So what do you think they were doing with the gerbil thing?

wait a minute. nevermind. Now I'm not going to be able to get Richard Gere out of my head.

I took the survey, too. I hope I win the iPod! :)

done... hide the rodents!

Ok - I got an explaination for the reason the questions are worded the way they are.

She said something about psychometrics and established psychological measures, and if she could have made up her own measures she would have worded the questions differently.

See that's exactly what I was thinking. MmmHmmm..

Ang, if you are reading this, lend a hand here.

took it....
now i wanna know just how weird i REALLY am.
from the survey, of course. You all know already.

Does my sig make me look fat?

No, it just makes you look gay.

Sorry.

and capnhowdy - errm....yes, we do know already.

hmmmm... I resemble that remark.
I'm sending you a bag of ice for Christmas. ;)

Silly. That was Jerry Penacoli.

Ummm ... bullshit?

I've taken classes in psychometrics, test construction, and so on. The results of her study are going to end up being off, very off, because a high proportion of the questions REQUIRE that you be homosexual in order to answer them. She needed either to completely rephrase the questions or to add a "not applicable" choice.

Hey - I just have my high school diploma. What do I know?

I got a reply from the test giver and based on their response it feels like the questions were canned. They didn't seem entirely comfortable with the wording either.

Either they are happy with flawed results or they are testing for something other than what they are announcing. All due respect to the researcher, but man, that is probably the lamest topic I have ever seen. Should go great in a journal, though.

WHEW!!!!

Then we're not all gay after all. :bolt:
