Do your part for science!

By ReyGitano 29 Comments

Hey guys, I need your help on this one. I'm a psychology major at UC Berkeley and I have a research paper due by the end of the semester. The problem is I still haven't actually done the experiment that the paper is suppose to be on. Not a problem!

This is where you all come in. I need you to read a short story (no longer than a paragraph) and answer 4 quick questions that don't even require a sentence.
Fast, harmless, and you'll be doing a great service for science... or pseudo science.
Either way Cave Johnson would be proud.
So just post here, and I'll pm you the story and the questions. Yes, a volunteer sample is a poor way to do actual experimentation if you expect to find reliable results, but damn it I'm a busy man.
We're done here

Done and done, though as stated in my PM to the OP I had a weird thing were all the question never fit in the PM, it was odd, I ended up having to copy and paste the question into the text box to read it all.

Just a heads up in case anyone else gets the same.

This is 1960's Cave Johnson, I still have a company to build. Besides, there's no horrible side-effects to this experiment... that we know of.

Yes, but our limos are broken, so you'll have to find your own way to the bay area.
@Chop said:

We're working on robots for that kind of thing.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and I'm one step away from using a sample of 5 people and calling it representative of the population.

What level of education is this? Even considering doing that burns my academic soul...

@Vodun: It's the bottom of the undergrad ladder. It's not suppose to be well done in the slightest, though it can be if you wanted to do it. The real point behind it is just to make sure that you can write a paper and can do the mathematical analyses. If they wanted us to do a accurate scientific experiment, I would hope they would give us more than two weeks -_-. Though apparently someone once used a Harry Potter personality quiz they posted online and got a sample size in the tens of thousands.
