Entrevista no válida

Non-PRO Spanish to English Other Other Survey
This is in a survey questionnaire. It seems to be "Invalid interview" but that doesn't make sense to me. Does anyone know for sure what it is? Thanks.

Jul 20, 2023 00:05: Yvonne Gallagher changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): abe(L)solano, Luis M. Sosa, Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Agree It's about a filter question, i.e. one designed to exclude certain interviewees from the survey.

"A certain answer invalidates the interview" Algo típico de las encuestas, sobre todo de las investigaciones de mercado: descartar una entrevista por un dato personal o una respuesta que no coincide con el perfil (de consumidor normalmente) que buscan.
James Clark (asker) Jul 19, 2023:
Yes, I think that must be it. A certain answer invalidates the interview. This would make sense. So I leave the phrase as is. Thanks for the help!
Toni Castano Jul 19, 2023:
Probable meaning From the meagre context provided, I infer the meaning is that the interviews are not valid (= invalid) in all cases applicable to people under 25 years of age. I cannot think of anything else. For some obscure reason, such interviews must be discarded from the total number of interviews collected.
James Clark (asker) Jul 19, 2023:
Well, this is a survey form. I don't know how much more context I can provide.
Some of the answers have this at the end. Examples:
Sí - Entrevista no válida
Menos de 25 años - Entrevista no válida
etc...
It doesn't seem to make sense to me.
Am I wrong?
philgoddard Jul 19, 2023:
I agree with Toni that we need the context, but I also don't understand why you have problems with "invalid interview".

It's presumably one that hasn't been carried out properly, or whose interviewee doesn't fit the selection criteria.

@James Welcome to KudoZ. I see this is your first post in this forum. Please provide as much context as possible in order to get the most efficient help.

2.9 Guidelines:
"Help" KudoZ should be used for requesting terms help after having searched the KudoZ term search and other resources. When asking a question, sufficient context should be provided. Even when there is no other context, the subject area and type of document should be indicated. It can be helpful to enter sentences or paragraphs where the term in question occurs. See a more detailed description here.

In this particular case, "invalid interview" has the direct translation you have mentioned, but it is just impossible to know, without having a full context, if there are some nuances that might change this obvious rendering .

There's more context in the discussion box - an interview is invalid if the answer to a particular question is yes, or the respondent is under 25.
