Why do I get screened out of a survey?

When taking surveys, the survey may screen you out after answering a few questions. That's because surveys have specific target profiles or demographics they are looking for.

You may get screened out if your responses do not meet the required criteria. In that case, you can not proceed with the survey to complete it. Sometimes, we might still reward you with a few points to compensate you for your time.

Please check out these helpful tips as well;

  1. Don't rush. Take your time to read the questions.

  2. Be honest. Give accurate answers about yourself and your opinion.

  3. Don't use a VPN or public Wi-Fi. Any service obfuscating your connection can be seen as fraud.

  4. Be open. Answering questions with "I don't want to answer this question" will usually screen you out.

  5. Be detailed. When asked free text questions, provide a unique and thorough response. Offensive language, copied, or low-effort answers will get you screened out.

Occasionally, getting screened out is entirely normal. We demand that our survey partners refrain from screening respondents late into the survey as we highly value our members' time.

Pro Tip

Highly rated and short surveys are usually the easiest to complete.
