Welcome

So what's this all about, then?

This stochastically designed, heuristic questionnaire has been statistically balanced within a four percent error margin to explicate the delta in relative social / psychodynamic status of a subset of American premillenial society, vis-a-vis economic, educational, philosophical, and other relevant factors. Either that, or I'm just being nosy.

What's this got to do with our high school reunion?

Not a whole hell of a lot, frankly. We were just curious about what happened to all of us during the nineties, and thought you might be too. It'll give those of us who won't be able to make it to the real reunion some way to participate -- and will give the rest of you a chance to find out beforehand who's worth schmoozing for a job, or a date, or both.

How's it work?

This is a really long questionnaire -- don't feel you have to answer every question at once, or even at all. You can always come back and change your answers later on. If you feel a question is offensive, too invasive of your privacy, doesn't apply to you, or is just plain dumb, just skip it and move on. Use a number two pencil and remember to fill in each circle completely, leaving no stray marks.

Privacy

Some questions below have a "secret" label next to them. If this is selected, nobody but you will be able to see your answer to that question: secret answers will be used only in statistics (i.e. 45% of the class has an inordinate fondness for peanut butter) or displayed anonymously. That way we can find out the dirt on each other without necessarily having to reveal how dirty we are. All non-secret answers will be displayed on the page with your name on it, and may also be randomly selected for display elsewhere, if it's interesting enough.

You forgot to include _________

If there's a multiple-choice question that doesn't have the answer you would want, or if you want to suggest a new question, or if you just feel like a chat, send email to daniel@danielbeck.net.


The first thing you should do is pick a password, so nobody else can come peek at your private answers (or change them). Pick anything you're going to remember easily; it's case-sensitive, so capital letters do make a difference. When you're done with that, click the "Next Page" button and you're ready to go...
