Questionnaire report

Introduction
On 17 February 2014 our class (2MA04) had to prepare questionnaires during the lesson. The
purpose of the questionnaire was to measure whether the students are risk-takers or not.
This report will summarise the replies we gathered in class. This report also gives the difference
between the results of the girls en those of the boys.
Results
Its really surprising that students dont consider themselves as risk-takers. Only 28.5% is aware of
the risks they take. When we look through all the answers we can say that the students of 2MA04
need to revise their opinion about not being a risk-taker. A big part of the students try something
new when they go to the restaurant. 71.43% of the questioned students said theyd rather go on the
high and fast attractions instead of the slow and so called baby-attractions at an amusement park.
Its logical that taking risks sometimes turns out wrong. This test has shown that almost 3/4 of the
students has been seriously injured from which a smaller amount of 14.29% has been seriously
injured for more than 3 times. 57% of the students are afraid that something unexpected might ruin
their plans.
It seems that the boys of this class are more aware of the risks they take. Girls really dont like doing
things that almost paralyzes them with fear and surprisingly enough boys dont like that either. Its
not surprising that girls think more when making a decision because most of the boys are confident
and make their decisions immediately. Surprisingly enough, girls are not as careful as they pretend to
be. Most of the girls like breaking the rules which can be very dangerous because rules are made to
protect. Boys and girls prefer the same kind of vacation: a relaxing holiday.

Conclusion
This questionnaire shows that its more or less safe for the teacher to give class to 2MA04. The class
takes risks, but as the students are all wanting to become a marketer, they have to take risks. In fact,
everyone takes risks every day without even thinking about it.
Comment on value of the questions
Some of the questions were too expanded and some were not clear. We think that most of the
questions were good but could use some examples to clarify. Question 5 and 6 were a bit double
sided because when you are afraid that something unexpected might ruin your plans, it can be that
you are afraid because you arent well prepared, but it can also be because you have a strict
schedule. We will drop and add things to the questions in the questionnaire.
