Title: Workplace Survey of Qui-Gon Jinn
Author: ardavenport (aka Anne Davenport)
Timeframe: pre-Episode I, pre-TPM
Genre: humor, Qui-Gon Questionnaire Challenge
Characters: Qui-Gon Jinn
Keywords Qui-Gon Jinn, Questionnaire BfTS
Summary: Qui-Gon answers questions
Notes: Another stupid survey rolled around at work, so I thought I'd update and revise this. This survey was originally posted in the old Qui-Gon challenge thread. This is complete silliness and the joke may not translate well for Jedi, but this kind of online questionnaire has been showing up where I work every so often. Seeing that the seat of galactic civilization is about to collapse in on the Jedi of Qui-Gon Jinn’s era, this seemed like the sort of thing that might be going around the Temple.

(4.) What activities are most supportive of your growth in the Force?
Meditation, lightsaber training, teaching and all the other things that if one needs to ask if they improve your understanding of the Force then they are not likely to do so.

I am engaged in one of them right now.
(6.) If there are any other issues that have not been covered by this survey, please list them here.
I believe that we need fewer surveys.

(4.) What activities are most supportive of your growth in the Force?
Meditation, lightsaber training, teaching and all the other things that if one needs to ask if they improve your understanding of the Force then they are not likely to do so.

Oh, yeah, I see Qui answering that way.

Hah! Had to guess that Obi-Wan's obedience level was only at 2  And so was his satisfaction with the Jedi Council's leadership Typical Qui-Gon  Loved the appendages questions That made me totally LOL
Can I borrow this survey and have one of my OC's fill it out? I would love to see their responses. This is such an awesomely silly idea

Very clever! I love how you're able to convey his Qui-Gon-ness just through what number he chose. One of my favorites:
(19.) I work well with my fellow Jedi. ____ 1 __ 2 __ 3 __{4}__ 5
(20.) My fellow Jedi work well with me. ____ 1 __{2}__ 3 __ 4 __ 5
Wonderful, as always.
I wonder how Obi-Wan would answer the survey? *nudge*

LOL! This reminds me of the useless (and endless) surveys they forced us to do at a previous job. It's amazing how true to the genre of (annoying) surveys this is--it looks like the bona fide article. Qui Gon's answers were a real hoot, too, especially the "write in" variety. Thank you for sharing this.

I thought I was laughing hard until I read these... You should do another like this! It was really good!

Valairy_Scot: Thanks for the reply! Qui-Gon's honesty on a survey like this make his responses....unique. 
ratna: Thanks!
Jinngerbread: Thank-you! I guess Obi-Wan's obedience level could use some work.
Can I borrow this survey and have one of my OC's fill it out? tongue I would love to see their responses. This is such an awesomely silly idea
Aaaack - I should have replied sooner than this. Of course you can use this survey; I'm flattered. Just put a credit and link to this thread in with it.
VaderLVR64: Thank-you!
LilyHobbitJedi: Thanks for reading! I considered doing others, but I didn't think anyone would be as blunt at Qui-Gon.
micky-nikki: Thank-you! I thought about doing Obi-Wan's survery, but I think he might take the survey seriously--he's young--and be more diplomatic with answering the questions at the end.
Nimloth: Thanks and thanks for reading!
dianethx: Thanks! I think surveys would not help with a Jedi's growth in the Force.
Lurkalidth: Thanks for the reply! You wonder if surveys like this can come to anything, but for this story Qui-Gon obviously doesn't think so. If the survey is dumb, sometimes the best thing to do is be honest.
JediKaren: Thanks!
azizah: Thanks! It was the occassional survey at my work that inspired this one; I thought, 'What if the Jedi Council sent these out?'
Rogue_Pilot_2347: Thanks! The littlest responses can sometimes reveal a lot.
silverfighter: Thank-you! I'm glad this survey worked out, but unless the right inspiration comes, I don't know if I could do another one justice.

very funny!
This reminds me of something I used to read years ago called "Qui-Gon's Monthly Report." I don't know if they can still be found online but they're hilarious and much along the same lines as this. BRAVO!
