I don’t usually ask my readers to do anything, but can you guys do a favour for me, just this once? Tim’s currently in his honours year and on the path to writing a psychology thesis and he needs as many participants to do his survey as possible. So…

Do the survey!

… Pretty please?

The survey would take you about 30 minutes to complete. It’s completely anonymous, absolutely no identifying data is collected so please be truthful! And here’s the best part: all participants can enter into a draw to win a US$30 Amazon gift certificate (and if you live in Australia, you can alternatively choose between that or a double movie pass). The email address you leave for the draw is sent separately from the survey data so you won’t be in any way linked back to what feedback you give. The prize would be drawn randomly, not by me, probably by Tim’s supervisor or something, so there’ll be impartiality. So how about it? Not only do you get to help further a scientific study, you also might win something for yourself! So please take the survey!

But wait, there’s more! If you have a blog/LJ/whatever and link to the survey on one or more posts, I’ll personally plug every site that links to the survey on every new entry I make until the end of data collection (until the beginning of October). So just by posting about the survey once (or more) on your site, you can get about two months of extra hits from this blog. Please consider it! It’s for a good cause! You can drop me a comment on any post if you’ve linked to the survey, or you can contact me privately. Basically just tell me:
Your name:
Where you’ve linked the survey:
What URL you want me to plug:
You don’t have to nominate your journal for the plug if you don’t want to, it could be any site (or none if you’re just promoting the survey out of kindness).

Edit: I was informed that this test is technically for people 18 years and over. For those under 18 and have already done the survey, your data might not be used but your email address provided WILL be still counted in the competition draw, so you’ll still have the chance to win. For those who haven’t done the quiz, unfortunately the ethics committee require participants to have stated their age as being 18 or over.
