I took his survey and it really is painless. It doesn't take but a minute to help him out, so I urge Chess.com members to pitch in if they can! Thanks! He's a really nice guy.
Can anyone help with my chess/psychology thesis?

Hi everyone,
I'm a psychology student (and a chess player) in the process of doing a thesis on chess training methods and the attainment of expertise. I have created a questionnaire and was hoping that some rated chess players might be able to help me out by completing one for me? I have uploaded my chess questionnaire online, so anyone curious can take a look at http://rapidshare.com/files/212380119/ThesisQ.doc .
I hope it is not too cheeky to post something like this, but I am rather restricted in who I can actually ask to participate in this
study. Most students simply ask other students to take part but that obviously can't be done in a specialised area such as chess. Still, I wanted to do a project on something I'm passionate about that would hopefully turn out to be interesting to other chess players.
To be honest, I'm now quickly running out of time to collect the data so any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't like to ask for something for nothing so I am more than happy to send out a few nice chess e-books as a thank you :) My e-mail address is Jim@homepc82.freeserve.co.uk if anybody is kind enough to participate, it's only 39 questions on a simple 'pick an option' scale and wouldn't take too long. I'm hoping that participants will get something out of it as well, and I can always post up the study at the end if it is of interest to anyone.
Thanks very much,
Jim
