Thanks for making an exception! I’ve always taken a perverse delight in surveys, questionaires, and other such forms, the more bureaucratic and obtuse, the better.

I will publish the results, question by question, in an update to this post tomorrow. I’m sorry that, apparently, PollDaddy doesn’t display results of surveys the way it does for its much simpler polls — this is the first time I’ve ever used the feature. But for the survey author, they offer complete breakdowns, e.g. for Page 10, “If all of your friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump too?”: So far 32 respondents, or 71 percent, obviously don’t care about their friends and said No. Only seven people — 16 percent — admitted to being mindless sheeple and said Yes, while another six (13 percent) were typical “give me convenience or give me death” Americans (and others), and chose the third option, “Only if I didn’t have to change my underwear.”
