Who gets what wrong? — Marginal Revolution

again, this is why I *hate* survey questions, and especially OKCupid questions. (OkCupid should do some charts on what kinds of questions are most often given additional commentary by the answerers...) they are almost always vague, and it means that two people presented with the same *text* are nonetheless *answering a different question* than one another, which invalidates the comparison and may well defeat the purpose of asking the question.
