5 minutes of your time rating Bikeradar here in a multiple choice survey will help make my results for a MSc statistically significant to avoid submitting a cr.ppy paper that leaves me worrying for the next 6 months while the mathematicians marking it have to endure me wielding stats like a blunt object. If you only do one good thing this year, please(!) help me get my MSc in just 5 mins of your time by adding data to my small pot of results.

  • Done.

    Just a question though. Are you not likely to get skewed results by just inviting people to the survey from forum posts?

    For example:

    14. How likely are you to start or continue to participate over the next 12 months - such as reading information, posting, interacting with other members, contributing in some way to the community?

    Well if I've started the questionairre from a link I found on the forum, I've answered that question just by clicking the link surely?

    I appreciate that it does clearly say you're not just looking at bikeradar, but still. If all your doing is getting subjects from forums, they're all likely to give broadly similar answers to a number of the sections.

    I also appreciate that future publishing are not likely to hand out email addresses to you. Nor would I expect them to. Makes for a bit of a quandry though.

    The first set of questions needs another option - top two are basically the same, needs a 'not that important for Bikradar Option' or 'low priority'.

    How many entries are you expecting?

    Loads it much better on a likert scale, this seems to be specific to BR so not very comparable if you change the questions. It matters a lot.
