do you guys ever have to take those like.. drug usage weapon and family life tests?

in school? we're taking one soon. its like dumb as hell but hey its anonymous, or what they say.
heres a copy of it:

http://www.pccd.state.pa.us/pccd/lib/pccd/stats/payouthsurvey/2007docs/2007_without_family.pdf

idk how it is in other states or whatnot so i'm just wondering.

 

err.. well thats a sample of it

there usually like 45 minutes long

 

I don't have anything to read PDF files with. But I have no clue what it is, and/or if they are really anonymous or not.

 

they are almost always very anonymous. human error can possibly take over, though.

dont get stoned before you take it and write your name at the top.

it doesnt appear to be the full survey, but it looks harmless enough, and similar to the ones i took in middle school and highschool. but the ones i took were a bit more specific, and more drug-related in general. they also threw in made up names of nonexistant but plausible sounding drugs into the mix, hoping to catch people up who were just dicking around marking yes for everything, or people who were lying just a bit and didnt know whether said item existed or not.

there were some silly names, some of them were pretty plausible sounding combinations of letters and numbers or exotic words, though.

i always took them and filled them out honestly. so long as its legitimately annonymous, you're fine. it almost surely done by the state, not the school.

 

If you're worried about anonymitity (sp?) just "accidentally" write down the wrong School ID number on the sheet. They will still get the data they want. Or is school ID the ID # for your entire school, like each school has its own number? If this is the case then I would feel safe that its pretty anonymous.

 

if its anonymous, its anonymous. no personal identification number.

a school id number, if asked for, would be an id for the school, not the student.

of course a teacher could conceivably set aside a suspect student's results if desired, but its not likely that would happen. if it is claimed to be anonymous, it has to be free of personally identifying information.

 

When we did those way back in High School they put a big envelope in the front of the room and when you were done everyone put their surveys in it with no interaction from the teacher.

 

same here.

 

I had to take one of those. Its not anonymous if you put your school ID at the top, the school is what gives you your school id. Its not really too big a deal though

 

Hmm I don't remember if I took one of those or not... I wonder if I did.

 

Ive taken tests like that since 7th grade. Trust me they are confidental. Nothing you put on there can be used to prove you ever did anything. The only thing that could happen is a teacher could look at yours and pay more attention to you to see if you do drugs or something. But for a teacher to do that is WAY illegal and when i took the test, the teachers didnt even touch the test, only some person sent by the state did.

 

yea i think most states make you do that shit. the questionnaire on your life, drugs, and sex and all that stupid shit.

 

Lie outrageously. ("Q12:I never smoked in my life, Q13: Four times in the last week" type stuff.) Confuse the snoopy bastids with faulty data.

If they later confront you about it, How did they know it was you? Oh it wasn't ananomous? Well, one good lie deserves another.

 

The most we have had to do was an anonymous survey on how many times a week we drink. lol.
