i took the survey but think it was too short and should have left some space for open ended comments. D- on survey construction!

I'm not in market research, I'm a college student. This is for an assignment and I didn't pick the topic. I'm a horror fan myself, but I generally prefer to not think about why I like them.

I actually agree with you. I had more questions and had originally planned on leaving them all short answer instead of multiple choice. My professor suggested I do this instead.
Thanks for taking the survey.

The assignment is to do a survey and write an analysis of the results.

I like horror because, to me, the word always sounds a little like 'whorer', and it has been a life long ambition of mine to be one. It didn't quite happen for me but, at least, I will always have Amsterdam...

Took the survey but, like everbody said, it's too short. I'm sure you know what you're looking for but a more elaborate questionnaire might've churned out something quite interesting when compiling the info.

Good luck with your project anyways!

I'm going to be honest - Like others, I'm really not sure how you will derive any meaningful statistics from that survey.

But I took it, nonetheless.

I did the survey too! I liked it because it was so short. But it should've been longer!
