It's a pretty smart way to deduce things from the sensitive question answers. I'm curious as to how you can figure out their answers based on an aggregate. Must be some kind of formula.
I see it but I think how do you know what anyone said or did. So i guess it does it's job
Provided that the special survey method was followed by the questioners, it would protect the survey-taker's privacy. It is possible, however, that the survey wouldn't actually follow those methods and simply report like a normal, non-private survey. The test taker really has no way to verify that there were special methods used to preserve privacy.
To be honest, I didn't really understand the special survey technique.  I mean, I followed the instructions, but I just didn't really see how it was supposed to protect people's privacy.
I enjoyed the special survey and felt more people would be honest with a survey like that.

honest replies about the dice roll should get a bonus!
No complaints. Would take survey again. 10/10.
It is unique. Had to read the instructions 2 times to make sure I got the gist of it.
N/A. Seemed to be a pretty straight forward survey.
Great survey. No repeat questions and they were unique to what I've seen on other surveys.
It was different from other surveys I enjoyed it
When forced to answer either yes/no, even if that wasn't the "true" answer to the question, I did not like that.  I'd rather just always answer truthfully.
This was an interesting survey, I'm curious what you were testing.
I actually quite enjoyed this survey. Keep up the good work.

I suppose the technique would offer privacy, but there is certainly no way for me to know if you aren't just recording the answers directly. You could just keep each answer associated with my id and be telling me there is a "special technique".
It is somewhat baffling to me what you are testing.
The technique feels as though someone is actually still getting the answer they want out of me.
Thank you for allowing me to participate.
Some wont answer if their number is over 5.
I'm not really sure what it's supposed to tell you...
This survey was easy to do. I liked that it did not take a lot of time.
I am not entirely sure how randomizing the honesty of the answers allows the survey takers to glean valuable information from any honest answers.
I thought it was interesting to split the question that particular way.
It is a pretty smart way of doing things.
It was an interesting survey and it made me think a little. I enjoyed taking it.
There is an element of trusting that the survey designers won't just look at the individual responses, but otherwise I understand and am pretty impressed by the aggregation technique used.

The instructions were a little confusing at first.
I could see that the 'B' questions answers could potentially betray some sensitive information, but the 'A' series, not at all, and the fact that the two are compounded seems to muddy the data considerably. I'm honestly curious as to what good this survey will do the researchers.

well, I liked earning $3 and having my mind stretched.  Thanks!
it was interesting as I've never seen this kind of technique before.
thank you for the opportunity.  This is one of the most interesting surveys I have ever taken.
I would rather it just be a normal survey and have me answer the questions directly. Seems too difficult to get the correct information.

I may not have got the logic behind this special survey technique though i followed it.
I am not sure how you will get accurate data for what you are looking for, but i think it does protect the surveyors better than other surveys do.
It was a good questionnaire. I think the 2 dollar dice roll is a little unfair to those of us that answer honestly to predicting it wrong.
Thank you, this was an enjoyable survey and it made me think a couple times!  It was unique.
This was an interesting survey. Good Luck with your project and thank you for this opportunity.

I'm not sure if the survey is programmed to only give a result of not 6 to test if we would lie or not, and it might be better if you guys would tell if the program is designed to just not give 6 or not.
Interesting way to pose sensitive questions but make people feel comfortable answering.
That's an interesting method of posing two questions together. It must be easier to get many people to be more willing to participate.

I thought the randomness in the questions were a good idea. Most of them required you to answer them, so the likely hood of getting something that was "direct yes" or "direct no" was slim.

