DARK 0 #1 November 12, 2008 ok guys just a little help needed. im doing research for college into the contrasting views of people who do not participate in extreme sports and people who do. I have two surveys done out both with ten questions and neither should take more than 5 minutes to fill out. Id really appreciate if as many people as possile take the time to fill it out as i need at least 50 respondents to each survey. I am focusing on skydiving for convenience for me. The first survey is for people with either NO skydives or just ONE skydive. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=J7FZPY1ihF7ronW96siW_2bA_3d_3d The second survey is for People with more than one skydive. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=AtsXfRrwpn3nTWYByn3qxw_3d_3d Thanks in advance, mark Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #20 November 13, 2008 I got stuck on question 3. I don't consider myself a big risk taker in general, but I don't see how any skydiver can call themselves risk averse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I HAD to check an option even though I had an "other" I chose the closest one but there was no button for "other." people on other sites have had this problem too the software allows me to add in an other box and it allows me to require an answer to the question it dosnt seem to allow me to have the other box as the answer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
