What percentage of phone calls (to your personal phone) do you answer?
What percentage of phone calls (to your personal phone) do you answer?
I'd say I'm hovering around the 60% mark.
I don't answer calls from numbers I don't recognise, unless it identifies someone I'm expecting a call from with the "maybe" thing. I don't use my phone for work (often). I don't call people to catch up, I'd rather IM. My mother or my best friend call and I ignore them more often than I probably should.
But really I just don't like talking on the phone that much.

100%. I learnt the numbers 0-9 in Mandarin Chinese and I know how to cuss in Chinese to Chinese robocall scammers.
I also have a social sciences research background so I have no disincentive or misguided desire to respond with wrong data to polls either.
I also answer all calls I get and (usually) call back if they missed me. I actively gave my number to one or two research groups for polls. They call maybe twice per year, so it's alright.
As for scammers, maybe 10% of calls are of that sort and so far I enjoy messing with them when they call.
