Design For Everyone quiz

Everyone should have the right to privacy and dignity. However, blind and partially sighted people do not always have that right. Whether it’s private financial or medical information, or something as personal as a pregnancy test result.

Blind and partially sighted people are often forced to ask for help to access this sensitive information. We believe products and services should be designed with everyone in mind.

Take our quiz to find out more about the challenges faced by people with sight loss and how you can help us bring about change.

Question 1

If you were receiving the results of an STD test through the post, how would you like to get the news?

Submit answer

You’re brave! It’s your choice to let your parents access your private information before you – but many people with sight loss, don’t have the choice. Even sensitive information, like test results, isn’t always produced in accessible formats like, large print, email, braille or audio.

You’re right to expect some privacy in a situation like this - but many people with sight loss, don’t have that choice. Even sensitive information, like test results, isn’t always produced in accessible formats like, large print, email, braille or audio – meaning they are forced to ask for help from others.

Congratulations on having a very trusting relationship! It’s your choice for your partner to access your private information before you - but many people with sight loss, don’t have the choice. Even sensitive information, like test results, isn’t always produced in accessible formats like, large print, email, braille or audio.

Question 2

How many people know your PIN code?

Submit answer

Although no one should really share their PIN with others, some risk-takers (like you!) just can’t keep it secret from their partners. You probably shared this info because you wanted to – but, many blind and partially sighted people are forced to share their PIN with countless people because touchscreen card readers aren’t always accessible.

Not sure that’s a great move! It’s not advised to share your PIN with others, especially strangers - but as touchscreen card readers aren’t always accessible, many blind and partially sighted people require help and are forced to give their PIN codes to countless people.

And that’s the way it should be – but as touchscreen card readers aren’t always accessible, many blind and partially sighted people require help and are forced to give their PIN codes to countless people.

Question 3

If you had a bad case of piles, what would you do?

Submit answer

That sounds more like a dare! There are some things that we’d just rather not have to share - but for people with sight loss, they don’t necessarily have that choice if information isn’t available to them in an accessible format.

We’re with you - there are some things that we’d just rather not have to share - but for people with sight loss, they don’t necessarily have that choice if information isn’t available to them in an accessible format.

Sounds like you really are BFF’s – but for most of us there are some things that we’d just rather not have to share - but for people with sight loss, they don’t necessarily have that choice if information isn’t available to them in an accessible format.

Question 4

When you go shopping for groceries, is it important to you to look at any of the ingredients or nutritional values on the packaging of your food?

Submit answer

Check you out, health-hero! Unfortunately, food packaging is generally inaccessible to blind or partially sighted people. This means that having independence and control over their food, especially if they have an allergy or specific dietary requirement, can be incredibly challenging – and potentially dangerous!

Well, aren’t you a rebel! It’s your choice if you do or don’t bother, but for blind or partially sighted people, food packaging is generally inaccessible. This means that having independence and control over their food, especially if they have an allergy or specific dietary requirement, can be incredibly challenging – and potentially dangerous!

Now, imagine if you couldn’t have that control! Food packaging is generally inaccessible to blind or partially sighted people. This means that it’s incredibly challenging to keep any level of independence and control over their food. And as you will know, this control is especially when you have an allergy or specific dietary requirement.

Question 5

If you were filling out a loan application, how would you want to do it?

Submit answer

You obviously value your privacy – but when forms and letters are not available in an accessible format, many blind and partially sighted people are forced to lose some of their independence and share sensitive information with others.

Might be time to leave the nest! We all want the choice to ask for help when we need it but when forms and letters are not available in an accessible format, many blind and partially sighted people are forced to lose some of their independence and share sensitive information with others.

Are you sure you don’t live in a cosy cul-de-sac in Australia? We all want the choice to ask for help when we need it but when forms and letters are not available in an accessible format, many blind and partially sighted people are forced to lose some of their independence and share sensitive information with others.

Question 6

When you go into a polling station, do you tell anyone who you’re voting for?

Submit answer

Everyone is meant to have the right to be able to vote independently and in secret, but until the voting process becomes fully accessible, many blind and partially sighted people do not have that option - they instead rely on others to help them.

How very American of you! Share if you want to – but everyone is meant to have the right to be able to vote independently and in secret. However, until the voting process becomes fully accessible, many blind and partially sighted people do not have that option - they instead rely on others to help them – meaning it is essentially announced whether they want it or not.

Question 7

Whenever you’ve taken exams in the past, who’s been the first person to see your results?

Submit answer

Well that’s an interesting ritual! That’s your choice - but for blind and partially sighted people, they are often reliant on others to read their results to them; meaning they lose control over how and who they’re shared with.

That sounds super awkward. Similarly to your slightly uncomfortable upbringing, blind and partially sighted people are often reliant on others to read their results to them; meaning they lose control over how and who they’re shared with.

That’s the way it should be, right? But for blind and partially sighted people, they’re often reliant on others to read their results to them; meaning they lose control over how and who they’re shared with.

Question 8

Who helps you when you fill in a job application?

Submit answer

We’ve all been there! It can feel very personal completing job applications but when online job application systems aren’t accessible, blind and partially sighted people have no choice but to get help from others.

Doing the house chores is the best form of bribery! It’s often wise to get another opinion, but completing job applications can feel very personal, so it’s good to have the choice. However, when online job application systems aren’t accessible, blind and partially sighted people have no choice but to get help from others.

You’re an open book!

You’re clearly not too concerned about keeping things private and there are no right or wrong answers - this is all about you having the choice of privacy. But we want to show that blind and partially sighted people don’t always have that choice. 

With all of the examples we've used, if we were to utilise existing technology, or simply consider accessibility when designing products, these issues which impact on people’s dignity and privacy wouldn't exist.
