I agree that #21 is misleading and may skew results as a result of how it is set up. I also had several categories I would simply have labeled "N/A" if it was an option, whereas my top projects that I'd like to complete have little difference in their ranking (all "1s," if you will).

Yeah, there were things that were 10 and things that were zero, on Q21. Garbage in, garbage out! (Maybe they can compost it.)

I took the survey, but didn't read your post all the way through before doing so. No gift card for me, I guess.

Done! And very happy to see that so many people completed the survey!

I also had trouble getting past 21 but very quickly realized why, and was able to complete the whole thing. I thought it was a pretty nicely organized survey but replacing rating with ranking in #21 would have helped.

There should be a privacy disclosure. Who will have access to my email information, and what will be done with that information? Will it be sold to other companies? Will Jobes only have access? In light of recent news about misuse of data, I think privacy disclosures are essential.

I did complete the survey.

Like others with no "finish " to the survey, it would not complete, just left spaces and no "end" or "send"!

We were able to get enough survey respondents, so the survey is now closed. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit the survey!

Doing research for companies is something that NGA has been actively engaged in for over 40 years. Since the Whitinger family took over NGA we have not been directly involved with research, and this was a good first time attempt at getting back involved in this kind of work.

We learned a lot from this experience, and we will apply what we've learned in the future. The difficulties that some people experienced will hopefully not be repeated in future research opportunities.

Thanks again, everyone.

For those wondering, I originally planned to shoot a video of us doing the drawing, but the entries are all based on email addresses and do not map to a name or username from the site. So for privacy reasons, we can't reveal who the winners are without revealing their email address.

I'm going to do the drawing locally here (using my usual random generator) and will send the winner info to Jobe's, who will then reach out to them. If you're a winner, you'll get an email from them sometime soon (maybe not today, since it's something of a holiday...)
