How month long vacations would you trade for a new sportscar? If you’d trade months of vacation for one sportscar, write 2, if you’d trade one month of vacation for two cars, write 0.5.
Many typos here. Also I hate it. Which sportscar. Why not just give a dollar value. My mind compulsively goes to the tesla roadster which’ll probably have cold gas thrusters and so is likely to value a lot more than the average sportscar. The answer will also be conflated with how much people like their work. Some people like their work enough that they’ll have to give a negative answer, or they might just answer incorrectly based on varying interpretations of what a vacation is, can you work during a vacation if you want to? I’d say not really, but I’m guessing that’s not what you intended.
I’m retrying the cambist booking values test from last year, but with consistent phrasing. I don’t need any one question to be comparable—it’s fine if each person thinks of a different sports car. I need the cycle to be comparable—so for each individual person to think of the same sportscar between questions. Likewise with how much they like their job. I think self consistent values are one of the load bearing pieces of rationality—it shows up in things like scope insensitivity, or taboo tradeoffs, or expected value calculations.

Typos fixed.
