Today, I received approval from the Human Subjects Committee to conduct the Longevity Attitudes Survey.
Carry on.

I thought I'd provide an update on the Longevity Attitude Survey project. I have so far collected 167 fully complete surveys. Preliminary analysis looks pretty interesting. I definitely found some statistically significant relationships which I'll share later in the form of a report. More completed surveys may trickle in at this point but not many.
Once again, if you are an immortalist, transhumanist, etc.... PLease DO NOT take the survey. I'm trying to understand the GENERAL population's attitudes, not you outliers. ;-)
However, if you have any ideas for where I might find some more participants, please let me know.
I do still plan on accessing a special interest group; namely a Yahoo Group of Harley-Davidson Sportster Enthusiasts numbering around 3000 members. I thought it might be interesting to compare the atttitudes of a group or relative risk-takers to that of the general population. There's a place on the survey for people to identify themselves as a group member.
If anyone thinks of another group to solicit for participation, please contact ME rather than soliciting the group yourself. I want to standardize the solicitation process.
Meanwhile, I've collected all the respondent's comments so far on the following web page:

In general, I think people found the survey interesting and thought provoking, though there were some criticisms that the questions seem biased. Enjoy!

good stuff! Though why do you not want us to take the survey when there's a place to identify ourselves as imminst members? We should sure make a good positive control.
What groups have ya got so far?
I also did web experiments, basically on how to advertise immortalism and got heaps of participants from www.socialpsychology.org and http://genpsylab-wexlist.unizh.ch/. These, however, are mostly undergrad psychology students.
If you need anything I'd be happy to share what I learned from that project.
Best wishes, John.

I've added the rest of the comments from the survey so far at the top of the page. The last group of folks were very religious it seemed. I'll check out your links. Yes, I suppose it would be a good idea to get the data from a group of immortalist/transhumanists just to see how far we differ from the other groups. I'll make it so.

Does that sound familiar at all? Do your results look similar?

Thanks John
John, I forgot to thank you
No worries, you did'nt :-)
Good. I take it the differences between Total LAS and my i-score are owing to the method. A normal around neutral sounds to me like one hell of a favorable result. How did you get 'em to be that positive? I'm looking forward to your publication! Please let me know when you got something.

except the Political Compass test ; I scored a left sided libertarian.
Anyways, I'm trying to brainstorm some survey/poll questions so if anyone has a copy for ideas they would be appreciated.
