Questions where "how strongly do you feel" does not make sense #171

Closed mjalkio closed 8 years ago

mjalkio commented 8 years ago

This is very similar to my last issue (#170) because it's not necessarily an issue with the application, only with how it's being used. There are two questions where "how strongly do you feel" doesn't seem applicable:

The issue that might make sense to fix is to have the ability to add questions that do not use the "how strongly do you feel" hearts. But these questions also make me wonder how the matchability is being calculated. If I own a bike and a candidate owns a bike does the website give us a better score?

We saw this as an issue to begin with as well. I don't remember our resolution at the time. Who recalls why we solved it this way?

There was a disconnect between the format of the questions asked and the text of the questions. This is mainly my bad for not coordinating with the Pilot question authors better.

So it's just something that the future question authors need to be prepped on more? Is there any need for education materials or things like that?

Other than "pose questions assuming the answer will come in the form of a quantitative enumeration of feelings, not binary responses," no.

Thanks @mjalkio for chiming in. We took this suggestion in and we made it, this time, to try and avoid this type of issue with our questions. Check out the #okcandidate channel for our new doc and feel free to weigh in if the case. Its also for VB so you would be an excellent guinea pig.

Happy to reopen if additional guidance
