WARNING TO ALL: DO NOT TRUST SURVEY RESULTS

The truth is, people who do surveys don't take them seriously. My aunt just reminded me of that fact. I asked her to fill in a survey for me as course credit for one of my modules. One of the profs in the school set this survey which has questions asking how you regard time & money with respect to work and home and also includes questions testing your mathematical abilities. My aunt couldn't do the math questions and rang me up to ask for the answers.

Well, I initially told her she was supposed to answer them herself. She retorted that it would be better if she were to answer them correctly. Being a little annoyed (because she has started reading the questions one by one waiting for my answers and I was trying to read my company law notes before being disturbed by her call), I gave her the answers.

BAH, she made me feel bad about rendering the survey results inaccurate. BUT OH WELL, which survey results are 100% accurate ANYWAY?
