I keep thinking why not a survey for a survey, it's only fair, right? I'd like to know more about the people who ask for players to complete surveys. where are they from? how old are they? what are their goals for their survey?

what I would like to make... is a list of questions that we can ask these psychology majors as they show up here. with it, we could simply paste a link to our survey in their survey thread.

am I alone on this one? I'd like to know what hopes and dreams are riding on my survey answers.

can we get a list going, of things to ask? such as

-what country are you in
-how old are you?
-what is your income range
-what is the highest level of education you have completed
-what type of organization did your survey originate in (university, non-profit, advertising, DARPA)
-can you tell us a little bit about your thesis concerning your survey?
-what video games do you play (platform, genres, a god-awful LONG list of video game titles for them to click)
-how many hours per week do you play these video games
-how many hours away from these video games do you spend daydreaming about playing them again
-do you play EVE
-in your opinion, __________ ISK per hour is a sign of winning EVE
-nerf hisec?
-nerf nullsec?
-down with afk miners?
-open the door?
-changes to EVE you would like to see (huge list from the suggestions thread)
-in my opinion, drone assist is (good, bad, neutral, the death of EVE)
-to RP or not RP?
-do you liek mudkips?

if there's a lack of questions submitted here, i'm just going off on a set of 'complete the name' questions:

-Commissar ____
-Random ________
-Demichael _________
-CCP Fa______
-CCP Fo______
-Jita 4-_

...........

I actually suggest that, once this thread irons out the 'rules' for said survey for surveyors, it be stickied and titled Rules for Posters of Surveys. It should also required that their original post contains their answers to this survey as an addendum. Bear

I find the lack of Cake based questions appalling.

Don't forget these essential questions:

-Where do babies come from?
-What's going to happen?*
-Why?

*Deep question asked by a disturbed guy in a youth hostel. About once a day, he'd suddenly burst into the common hang-out area and yell out that question. It's a pretty hard one to answer....

first draft of the survey is complete, it's a nice google doc and generates a report for all past responses at the end. pretty nifty

off to do stuff for a bit, bbialb, i'd like to add to it but i'm out of ideas atm. maybe more word association questions. just post stuff here, i'll get it entered

take a look at the results report, it's pretty nifty. for those who might be in need of a survey in the future, google docs will export the results into a spreadsheet which you can edit further https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AofD9XC7pnNRdEt2QTlLcENvMzZ1LUpERG5QUWtIbFE#gid=0

I should remove united states to frustrate them right out of the gate

randomize the order of the countries

...and remove "other"

...and make it a required question

it's possible to subject the text answers to a data verification.

.....would it be better to make it a test, so that at the end, it assigns a score? (but present it as a survey)... i think so

i forgot to ask for a link to their survey thread

will update later.

The get-to-the-point survey:
- What is your credit card number?
- Do you reuse passwords? If so cite three examples.
- How much money is currently in your bank account?
- What is your mother's maiden name?

We assure you this purely anonymous.

Ha ha, that survey.... Big smile It started off right with the list of 220+ possible countries to be from. I messed up and chose my real country instead of Papal States.

I have finally relented and disclosed my secret Time Traveling and Journeys across Dimensions plans in your Survey, may it help other Seekers of the Truth in the Eternal Quest of Infinite Knowledge, and as a bonus disclosed the secret of where to find the Origin of Babies (Hint : I am 11)
