Social aspects of gaming survey - Page 2

I did mention this in the "addition comments" section of that for general practicality of the assessment it's important to take into account the viewpoints of those taking the tests and their perspective's of themselves may be different than whats rational and logical.

Tldr - From the results of the survey you cannot make direct generalizations from the results back towards the tested group; however, you can make generalizations of what they think and perceive of themselves - since that is what is being tested here.

Took the survey and hit on your girlfriend

She found it amusing. I'm sure that's not the response you were going for. ^^

Yeah, she considered adding that but then felt it wasn't completely necessary.
Thanks for the feedback though.

Also, a big thank you to everyone who's been completing it. She's had a big jump in numbers since I posted it here and it's made her quite giddy.

Happy to help, make sure you take full advantage of that ^ ^

Completed, good length. Sometimes surveys get too be too long. This is a short survey with good questions.

Everybody's happy then.

I'm turning in for the night.
Thanks to all of you who've given us your input. You've been a big help.

Please do keep taking the survey if you haven't already as it probably won't be until tomorrow afternoon/evening that she starts collecting the results.

Once again, thanks!

A big thanks to everyone who did the survey last night (or whatever time of day it was for you).

The response has been much bigger than my girlfriend had hoped for.
She's gonna be the coolest girl at college.

People love to hop on opportunities to shamelessly divulge information about themselves ^^

Overall a well put together survey. As stated previously I too would be very interested to see the results of this. I feel like people outside of the gaming community really underestimate how important the social aspect of games and surrounding activities are to a lot of us.

Did survey.

I guess I might be an outlier. I really don't enjoy a lot of the social aspects of gaming. I despise team games, I don't really like talking to people on sc2 about anything other than sc2. I don't really bond with online friends now, though I did a bit a few year ago. I played WoW, but was reluctant to play with people I hadn't already known IRL beforehand most of the time. I mean I'm here on teamliquid I guess, but when I sign on to bnet, it's all business.

Now socializing about spectating competitive starcraft is another thing. That's fun, like watching a football game with your friends or something.
