A big thank you to all of you who helped me with the research for my graduate course. I started a new post to discuss the results, thinking that the other post was mostly about who was going to take the test.

I will send out individual results as soon as I can. If you still haven't taken the survey and you'd like to, I will try and score your results when I get a chance, but for the next week I'll be busy writing up the presentation I need to give to my professor.

I finished collecting the data and have posted a summary of the data at
<a href="http://kism.net/survey/results.htm" target="_blank">http://kism.net/survey/results.htm </a> if any are interested.

Glad to be of help Father Bronze, it was fun [img]smile.gif[/img] Look forward to those results [img]smile.gif[/img]

ROTFL, interesting the highest points re Poor Attention are in the 36-40 range, perhaps the pre-geezer factor? :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Not afraid you flunked ? :D

Oh I'm sure I scored accordingly with the chart re Poor...poor.. what was it again? :D

I also found it interesting that the Ironworks women were more positive and constructive while the men were guilt ridden with fear. LOL. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hahaha! Alright! One Up for the gals on Ironworks! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Not that that you guys did anything wrong or anything in your test... :D http://www.wizardrealm.com/smilies/jackass.gif

ROTFL! That's ok, LadyZ, if they did,we'd forget it anyway.....now where did I leave that keyboard...... :D :D :D

I don't get it - what was the survey intended to find out?

cross index of daydream patterns w/general life outlook across age+ sex demos?

how big was the p. ? did you survey other than gamers/boarders?

......see, this is why I fastidiously avoided any real research in my degree project, and just had them watch tv commercials from US and Korea in the major consumer categories, then had'em do a Likert scale questionaire with some baseline keepers tucked away in it, seperated results by age 'n gender back-referenced to the baseliners....oh, I get it!!!

IT WAS COLONEL MUSTARD IN THE LIBRARY WITH THE DRAFT THESIS!!!

May your p. always be >.05 :D

How uncharitable! I'll take a p<.05, please! ;) :D

But yeah, I'd really like to know what your hypotheses were, FB! And what are your conclusions now?

The documentation for the inventory gives control group scores. So I have that comparison as a starting point.

My intent is to survey gamers and see if they have healtier imaginations compared to the control group.

However, in the process of doing the survey, I realized that my study isn't the most accurate. After surveying you guys at Ironworks (I don't have any other online friends :( ) I realize that whatever conclusions I draw may not be because of the survey respondents play video games. The results may be because the survey respondents are computer users, Internet forum browsers, or Ironworksers. Anyway, I have to figure out how to write up the study.

My wife, recent recipient of a degree in Statistics (Yeah!), is going to look at my results to determine if the results are statistically significant.

You might have to also take into account the kind of games people play here.This site is after all mostly about rpg/fantasy style games which would tend to appeal to more imaginative minds then sports games or sim games ect.

Uh, is it to late to take the test?
