Feb 13, 2015 at 22:36 comment added Dewi Morgan @jamesqf While that is friendlier, using a brusque option that most people don't identify with as the default, is much better for getting them to change it without feeling pressured into it, than giving them a friendly option they can relate to!
Feb 13, 2015 at 20:38 comment added jamesqf @Dewi Morgan: I'd suggest that instead of, or in addition to "prefer not to say", there should be something like "don't know/not sure/really complicated".
Feb 13, 2015 at 8:34 comment added Dewi Morgan Good point about "if they complete everything except the ethnicity - they're doing it on principle, so stop reminding!" One way to avoid special-casing this one case in software is to have it pre-filled with the valid value "prefer not to say". This is sneaky UX because, compared to "Please choose one" (which invites the thought "what if I don't want to?"), it invites the thought "Hey, I'm not that opinionated! Don't put words in my mouth! I'll change this..."