Your data base will be void. This is an awful technique to be honest.
no questions... it was interesting and strange, though!
I think when I provide my code to the MTurk account, my responses could be linked to that code.
A clever person could probably figure out which question was in the affirmative and which was in the negative.
I found the special survey technique quite interesting. The usage of picking a random number from 1-12 and instructing the user to follow accordingly, allows for a nice mix of anonymized results. That being said, of course there are other ways a surveyor could track the respondent, via special cookies, the answering of the question related to my location in the survey, etc..  Overall I still very much enjoyed the survey as it was rather unique.
I appreciate the time that went into creating the survey, as it was rather unique and enjoyable. Very different than any other survey I have ever taken, especially in regards to the randomization of the data technique.
It's the first time I've come across it and it made me feel more comfortable than other surveys with sensitive material.
It was enjoyable, if not a bit mysterious.

You can get ones personal information using their mTurk ID... and then you can look in public records to get that person's parents info.  Then you could use that info to compare the same/different-ness of their other answers, and determine the truth of those. But you can't be sure that they know their parents info, so it's entirely possible they answered using other info, in which case it would be nearly impossible to determine the truth of their other answers.
just a comment, it seems reassuring, but not sure if it is the truth.
Very confused as to how many of the questions related to mood and personality, but it was a pretty fun survey.

I think the odds were a bit weighted therefore lending you more opportunity to devise a judgment based on the odds being weighted.
This survey was entertaining.  I like the oddity of the questions and also trying to figure out why you asked things and why you focused on stressing the protection of ones answers.  Overall good survey.
it doesnt feel like this survey can possibly be accurate, just my opinion. i tried to be honest but if i hadnt read instructions i probably would have messed up a lot of the questions.

I felt comfortable answering them honestly because of the method that was used.
this seems to be single-blind study in which the providers of this survey do not know if the subject answered the personal or non personal question.
I liked this survey the questions were thorough.

Since we don't have to record the number we picked for the dice roll, how do you know who was honest? It seems unfair to those of us who really did predict right, as rare as that may be..
I wish there was an "I don't know" as an option for whether or not the test taker thought privacy was protected.

This was interesting, efficient and to the point. Good survey. I wish I could still get the bonus though because I was honest about the prediction question.
i kind of understand the process, but the survey is anonymous anyway.
Very very interesting thank you , made me think .
None, except for the fact that this was the first time - in 800 surveys - that I recall answering questions of this exact type.
I've never seen this before, but it's very clever.
"special survey technique" by itself is a meaningless phrase
I really enjoyed this survey. It was pretty fun and interesting.
Interesting survey.  Definitely different from most of the ones on mTurk.  /  / Have a nice day.  Now go buy everyone in the lab a tall glass of beer and use the PI's credit card to pay for it.  You can say I told you to do it, so it'll be okay.  ;)
The initial description of it was a bit confusing, but once I saw it in action, it became very clear.
This was ... odd. Thanks for the amusing start to my day! I hope you have a great and amusing day yourself :)
out of work and wondering what to do with my life.
I don't see how anyone is protected when their computer ips number is known.
I didn't understand the purpose so I guess that was good. If I did know what you were looking for I could have (I wouldn't have but someone else might) altered my answers to affect the survey.

cant believe i guessed the right number .. wish you had us enter the number first to verify for the bonus
I feel like you are trusting people to be honest and I would think the majority of people will not be honest in this survey.  I truely did pick three.  It was actually pretty weird.  Either way I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of your survey.
I have no idea how one could figure out the answers to those questions using that survey technique.
I just find it interesting. An extra $2 for honesty would be nice though :P
Again, two bucks for honesty is always a nice reward. Wink wink. hint hint.  Other than that, it was fun. Would love to do one agian.

