Hi fellow gamers :)

I’m currently a student at UCLA, and I’m doing a research project on FEMALE GAMERS! :)
I’m actually a female gamer myself, so I’m particularly interested in finding out more about our rare breed.

Though the study is about female gamers, male gamers can take the quiz too (I’m making comparisons between the two genders).

All I need from you guys is to take two fairly short quizzes: the first one is a temperament (sort of like a personality quiz) and the second one is just some questions about gaming in general.

PUT MY E-MAIL ADDRESS (gamingbruin@gmail.com) when you take the temperament quiz!
Also be sure to put the same alias/name for both quizzes so I can match you guys up.
It’s totally anonymous, so you can even put a random word as your name if you’d like (just be sure to use the same one for both quizzes).

Here are the links:
(1) http://www.keys2cognition.com/temperament_survey.htm
(again, don’t forget to put my e-mail address here :) you still get your results at the end, I just need a copy for my research project…don’t worry, it’s still anonymous)
(2) http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=cGhXaDdXX21wRGtUeHIzQ0NZUDM4Umc6MA..

Sure I don’t have anything to offer you guys in return…except my undying gratitude haha.
You can feel better for knowing that you’re helping a fellow gamer out by helping her not fail her class in college!
I’d offer to challenge you all to a friendly game but I’ve become kind of rusty.
If you’re in the Los Angeles area I may be willing to treat you to some free ice cream! :)

E-mail me at gamingbruin@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Happy gaming!

Generally speaking, registering just to milk free research is pretty heavily frowned upon here.

Not to mention that your methadology can't produce meaningful results usable in university level research.

dunno, i saw enough staggeringly bad psychology experiments at university to convince me that the bar is pretty low..

Geeze guys did you even look at the survey? The questions aren't terrible, they are presented in a text box format instead of some stupid multiple choice bullshit, the questions aren't utterly crap and hell it is rpg.net, we spew forth long winded multi page opinions unsolicited, but now someone asks us to go do it over there and we yell at her? The hell?

...Yea, it's as bad as I thought it would be.

Wasn't this EXACT FORM submitted to this forum in the past? Down to the exact letter of the posting here?

No matter how good the questions the result they produce is worthless if you have no means to verify the actual genders of the people answering the questions.

I've seen no yelling here. Just some realistic advice.

Well, *I* answered anyway.

And I'll gladly offer the Team Lethal vent server so it can be verified. My voice should be good enough.

From a research perspective, I have NO idea what data the asker hopes to gain from those questions.

It's a trick. Get an axe.
