A general comments box would be nice at the end to explain some of the end cases. I had to guess at a lot of numbers and gave some word answers to a few. Also, I had to guess at what some of the terms meant. I hope that was okay.

(Note) Take the survey before reading further.

Basic assumptions that I found amusing: questions comparing me to those I grew up with. I was homeschooled, so most of the people I grew up with were family.

It would be nice to list the answers to the confidence questions after the survey was submitted. Now I have to go look them up. :)

All told, interesting questions and I look forward to the results.

Good suggestion about the general comments box. I added it. Thanks.

I'll list the confidence answers in a couple days, after most have filled out the survey. I'll also post the total results, both the raw data and my own analysis of it.

17 people have filled it out so far, which is wonderful. If people keep this up, we'll get some really good data.

Awesome. Thanks for all the work.

If you do this again in the future, I have a list of potential questions that may be interesting to study. Do you want me to:

  1. Send you a message
  2. Post here to allow full discussion
  3. Wait until you post the data and post so as to allow full discussion
  4. Do nothing (because you are not planning on doing this again; you do not need suggestions; you do not want suggestions; some other reason)
  5. Do something else

1 or 3 are good without reservation. 2 is good if you're fairly sure it won't prejudice people's answers to the current survey questions.

If you opt for route 1, my email is annasalamon at gmail.
