How do they use my answers in similar questions?

Gender and age questions are standard at the start of all surveys. These questions verify the respondent's identity and help calculate quotas as a tool for statistical control.  

This matter is better explained here in one of our articles, which you can explore when needed. 

Let's clarify: we select you for a study based on the gender and age information in your profile, among other personal characteristics. Upon joining the panel, you complete a detailed survey to establish your consumer profile, ensuring you receive relevant studies. 

 Our Ipsos iSay pro tip: Keep your profile updated to get as many and as tailored as possible survey invites! 

Why do similar surveys ask the same questions?

The types of surveys you receive each month are based on your personal details like age, gender, and lifestyle. This means you’ll always receive surveys that are relevant and interesting to you. Initial questions confirm study relevance to your profile for statistical reporting.  

We ask demographic questions initially to confirm the target gender and age group for the study. This is the reason why you will be asked the same questions at the beginning of a study, because we want to make sure once again that it is relevant for your profile and then, if indeed it is, it would be needed and used in the statistical report.
