New Zealand tax department’s bizarre satisfaction quiz asks customers to choose facial expressions

A customer satisfaction quiz on a national tax department website has attracted attention for its unique rating style.

‘Now for something a bit different,’ the New Zealand Inland Revenue website states. 

Seven faces are pictured with varying emotions and visitors are asked to click on an image of the emotion which best reflects the service they experienced.

‘Which face best represents how you felt about interacting with Inland Revenue:’ the prompt says below.

The first image shows a woman who looks happy as she smiles, however the other six photos feature people appearing to be a combination of angry, sad, frightened and confused.

A woman who spotted the peculiar assessment chart posted a screenshot of the website to social media.
