For the sake of simplicity, I will now quote from an e-mail by Jonathan Elcock, a member of the Committee for the Advancement of Role-Playing Games (as am I):
Some researchers from the University of Ohio have put up an online questionniare intended to survey the motivations of people who role play, war game, board game and play CCGs up at www.gamesurvey.org. This will take you to http://research.comm.ohio-state.edu/projects/bguillory/gamer/gamersurvey.htm but www.gamersurvey.org is easier to publicise. There has been some discussion of the survey both at rpg.net (http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=261805) and on the forums of the Wargamer, who are co-funding the research alongside GAMA [the Game Manufacturers Association](http://www.wargamer.com/forums/tm.asp?m=168268&mpage=1&key=). As I said on the forums at rpg.net, I think there are some issues with the questionniare but recognise that there is some potential for usefulness coming from the research. I would encourage those reading this to participate in this survey. |

Yeah, I took it. I wonder about the strength of the statistics behind it, though. As Mr. Elcock observed, I also think there are "some issues" with the questionaire. Still, I will be curious to see the outcome. |
