ad test survey
One of several potential attributes that a marketing concept is to be rated on. See complete question:
Please rate how well the following adjectives describe the execution of this marketing concept using a scale from "0" to "10" where “0” means “Does not describe at all” and “10” means “Describes very well”. (the execution of the marketing concept refers to its overall rendering/manifestation; followup questions ask more specifically about the text and the visuals therein)
1. Interesting / Intéressant
2. Compelling / Convaincant
3. Unique / Original
4. Relevant / Pertinent
5. *Confusing* / Embrouillé or Confus
6. Believable / Crédible
7. Unexpected / Inattendu
Should I say "embrouillé" or "confus" in this context?
