I took the quiz but I feel that if you are not careful interpreting the results, you will be inferring a lot. Or if some are taking the quiz and inferring answers. FOr example if my girlfriend and I took this test, we would probably have different answers even though it is the same for both of us just because how it is worded.
For example:
a. How often does your driving distance exceed 100 miles in one day
d. If there is an additional vehicle in your household how often it is used for trips not possible in the Leaf?
I answered d as it is asked, "trips not possible in the Leaf". Considering most of the places I take my gassers have charge stations along the route or at the destination it is not a matter of not being possible, it is a matter of not wanting to bother with charging when I can just take a Prius and get there and back on a single tank of fuel. Last thing I want to worry about driving to the airport is running out of charge, or a downed QC station that makes me lose my flight for a weekend trip which we take almost every weekend.
Then the question that asks, "Considering each of the following vehicle attributes how do you believe your Leaf compares to a petrol powered car?" in regards to "Brand" and then ranks superior or not, I don't think that makes much sense. I believe the only car brand that this question would apply to is a Tesla. Nissan sells the Leaf, but they sell gas cars too. You are asking solely about the brand of the car, so is the brand improved just because they sell the Leaf? Other brands that also sell electric and gas and hybrids? Doesn't make sense. The option of "The Leaf is similar" is I suppose the "neither agree or disagree option" but again that is not what it says. Similarity is not the same as equality or negation.
There were lots of other little things like the social personality questions were awkward and nothing can be gleamed from such questons. No quantifying details were given, so everyone is going to answer relatively which doesn't work for an online anonymous poll where you need absolute numbers to correlate data.
And the occupations seemed tailored to someone working in the service industry or something. None of those are applicable to the majority of tech jobs.
