DO THE SURVEY!
Life, Online, World August 5th, 2007I 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…
… 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.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
First I tried to enter the quiz to start it, but it said that I have to be 18, like you said, since I’m 17, and going to be 18 in few months, I just changed the number to 18 and there we went.
All in all it was fun doing the test, I think it discusses some serious issues about important things (religion, country-related and sexuality), I suggest everyone takes the quiz.
Whoa! It turned me around so much that I completely lost myself a couple of times and just clicked out of habit one key or another hehe
I did think that the reason for the A or L was… well what it was said there… oh well, I can blame my mom having come in and scandalized at what “questionable” content (the images in the survey) I was viewing *rolls eyes* And she claims she is tolerant… oh yes…
To Robbie: You’re close enough to 18, that’s a good enough estimate. I’m glad that you enjoyed taking the test! I’ll post the results of the findings when all the data has been collected.
To Vera: I found it tricky myself, I got heaps wrong. :P And heh, about your mum! All the images were very demure though! Just smiling couples hugging or lightly kissing. :3 Anyway, thanks for taking the survey!
This site is browser-cist. I’m trying to access it from the school computers (IE 7) and the damn thing won’t scroll! So I can’t click “I Agree”. *sulks* Anyhow I’m not 18 yet. There in a few months too. :P
Fine I’ll do this at home! *grr*
^ On IE7, you need to click on the flash file once to activate it first then drag the scroll bar to the bottom to read it. I don’t know why you need to activate it at all, but that’s what IE7 demands. =/
Oh, I already did it. Oh well, a good way to spend 20 minutes anyway!
I did it! It was weird because I had to do a powerpoint presentation on gay marriages and a lot of the images I used in the powerpoint were in the survey. I guess the psych students just googled it eh? Interesting survey though… i love the interface haha.
I haven’t taken the survey yet (taking my sweet time, as usual ;)), but I’ve linked it on my latest post (http://soapbox.jellowcat.net/shortcomings-and-advertisements) and you can plug Sunbeam Soapbox. ^^;
