1. Age: 23
2. Gender: Male
3. Religion: None, but I believe in God. I believe the term is... "Freethinker"?

Thankyou for participating guys but I'm already well into my analysis so I'm afraid the last dozen or so people will not be counted. I will post my findings soon.

De Ja Vu, dude: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.95159

Actually, he's a friend of mine in real life and we're on the same course.

I thought so. Two surveys for classes so close together was too much of a coincidence.

 

[Nivag the Owl]

[HEADING=2] Results are in [/HEADING]

Thankyou again to those who participated. The results are now in and the stats have been displayed in the original post. The more in-depth analysis will be here as soon as I can get a hold of it. Because of the current stage I'm at, I'm no longer taking surveys, so don't waste your time taking it. Unless you want to, of course. But they won't be taken into account.

 

[ace_of_something]

neat; i'm sad to find out that the escapist is a total sausagefest though.

What are Lutherian, deist and humanist? Also I realy like the charts. They look cool. Oh and I love the fact the ps3 is the lowest console.
