The Survey
Captions available
The idea
A survey collects standardized answers from many respondents, so that responses can be compared and counted across a population.
In practice
The same fifteen questions put to four hundred students produce four hundred comparable records.
Where people slip
A survey records what people report, which is not always what they do.
