Apparently there's some monstrous new survey up. I am suspicious of web surveys as a methodology, because of the obvious dangers of bias in the sample, but of course methodological perfection is generally unobtainable, and research which falls short can be very valuable in suggesting new theories to test; it just shouldn't be taken too seriously as proving anything. So I'm going to take it, and recommend it to others.

wow that was a big survey - and lots of repeated questions - I guess to confirm that I am still paying attention - which was hard to do at this time of night...
And no cute little answer at the end regarding what type of person I am heh...
I thought it was a bit funny when it asked the questions that related to determination concentration and whether I follow through - if I was the sort of person who answers no to any of those I presume I wouldn't finish the survey.
