avoid negations

[milahu]

for example:

• Am not bothered by difficult social situations
  • Can easily manage difficult social situations
  • Prefer easy/small social situations
• Am not interested in theoretical discussions
  • Am interested in theoretical discussions
• Have difficulty starting tasks
  • Prefer to start tasks
  • Prefer to start new things (?)
• Try not to think about the needy
  • Prefer to think about the bright sides of life

the question is: should we use binary or ternary logic? ternary logic uses negations in questions, and a "negation of negation" can be seen as a neutral response, but here we explicitly provide a "neutral" answer, so i would prefer questions in binary logic

Hey @milahu.

Thanks for the input :-)

The survey are taken from J. A Johnson's https://ipip.ori.org/30FacetNEO-PI-RItems.htm so if you are looking to change the questionnaire that would be the place to go with your concerns.
