Extreme Sport Psychology Study

Hi everyone,

I'm a final year student at the University of Liverpool, England, and I am performing an online study on personality and sensation seeking behaviour in extreme sport athletes. I am looking for male and female participants aged 18-29 and have English as their 1st language. The study is looking particularly at gender differences so to all you female riders, please spare 10 mins of your time! On completion of the questionnaire you will be given a psychological analysis of both your personality and sensation seeking behavioural traits, so if especially if you are looking to procrastinate, it doesn't take long and its worthwhile doing!! head to:

http://www.pn21.co.uk

The study is not just for extreme sport athletes, and Id really appreciate it if you could pass this on to friends ect (especially females), and if a moderator could make this sticky? thanks for your time,

Joe

Great idea. I've always wondered about the cognitive profile of those who really push it.

Great survey.
However, it will have voluntary bias, which isn't that bad because, it is meant as a stratified survery in a sense.

everyone shouldn't be surprised by how it describes them, the personality traits that the questions lead to are pretty obvious.

Q: Do you make fun of people a lot?
A: NEGATIVE

Conclusion: you are acceptable of others!


OMG IT GOT ME PERFECTLY

Q: Do you need drugs or alcohol to have a good time?
A: NEGATIVE

Conclusion: you do not need drugs or alcohol to have a good time!

WOW IT GOT ME AGAIN!

Fairly accurate.

Though, I fucking hate the way it related me to 'illegal drug use and unprotected sex' as well as 'binge drinking'.

I am fucking against all 3 of those points, I have but never will again smoke pot, do not drink except very very rare occassions, and believe unprotected sex to be an absolute insult to my intelligence and personality.
Please sort out your evaluations, having studied Psych myself, i know that some of the examples used in this study and the evaluations are neither neccessary or relevant.

Bullshit
