Post College assignment

Hey everyone,

For my first post I was wondering if you guys would be interested in participating in a survey that will help me determine if computer games in general are marketed more towards the male population. This is for a college assignment and all answers are greatly appreciated. It is only 8 questions long.

Male version:

Female version:

Cheers,

StormRaptor

Done the survey, can I ask that you post what sort of results you get though? It'd be interesting to see how it comes out...

You might want to check the Speak Your Mind Forum.. in which there is a thread dealing with that very issue. It includes a fair amount of research, data etc. and other pertinent discussion.
It can be found here: http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=49323

I just filled out your survey. One suggestion, you might want to consider creating some additional options for the last question. In addition to "yes" and "no," how about answers like, "not sure," "to a certain degree," "I think it depnds on the genre of the game."

Survey taken

However as this forum is geared towards discussion of the Gamebanshee network, you might want to post any further inquiries in the Speak Your Mind forum. Also, be sure to check out the thread dragon wench referred you to; I believe you'll find it interesting, in the least

If you buy less than 3 games per annum, you answer less. If you buy more... you answer yes http://img95.exs.cx/img95/945/ninja1.gif


edit: the second less was meant to be a yes; I'm not sure what exactly I was thinking when I said less for the second time, but I'll leave it as it is as it's beautifully nonsensical.

Give me a hard time? Why, thanks for the concern, but I am not in any way affiliated with the quiz and thus couldn't care less about any semantic or logical typos within it
