Each item in this survey consists of a pair of alternatives, lettered a or b. Please select the one statement of each pair which you more strongly believe to be true. Be sure to select the one you actually believe to be more true, rather than the one you think you should choose or the one you would like to be true. There are no right or wrong answers in this survey, only your personal beliefs.
To choose a statement for each pair, simply use your mouse to select the button, either a or b, which represents the statement you believe is most true. Be sure to choose a statement for every single item. When making your choices, try notto be influenced by your previous choices. Just treat each item as independent when making your choices.
In some cases you may find that you believe both statements are more true or that neither one is most true. If that happens, just select the one you more strongly believe to be true.
Remember to select that alternative for each item pair which you personally believe to be more true.