I like it, it's something different and i think it works for the most part
good survey, it was different and actually required you to pay attention and read it through
Since my random number fell into the same group each time, I only read the questions for my group after the first question. In theory, though, it would be pretty easy to arrange the questions in the other group such that a person answering that group would pick all "yes" responses or all "no" responses. If a responder deviated from that, the presumtion would be that he was answering the sensitive information questions.
I imagine the assumption is that almost everyone will say they accurately predicted the dice roll. Those who reported that they did not should get a bonus for being honest.
Not enough questions were asked.  There are 12 months but only one question asked for a birth date.  Not enough info was gathered to surmise the correct answer to the date. /  / While it is impossible to know from this survey if I shoplifted in the past or cheated on my taxes it is definitely possible to check if I cheated on the dice roll since you have a record of this survey
If those conducting the survey have any identifying information about me, they would be able to look up the infortaion about the birthdates and assess the other information from those responses.
The special survey technique is confusing to me because, for example, I was asked to tick "yes" on one question(according to the number I thought of)  when my answer was actually "no". I felt dishonest by doing that, but those were the instructions. On the rest of the questions, the instructions enabled me to answer honestly. I felt better about those.
the direct tick yes and no answers... they were a little confusing cause if you pick numbers that dont have a yes or no answer under them its hard to decifer what you need to do.
This is a really interesting technique. I had to read the instructions twice and slow down when I answered, it made me pay close attention which is what you were looking for.
I would definitely use level of education as a qualifier for this type of survey technique. Most people I know would trust or understand the process.

Very well thought out, but maybe a little unnecessary.  I would have no problem talking about whether I stole from a store or cheated on the dice roll question.  The tax question is a little more scary.  I appreciate the extra steps on that one since I don't need an audit.

I wish I had got the $2 in the dice game since I was honest!
I liked the chance at a random bonus, but I think it would be nice to have a bonus for the people that really read the survey. Since you do ask questions to check through out and someone could get a 6 or say they got a 6 when they did not and might not have been reading the directions. : )
you cannot answer honestly if you follow instructions
I've never taken another survey that used a strategy like that, it was easy to follow, yet very well thought out!

No questions at all.  The survey was perfectly designed.
I honestly did not like it. because for some of the set B questions I should of put NO but the A set question required a NO as well

The special survey technique is very interesting! I think however that it is possible for one to analyze the data and interpret some abstract idea of a respondants answers to identify which set of questions were answered. I'm sure this technique could be applied to all sorts and types of sensative information gathering!

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I know that programs can take some information and speculate on the actual answer based on the questions. Its like how a fortune teller can 'see' the future.
I think it is an interesting concept, but I believe human nature would still assume the worst of a persons responses. For instance, in the "different" answer options, most would assume that the "yes" answer applied to the scenario depicting less than honest behavior.
I like the setup of this survey. I would take this sort of a survey again and prefer it to many others I have taken in the past.
Please continue with this kind of survey development. I think you are onto something very cool. :)
I wish I could have gotten the $2 extra lol
It was interesting. I haven't seen that technique used before.
$2 for something people can easily lie about and can not be proven wrong seems to be rewarding unethical behavior. That is my main comment.
strange questions but interesting because of it
the URL is https so that makes me feel safer.
I think this is quite an interesting and unique technique. The only problem I forsee is for people who may not know their parents due to adoption.
I think these surveys are interesting and unique.
Thanks for allowing me to be apart of your survey.
Honestly I would answer the sensitive questions without regard for privacy anyways.  None of them were that bad.

I found it to be an interesting angle on privacy protection.
Seems like a way to get possibly inaccurate information, but I always wonder about the anonymity of these surveys.
I found it quite stimulating and fun. Definately a method of survey taking that I would be delighted to be involved in at a future time.
It was a fun survey.  Any survey that is out of the ordinary and makes the subject think keeps them involved.
I will be looking for surveys like this in the future.

