IDENTIFYING PEOPLE LIKELY TO RESPOND ACCURATELY TO SURVEY QUESTIONS

摘要

A survey data structure is described that specifies how to administer a survey to each of a group of people. The data structure contains an entry that specifies text that poses a fabrication gauge question for which a percentage of the population who can accurately answer the fabrication gauge question affirmatively is known. The data structure further contains a plurality of entries that each specify text posing an unlikely question for which the percentage of the population who can accurately answer the unlikely question affirmatively is small. The data structure specifies how to conduct a survey that serves as a basis for determining which people to whom the survey is administered are responding truthfully to the survey.
