No, one is a prediction, one is what they think they would do today and one is about how they think they behaved in the past. I was simply making the point that people aren't necessarily reliable observers of their own behaviour. It's a common mistake in evaluating these kinds of surveys. (Also, even when they observe correctly, they might lie, but lets not get into that.)

An interesting statistic lacking this particular source of error would be a survey of e.g. suicide hotlines about the number of calls they get (I'm sure they keep such statistics).
