Not-So-Casual Wednesday

Via a pseudonymous LiveJournal, an online study that combines the fun of clicking radio buttons with the thrill of doing SCIENCE!

* The study URL is: http://www.homeport.org/~kcat/study3/

* It takes about 15 minutes. You listen to 8 short clips and answer questions about how the people sound. It is easily as fun as a quiz.

* For participating, instead of finding out what muppet tarot card you are, you can choose between being entered into a drawing with a 1 in 10 chance at a $30 iTunes gift certificate, or having $5 donated to Doctors without Borders.

Go help advance the sum of human knowledge, and indulge in your fascination with ticky-boxes at the same time.