It made me think about the exact date of my parent's birthdays.
The technique was really interesting and seems like it should be good at protecting privacy as well. I had to think about how it worked for a minute before I realized how good it really is. Hopefully it makes people more honest on surveys, if they take the time to really think about it instead of just skimming through the explanation. Maybe a longer explanation would help with that.
Very nice survey. Made me reflect on myself.

i thought it was a pretty good idea. no one will know simply by choosing a number
I still don't understand how you would know if someone was lying to get the 2 dollars. I didn't lie. I predicted it would be 3 and i rolled a 2. If you were never planning on giving anyone 2 dollars then that is dishonest on your part.
I think the whole promising people two dollars thing was a little bit.... not.... kosher. So if i lied i would've gotten 2 extra dollars? Just seems weird.
I don't fully understand the point of the dice game, but oh well
Maybe at the end telling the surveyor what the survey was all about.
I think while it was attempted to explain the way the special survey technique worked clearly, it was actually pretty vague. I was left with the impression while answering the four sets of questions that my response to the second question was easy to predict.
Very interesting questionnaire! I am curious what is actually being tested by this.
It makes sense, but you will always have the ability to produce a mean based on A or B and then backtrack towards individual survey respondents identification.  I wonder if it is worth it for you if you are not separating the data in that fashion.
I'm glad you implemented this technique since many surveys ask sensitive information but don't employ any sort of privacy techniques.

Fabulous survey.  There is nothing I would suggest, great as it was.
While I agree that this technique makes the survey answers very private, I'm not sure how researchers could actually gain any valuable information from it if they don't know what set of questions is being answered.
This was an interesting experience and I am glad that I had to chance to participate.
I'm not quite sure how the data collected is actually useful since there are two potential questions that you are answering, but I found it interesting nonetheless.
I chose the same number every time,  I wanted to make that evident.
I don't understand how the questionnaire knows the answer to either question based on my response.
As a recent doctoral graduate, I thought that the technique was interesting.

It seems this survey is intended to estimate how much fear and participate in government.

I'm curious why you included the dice roll question.  I honestly guessed 3 and rolled 3 but it seems like everyone would either guess right or lie, or at least a vast majority.  I suppose that's the interesting part, to see how many people admit to guessing wrong.
I thought it was a bit unfair that you did not have to put down the number before the roll because people could lie about their answer and get $2 when I told the truth.
Interesting concept for improved accuracy.

I thought it was fun and interesting.  Better than other surveys I have done.

Regardless of the technique it is possible to find out a persons mother's or father's birthday. This would then rule out that response.
The dates are very small windows, and this doesn't promise that the answers will be unknown. This process does not allow you to 100% know if the answers are true, but it can give you an idea.

If you answer yes to some and no to others you would be directly answering the question.
by comparing the actual dice roll with the last question it is possible to determine whether someone is answering question A or B.
I have no idea what this survey was about. I like that. I like to be kept guessing.

great survey, I would love to participate in more of your studies.
learned about this survey technique listening to a freakonomics radio podcast maybe less than a week ago, never heard of it before or seen in on another HIT (and I've been doing this on and off for 1.5 yrs). in the podcast it was about how they survey people who'd received monetary gifts about how they'd spent them. I get how it has to do with rates and percentages, since people's parent's birthdays and whatnot are probably evenly distributed throughout the year. cool stuff!

It's interesting and protects anonymity.

Ill be bummed if I miss out on $2.00 for due to honesty, but that's the point of this survey.

This is a very intelligent manner of protecting survey takers' anonymity.
THIS WAS A GREAT SURVEY AND I ENJOYED BEING HELPFUL TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THIS RESEARCH.

I like how I was asked the question about my parent's birth dates. Now it is easier to predict the answer to my sensitive questions.
I'm now rather curious about what, exactly, you were measuring with this questionnaire.
I have no other remarks. Keep up the good work!

It seems like an interesting way to provide anonymity, but with the potential for random 'yes's and 'no's, I'm not sure how you can get useful data from this. But, I'm sure you're smarter than me and have figured out how to. I just can't seem to figure it out.
It was interesting. Like I said before, it seems like a good way to protect anonymity, but I would be afraid that it won't provide useful data.

Creative!  And definitely was more comfortable to answer questions that way.
That was a fun one, and I liked the 2 questions at once.
I think this was a fair survey which protects your answers and has very clear and consice directions.
It would be interesting to find out exactly what hypothesis the survey is trying to conclude.
