Section 2 - Characteristics

5.20 General
Question 7 to 14, which comprise Section 2, provide some basic characteristics about the individual and are to be answered for all members of the population except those exempted as special cases. Special Cases are always handled by Special Census Takers and instructions for identifying and handling these Special Cases are given in Part 6.

5.27 Question 13 - Race

[Image omitted here]

Ask the question this way: "To what race do you belong (would you say he/she belongs)"?
Read the alternatives on the questionnaire and mark the relevant response position, depending on the reply (Syrian/Leb. is the abbreviation for Syrian and Lebanese).
Accept the respondent's reply.
If you feel that you are obviously being misled, do not contradict. Simply make a note in your Visitation Record - Section 4 against that household entry.
