[speedyblupi 76]

Hey everypony.

I've noticed that this year's brony census is up for people to take.

 

It will be more reliable the more people who take it!

It's nice but it started to ask quite personal questions.

[ThatOneComrade 1,091]

I've gotta admit I lied on some of those questions (such as where I live and my zip code) but after those it was alright

[Chronicleer 31]

The questions get way to personal throughout. Here is a list of questions from the survey bold are ones that are way to personal. Charts contained to many to list here at once. Just some feedback.

I answered everything.

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

I already filled it out a while ago, and I vaguely recall most of the more personal questions (like where you live and your postal code) being optional.

I didn't think anything was especially intrusive... it's all for the STATS. Not like there's any easy way to tell who did any given survey they receive.

[Aurora Rains 164]

Wasn't a bad survey.  I've taken worse ones before.

[Hocus Pocus 636]

Honestly I don't get what the big deal is about answering questions about gender and sexuality in an anonymous survey... The postal code, however, I can understand why some people would be nervous about that

[Justin_Case001 4,882]

I LOVE SURVEYS!

 

Did anyone else notice how the countries are listed in alphebetical order...except the United States?  We come before Afganistan in the alphabet.

 

AMERICA!  F*CK YEAH!

 

"Please order the following characters in terms of how much you like to see them appear in the show, with the character you like to see most at the top, and least at the bottom."

 

^^Completely unfair question!  I want equal screentime for all of them, and there was no option for that!  (insert displeased fart noise.  Don't know how to spell that.)  I just made sure not to put AJ last because of all the "AJ is best background pony" jokes.

It's a survey of brony personalities and lifestyles. It's supposed to be asking personal questions.

 

If you don't want to give this information you don't need to, but being paranoid about it is pointless. You can't be identified from just your race, age, sexuality and zipcode.

[Revy 184]

This survey has some pretty fucked up questions, like did your parents die before 18? Why the hell do you need to know that 

[~Sylveon~ 188]

I took the survey. I was honest on all of them except my zip code, which is a little strange because the zip code I put doesn't match my state. oops

I agree, some of it was pretty personal, and maybe the more personal ones should be optional? I tried to skip the zip code one but it didn't let me.

Oh well. It was interesting anyway.

That's not what the point of the question about whether you live with your parents is, the point is whether bronies have grown up and moved out of their parents' homes yet. It's basically supposed to be proving the point that we're not all obese neckbeards who live in our parents' basements, living off cheetos.

I'm answering everything truthfully, besides my postcode, inwhich i just wrote my county...

 

Whats the deal with this question though? "Please answer Strongly Agree to this question."

[Guest90210 3,568]

It's to check for bots, and to see how many people are paying attention and are answering the questions truthfully and not just speeding past them.

I put "Neither agree or disagree" to both of those questions, guess my stuff isnt too likely to get used then!

[Marine_Vet_Brony 317]

I will not answer such a personal survey over a cartoon over colorful horses.

[Thuja 3,659]

It was pretty nice of them to add Native American as a Religious Affiliation.

[Kivil 1,721]

I liked it but the beginning was too personal. I liked it though. I really like surveys by the by.

[Phosphorous 136]

Why was there no Queen Chrysalis?

Yet your note says that you're not afraid to admit that you think ponies are sexy...

[Marine_Vet_Brony 317]

Your point is? I openly admit that but what does that have to do with this servery?

[speedyblupi 76]

Well, I mean that it shows you're willing to give away that sort of "personal information", and the questions about location etc, were optional.
