Concerning questions 18 and 19 how can one possibly assign one discrete value of confidence that encompasses the wide variety of duties and responsibilities of the respective jobs?

Makes me wonder about the validity of this "survey".

let me give you an example.

I can be thrilled with the way that my son made an A in math and a B in Science... but he made Ds and Fs in all of his other classes.

OVERALL = i would be dissatisfied with his scholastic performance.

or how about this one

I can be happy with the way my car handles, and i can be happy with how comfortable the seats are... but if the car gets 6 miles per gallon and is in the maintenance shop every other week...

OVERALL = i would be dissatisfied with the vehicle.

another?

i can be upset with my dog for piddling on the carpet, but i can be happy with the way he is learning to shake hands, lay down, roll over and play fetch, and i can be thrilled with his companionship.

OVERALL = i would be happy with my dog.

same question for congress.

scale of 1-10 how happy are you with congressional performance OVERALL
