Quantified Self interviews for PhD

Yes, my intention was certainly benign, and I appreciate the fact that you gave me the benefit of the doubt on that. My main concern was that even though I am relatively new to this community, I have already seen at least a couple of instances where someone has prepared a very short questionnaire and asked self-quantifiers here to fill it out. In each case, the researcher who posted it was very disappointed that only two or three people did so. In at least one of those cases, I looked at the questions they had asked. The apparent goal of the questionnaire had been to assess the interests and opinions of the self-quantifier being questioned. That’s fine, but it wouldn’t have brought anything of value to this community. I think that’s why there was just no interest.
