Yeah, it is usually better to have an answer, even if it’s slightly skewed, rather than literally no idea. One technique you could use is to provide two anchors, one way too low and the other way too high, so the anchoring effect is limited. For the party example (unless you’re a frat house), you could use a low of 8 people and a high of 75.
I haven’t read any studies on anchoring effects when two anchors are given, like this. Anyone got a link?
