Done. Easy and well written. (Often we get questionably written ones on here which often makes me doubtful about whether I should do more.)

I loathe questions like this, especially when there is no middle-ground "neither/both" or "don't know" option and I cannot skip any of the questions:

"I am able to do things as well as most other people." (pick from strongly agree/agree/disagree/strongly disagree)

I cannot answer that sort of question in a useful way when there are no specific things mentioned, not even any context offered. I could answer "strongly agree" or "strongly disagree", "agree" or "disagree" and any one of those answers could be either true or false depending on what specific thing-doing-ability/context I was thinking of and you would have no way of ever knowing what my answer actually meant....so what is the point of answering it at all?

^ I thought the same. For example I'm able to write reports better than some people can, but I have extreme difficulty tying my shoes.

You need to get Permission from Alex to solicit participation in surveys on WrongPlanet.

Hi all

Thanks for your interest in taking part - I have PM'd Alex for permission to re-post the link. Really sorry that I didn't do this to begin with. I will update this when I hear back from him.

Thank you also to those who have taken part and given feedback. This will be really useful in helping us improve future research projects.
