Abstract

According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, a system includes a user device to participate in a survey, and a server coupled with the user device to facilitate dynamic survey adjustment by performing a method that includes creating a survey based at least in part on a set of survey questions. The method further includes inserting an attentiveness question at a random position in the survey, wherein a response to the attentiveness question is indicative of an attentiveness of a survey taker to the survey. The method further includes, in response to receiving the response to the attentiveness question from the survey taker, performing one or more dynamic survey adjustments. The dynamic survey adjustments includes adjusting a weightage associated with one or more responses provided by the survey taker.

Claims (41)

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

creating a survey based at least in part on a set of survey questions;

inserting an attentiveness question at a random position in the survey, wherein a response to the attentiveness question is indicative of an attentiveness of a survey taker to the survey;

in response to receiving the response to the attentiveness question from the survey taker, performing one or more dynamic survey adjustments, the dynamic survey adjustments comprising:

adjusting a weightage associated with one or more survey-responses provided by the survey taker, the weightage adjusted by a first value in response a completion time of the survey being at least a predetermined threshold time; and

adjusting the weightage associated with the one or more survey-responses provided by a second value in response to the completion time being less than the predetermined threshold time; and

analyzing, according to the weightage, the one or more survey-responses from a plurality of survey-takers respectively.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the dynamic survey adjustments further comprise restarting the survey.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the set of survey questions in the survey are reordered prior to restarting the survey.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the attentiveness question in the survey is a plurality of attentiveness questions.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 4 , wherein the plurality of attentiveness questions comprises an attentiveness question for each section in the survey.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the attentiveness question is inserted at a first position for a first survey taker and the attentiveness question is inserted at a second position for a second survey taker.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the attentiveness question is a first type of attentiveness question for a first survey taker and the attentiveness question is a second type of attentiveness question for a second survey taker.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

displaying a user-interface element associated with a survey question, the user-interface elements retrieving tagged content corresponding to the survey question.

9. A system comprising:

a user device configured to participate in a survey; and

a server coupled with the user device to facilitate dynamic survey adjustments, the server configured to perform a method comprising:

creating a survey based at least in part on a set of survey questions;

inserting an attentiveness question at a random position in the survey, wherein a response to the attentiveness question is indicative of an attentiveness of a survey taker to the survey;

in response to receiving the response to the attentiveness question from the survey taker, performing one or more dynamic survey adjustments, the dynamic survey adjustments comprising:

adjusting a weightage associated with one or more survey-responses provided by the survey taker, the weightage adjusted by a first value in response a completion time of the survey being at least a predetermined threshold time; and

adjusting the weightage associated with the one or more survey-responses provided by a second value in response to the completion time being less than the predetermined threshold time; and

analyzing, according to the weightage, the one or more survey-responses from a plurality of survey-takers respectively.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the dynamic survey adjustments further comprise restarting the survey.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the set of survey questions in the survey are reordered prior to restarting the survey.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the attentiveness question is a plurality of attentiveness questions.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the plurality of attentiveness questions comprises an attentiveness question for each section in the survey.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the attentiveness question is inserted at a first position for a first survey taker and the attentiveness question is inserted at a second position for a second survey taker.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the attentiveness question is a first type of attentiveness question for a first survey taker and the attentiveness question is a second type of attentiveness question for a second survey taker.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises displaying a user-interface element associated with a survey question, the user-interface elements retrieving tagged content corresponding to the survey question.

17. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon program instructions executable by one or more processing devices to perform a method of executing a dynamic survey generation and verification, the method comprising:

creating a survey based at least in part on a set of survey questions;

inserting an attentiveness question at a random position in the survey, wherein a response to the attentiveness question indicative of an attentiveness of a survey taker to the survey;

in response to receiving the response to the attentiveness question from the survey taker, performing one or more dynamic survey adjustments, the dynamic survey adjustments comprising:

adjusting a weightage associated with one or more survey-responses provided by the survey taker, the weightage adjusted by a first value in response a completion time of the survey being at least a predetermined threshold time; and

adjusting the weightage associated with the one or more survey-responses provided by a second value in response to the completion time being less than the predetermined threshold time; and

analyzing, according to the weightage, the one or more survey-responses from a plurality of survey-takers respectively.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the dynamic survey adjustments further comprise restarting the survey and the set of survey questions in the survey are reordered prior to restarting the survey.

19. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the attentiveness question is a plurality of attentiveness questions, the plurality of attentiveness questions comprises an attentiveness question for each section in the survey.

20. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the attentiveness question is inserted at a first position for a first survey taker and the attentiveness question is inserted at a second position for a second survey taker.
