There are also other types of ambiguity. For example when asking: "Do you keep your room in order?" - you might answer "yes" because that's what you do, but you only do it because it has been enforced into you over time, while if you were alone and free you'd keep it messy.

Do people respond with their instinctive reaction or with their trained reaction? Which one is the right answer? Depending on that you could get a different type.

There is even more ambiguity in questions like "Do you keep your room in order". First what order for some, is chaos for others. Second some people just lie to them self or ignore the truth. For example, how would a hoarder answer that question. So the self perception could differ much from the real behaviour.
