Our survey now has been open for one month.

So far, this thread has been read over 2,000 times, with only

310 people clicking the survey link.

164 people have completed the survey, of whom

77 are castrated (chemically/surgically/physically)

While this is a very nice beginning. We are certainly hoping for much more data from those who read the Eunuch Archive, whether they are registered members or not. The information will help us to explain eunuchs both to the medical community and to the general public.

All answers are completely anonymous. The only information about you that we will have is what you provide on the survey itself.

2,000 unique visitors or just 2K total? I know I've looked at it several times, but only did the survey once.....

Still wondering what I should do if it is still open when my status changes...

What the counter shows is how many times it's read, not unique visitors. I've checked it several times, too, in order to read the comments.

Survey #2 had 3,086 respondents. While I doubt that we'll get anywhere near that number, we'd certainly like to get as many as possible to better understand this group. But, one response per person is what we want.

I finally got around to doing it.

The first time I binned it off as it was way too long.

My thoughts haven't changed but somehow I had the patience to complete it this time.: laugh:

I just finished the survey. I was impressed at the large number of questions and the wide range of them. A couple of misgivings though. Read on...

As someone who works with survey data (not this particular one), how you ask a question is very important. If you want to lead someone to an answer, ask it one way... Want to lead them from it, ask another. Want it to be neutral, ask yet a different way.

Though I'm not sure I saw that in this instance, I could see where someone may think what you have. Still, with all its flaws, I'll take this survey. Once of the main arguments against eunuchs and nullos receiving care is there's no research. Yet the vast majority saying that would never bother to, well, do the research.

I agree. Often, several very similar questions will be asked, not so much to see if the person is being honest, but to detect certain nuances.

In this survey, I found a number of questions that all seemed to be biased in the same way, and for this reason I expected to find some very similar questions biased the other way, so that the nuances could be detected. But I didn't see any of the oppositely biased questions. It led me to believe that the survey itself has a certain bias and makes assumptions about the person being surveyed. It may not have been intentional, but in my opinion that bias was still there. As a result, I went back and changed a couple of answers, because I didn't believe that I could answer those questions in a strictly honest way without giving a completely misleading impression.

answered the questions

All did.

The survey did feel as though there were some assumptions being made though.

Even so, thorough.

Just filled out the survey!

Yes the survey was done- quite happy to receive anything else you might need from me. Keep up the good work!
