You’ll notice some fairly dramatic changes from the initial 2017 survey, including a more traditional agree/disagree scale, randomized question order within each section, a greater number of shorter sections, and a more thorough explanation of how data is being used after collection.
Another significant change: all demographics questions are now optional. The only mandatory questions are those regarding how you want your data handled.
Demographics are also considerably more detailed than last year. In particular, the highly requested autistic and disabled trends will now be easier to identify.
Again, all demographics questions are optional.
We highly encourage you to crosspost this survey to any platforms you like.
This includes forums, reddit, chat groups, twitter, social media, youtube, so on and so forth. You are welcome to spread this link far and wide. We will be doing our best to crosspost everywhere we can, but we’re only 6 people. There’s only so far we can reach.
As with last year, data will be compiled and released at 100, 250, 500, and 1000 respondents, then every additional 1000 respondents.
This survey will be closed at either 15,000 respondents or 31 December 2018, whichever comes first. Until the survey is closed, you are welcome to edit or delete your responses at any time.
As of this posting, the 2017 survey has been closed.
“Perfectionism is not self-improvement. Perfectionism is, at its core, about trying to earn approval and acceptance. Most perfectionists were raised being praised for achievement and performance (grades, manners, rule-following, people-pleasing, appearance, sports). Somewhere along the way, we adopt this dangerous and debilitating belief system: I am what I accomplish and how well I accomplish it.”
— Dr. Brene Brown (The Gifts of Imperfection, Cultivating Self-Compassion, Guidepost #2)
