How many times have you received a survey from your friends? How many times have you answered and sent the response back to the group? Aside from the volume of junk email this produces, much of it is considered spam by those who have no interest in responding, surveys are an excellent form of social engineering to help guess your passwords. People who aren't concerned with security use their initials, maiden names, kids names, pets names, favorite color, favorite flower, and all kinds of personal preferences as passwords. And that's exactly who these surveys target. So I wondered, as an experiment, is it possible to create a survey that's so emotionally invasive that people would find themselves in a position where they really shouldn't answer? It turns out an inner conflict arises, between the desire to answer the questions and the results of exposing the answers. People do answer anyway. As such, my friends who got the first copy of The Evil Survey have requested this site, in addition to more surveys, based on the contraversy and conversation the first one spawned.
