What is Polaris Insight?
Polaris Insight is a behavioral research firm studying how people discover and evaluate others in online environments. We’re currently conducting interviews to explore digital curiosity, trust, and visibility.
What will I be asked in the interview?
We’ll ask questions about how you use platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, Spotify, etc.—specifically what you notice when you look someone up, and what information feels interesting vs. too personal. There are no right or wrong answers.
How long is it, and do I get paid?
Each interview lasts about one hour and you’ll receive $50 as a thank-you for your time. Interviews are done in person at One Kendall Square in Boston, MA. Or they can be done virtually on Zoom, though we would compensate slightly less.
