I'll try to post some of the results. :) Full report won't be going up, though, because it'll be in another language.

Things I noticed:
- At first I thought mechanic was a describtion of the person's behaviour (stiff, unemotional) so I gave them a bad rating (non-native speaker).
- I quickly unconsciously limited myself to certain answers (1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15) with 1 being by far the most common one (cruel keyword).
- It would have been practical if the answer box was automatically selected after going to the next page. This way I had to do three steps per page: Select box, type answer, click next (Windows 7, Firefox.).
- It quickly became obvious you were looking for how people react towards sexual orientations. No judgement of course but I think it might be useful to consider that while checking the results.
- I would have found it interesting to review my answers afterwards just to get an impression of myself. Maybe even have a script automatically analyse the answers (average rating for specific keywords like cruel, friendly, gay, etc).
- I think it took me less than 10 minutes. Getting just the keywords was convenient compared to having to read a wall of text.
One question just came to my mind as I have read some of the giveaway comments about control questions: Did we have to answer some questions more than once?

Interesting points. Thank you for your input :)
And they were all different. Though given the number and how similar many of them are, I can imagine it would seem like there were repeats.

I didn't have the feeling like there were repeats while filling out the survey but afterwards I wondered about it as I think it would be an interesting point to compare. I could imagine that if e.g. the first and last question would be the same there might be different answers nonetheless. Besides that people can be expected to answer with a slight variation for the same question I could imagine that for some people their opinion would actually change throughout the survey as they reflect on their choices.

Yes. It would certainly be ideal to test more than once, but the survey would have been enormously too long. Honestly, I tried to keep this one short x.x it could have been a whopping 135 or so questions with no repeats if I had used all the terms in the original methodology, but I thought that was way too many

done so have a bump.
and pressing TAB once well automatically select the space so keep the mouse on next button to proceed faster in the survey, basically press the TAB, then number, then click next and repeat

"Sexual orientation: Other"
What is the other? Hand? Tree? Thing? Sculpture? Earth? Animal or what?
I don't get this whole democratic (equality) bull****
Comment has been collapsed.
It's just some "democratic (equality) bull****" put there for those that need it. No worries if it doesn't make sense to you. :)

But still I want to know what I suppose to think by "other" :|
I can't imagine anything here except hermaphrodites but they don't exist.

It seems a useful option for those that aren't sure about their orientation. Could also work for ace and pan people (although the latter would probs be ok with using the bi option) as well as all those tumblr special snowflakes.

Thief gay nervous, enthusiastic, cruel, unlucky... should i be worried? I mean, if i think myself as the victim of a thief with mood problems i think i would be worried, he is going to rob me? or what? D:
Also, i find funny some of the others descriptions... xD

Using your rating system I'd rate the survey as "?????". The 20 point scale felt a bit too large and vague. I'd have preferred a 10 or 5 point one.
Also how the hell can I judge a person with "unlucky mechanic gay". Unlucky is... very very vague. Also if I didn't have a thing for doctors then mechanics wouldn't have rated any different from them.
You say that you wished to convey morality through occupancy but there isn't a "good" occupancy. Only a bad one and 2 middle ground ones. Maybe choose something like "volunteer firefighter" next time instead of doctor or something.

I will definitely try to use a simpler scale in the future. Looking at likert 5- or 9-point maybe.
Yeah, unlucky is meant to be a neutral trait to make comparison easier, so vague is right.
Volunteer firefighter is an excellent suggestion! Unfortunately I didn't pick the job titles, though.
Comment has been collapsed.
Ah, I see. Found the other comment about the job titles.
I guess bringing this issue up to your prof would be interesting.
Taking the pseudo fetish I have for doctors aside, my personal experiences with both mechanics and doctors (I have classes with doctors at a hospital) lead me to see mechanics as nicer people in general. Which I doubt was what your prof intended?
Oh well.
All the best with this project! And thanks for the giveaways!

I think the intention was more that thieves are perceived as less moral, mechanics as neutral, and doctors as more moral. Of course these terms don't really hold any actual weight, but perceptions don't always have to follow reason.
Thanks :)

That was the weirdest survey i have taken so far. Hope it helps, and thank you for the giveaway!

Thanks for the laughs, it felt like rolling characters in a very weird RPG :D

This was weird... and not in the good way. First of all, why the 20 point scale?... people are used to 5 or 10 point scales. I understand 5 is not accurate enough, so use 10... but definitely not 20. Also, next time use radio buttons horizontally, not a text field.
Second... how am I supposed to judge someone by 3 words? Especially considering the nature of these words... thief? unlucky? bisexual? I know one of the reasons of this "survey" was to check the sexuality bias among other things, but all of this makes little sense and I honestly expect you won't have very relevant results. But good luck anyway.

A likert scale certainly is where I'll be going in the future with this. Unfortunately I was basing my methodology on a study which used a 20-point scale with write-in answers so I didn't really have much choice.
The lack of any real description of substance is intentional. This is just judging impressions, so you don't have to get the full picture.
Even if I only get negative results, I'm still happy to have results. :) Thanks for filling it out.

Hey everyone!
I'm doing some research on impression formation for a psychology class at my uni, and I need lots of data because social psychology is real fun that way.
In any case, I thought an interesting way to get some participants would be to make giveaways, so here I am!
The survey itself is pretty simple to fill out, completely anonymous, and should take under 20 minutes to complete.
To motivate you, I've got a little giveaway train at the end which contains a handful of games I personally think are great!
Here's a link to the survey: <survey is closed>
If you've got the time, I'd really appreciate it if a few of you would fill out the survey. :) It would really help me out!
EDIT:
Hello everyone!
The survey and giveaways have ended, I've had the fun of trying to sort out problems with SPSS and finish the report, and now I am able to let you all know how you did. :)
Now, please note that I was not able to use absolutely all of the responses collected. Some were obvious trolls, for example. But you guys really gave me a lot (and I mean a LOT) of data to work with, so it was really a pleasure to analyse.
As a reminder, my hypotheses were:
Here are some bar charts from my report: http://imgur.com/57dOLa8
In the end, profession and personality were the most influential variables, with profession only very slightly in the lead. I noticed an interesting interaction between these two variables, so I explored it in Figure 2, where you can see personality being the main factor when it comes to the first two professions, but the last profession evidently... had some low scores all around. haha
Finally, sexual orientation had no significant effect, statistically speaking. I was personally pleased to be proven wrong. :)
Thanks again everyone for helping out, and also for your helpful comments. I made sure to remember them when writing how the study could be improved. Next time (if there is a next time on here) I'll try to make the survey more interesting. :P
