Exclamation Sixth Sense

Hi
I'm carrying out a survey of people who think they've had a 'sixth sense'. I'd be really glad if you could take part. If you supply your email address in the survey, i'll email you the results.

Here is the URL:
http://tinyurl.com/3kq82

Once again, thankyou.

1) Please do not double post
2) The link goes to a completely anonymous site with ads. I will consider this SPAM unless you state who you are and what your reason for conducting this survey is.

Re: Sixth Sense

The purpose of the survey is to find out how many people think they have a sixth sense, so as to get an accurate representation of the population.

Re: Sixth Sense

Thanks, Peter. We get so many spammers these days it's hard to figure out what is what sometimes.

Re: Sixth Sense

I don't think you can get anything like valid data from this. For one, you're not getting a representative sample. For another, there's nothing to control how many times one person takes the survey. The data you'll get will be nearly useless, really, except possibly as a curiosity.

The ads aren't my fault. If you don't like them, perhaps you would like to pay for some hosting?
As a fellow scientist, I am sure you appriciate the importance of surveys like this .I am not a spammer and anyone who thinks I am can contact me on MSN (peter900110@hotmail.com) and talk to me about my exact motives.
I personally don't think this is the approach of a scientist. People will say anything on a survey. Some visitors will even make stuff up for the sake of throwing the survey off. If you are really trying to get an "accurate representation of the population" I think you will need a much different approach.
