Interviewer instructions
Since in the majority of cases you will be interviewing one member of the household, you have to shade the group to which the respondent says he/she and other members of the household belong. DO NOT GUESS. If the person belongs to a group other than those identified in Categories 1 to 8, shade oval 9 and write in the answer on the line provided. DO NOT DECIDE BY APPEARANCES AND DO NOT ARGUE. If you think you are being misled, make a note on the comments page of the questionnaire and inform your Supervisor. As usual, 10 – Don’t know/Not Stated – is used as a last resort.
