I was aiming for a question that would produce a simple status assessment. I hoped halo effect would counteract some of the potential problems with the wording. After thinking about it I decided a rather ambiguous but easy to understand question might best capture this without discouraging too many people from contributing, so yes it was intentional.
But please I have little experience on poll questions and am not a native speaker of English to boot, so please share any further constructive criticism you might have! :)
This is thread where I'm trying to figure out a few things about signalling on LessWrong and need some information, so please immediately after reading about the two individuals please answer the poll. The two individuals:
A. Sees that an interpretation of reality shared by others is not correct, but tries to pretend otherwise for personal gain and/or safety.
B. Fails to see that an interpretation of reality is shared by others is flawed. He is therefore perfectly honest in sharing the interpretation of reality with others. The reward regime for outward behaviour is the same as with A.
To add a trivial inconvenience that matches the inconvenience of answering the poll before reading on, comments on what I think the two individuals signal,what the trade off is and what I speculate the results might be here versus the general population, is behind this link.
