If possible, it would be nice to hear the outcome of this study.
My age is 53, your survey question only went up to 50.
I missed seeing a question where one could identify their sexual orientation. I am gay and some of my responses might have been more completely understood and be integrated into the survey with an opportunity to identify as such. Thank you for the oppor
Part of the survey didn't make sense. The page that had topics listed- agree or disagree. How can I agree with the topic when you haven't elaborated the topic. topic= abortion Do you agree or disagree. Well- the topic is abortion. that is just a topic. I
What is the main research question of this survey?
I am currently 53 years old. I selected 50 years old in answer to the question because it was the highest number and it was mandatory to answer the question. I teach the subject of Government so I feel I was able to answer the questions about government
I would have liked more choices. Hope this helped.
I enjoyed having my brain picked! The required age question didn't go high enough, though, I am 53. (So is my twin sister---heehee:) I am curious as to what this will reveal. I think some of the questions were very hard to answer, depending on differen
Some of the questions i didn't know the answer to it, I just guessed. The age question didn't go old enough for me
A lot of the questions were extreme and I wouldn't actually say that I am one or the other. I wasn't sure what you were getting at so they may not describe me. I am sorry that I might not have understood what you were trying to ask. Thank you for getti
Very interesting survey..Made me really think about things
The questions were too pointed. No one should have to reveal their political or religional preferences, or how strongly they feel about the subject. Not a survey I agree with.
I think my twin sister has lead a very different life from me in that she is less cynical, less tarnished (for lack of a better word) and much more spirtual and likely to believe in God, for example, than me. I'm more "scientific" and less like to g
My age is 53. The choice stopped at 50. I don't agree with being asked about religious preferences. Why does every survey have to have a political aspect to it? Thank you.
I have a bad back so went through the survey quite quickly, don't have much time for sitting anymore.
I have no problem with Ethnics celebrating their own religion as long as they leave my rights alone and they do not get special treatment. I do believe illegal immigrants should be sent home as they are draining our economy, medical and they shouldn't be
One section of the survey where I had to say how strongly I agreed or disagreed with my previous replys was confusing. It didn't seem like a very accurate way to assess my views.
MADE ME THINK ABOUT MY FEELINGS TOWARDS OTHERS!
The question about age only allowed choices up to age 50. I am 53.
very interesting, haven't thought much about some of the questions.
I work for the government as you can see by my email address. Please keep all correspondance via US Postal Service, NOT to this email address.
I thought that several of the questions asked me to pick between two alternatives and neither fit. It would have been easier to select a range as with other questions.
I do not know if my twin was contacted for the survey
IT WAS INTERESTING TO READ SOME OF THE QUESTIONS
Interesting questions. My age is actually 52 - the maximum allowed was 50
Interesting questions...I felt some of them in the beginning were a bit strange. I agreed with part of the statement but didn't agree with the other part at all. I don't feel like I was given a adequate choice of how I really feel about the subject matte
I feel that some of the questions were subjective and not exactly the way I would have answered. Questions with words like all, none, always or never were not fair because sometimes the answer should have been "sometimes". That was not an option for all
What a socialist survey! The choices were loaded and not the only options to living in America. Oh well. In case you sent my twin a questionnaire, she may have moved since you last had contact with her.
Some of the questions are very threatenting about politics....
Note - I am 53 years old. The age question only went up to 50 so I entered that. Thanks
I'm 53 but that wasn't an option. It was an interesting survey.
I had to correct the Completion ID. Age selection only went to 50. I am 53.
You are drop down was not high enough, I am 53. Some of the questions dealing with money is relative to how much you have.
I would like to know how many twins in this survey have different polictical views.
My twin says she was not given this survey so I gave her your email and phone number. Hopefully she will contact you soon. You may not have her current address.
I would be very interested to see the results of the survey, and/or the report that is written from this data. Good luck.
Many of the questions did not appear to have anything to do with being a twin. Only towards the end of the survey did I feel like the questions related to me being a twin.
I thought this survey was to know about the twins not about politics. Otherwise this survey was okay.
Very interesting questions; no other response
It is hard to judge certain questions with an absolute. Every situation is handle on it's own merit. All opinions would be based individually, so the answers were based on what was available (Multiple choice) maybe not a correct answer for each situatio
My age is 53 as is my twin. The slide ended at 50.
Fascinating questions that made me think. One issue I felt was missing was what state you live in...I lived above the the Mason/Dixon Line for 20 yrs. as an adult, now that I live below it. How others see me politically is very different than how I see my
I didn't really get the warm cool response to ethnic and religious groups.
for some of the questions, there should have been a choice of neither.
My age is 52 and that was not an option to the question about my age. Long and at times wanted to quit.
I was diapponted in the options of a lot a questions ,there was either one way or other and neither one fit the what I believe , Like a lot of surveys they want to fit everyone in a certain bucket , but unless you can answer the questions truthfully. who
Your age question doesn't go high enough. My twin and I are 52 and will be 53 on August 17.
I am not 50 years old, your choices did not include 52. Also, when we had to rate our feelings on previous questions, it would be help full to know what our answers were. (I am 52). This was a lot easier than some other studies I have participated in.
Very interesting. As with most surveys of this type, it is sometimes frusterating because I would like to nuance (sp?)my response.
Thought questions were very vaguely worded. Will you be sending out a letter after the survey has been concluded and data analyzed - to share results and purpose of survey - with survey participants?
I haven't heard from you for so long, I was beginning to wonder if the study was still going. I've enjoyed being a part of it. Birth Year, 1955.
my age is 52y/o, I wasn't given that option. So I put 50y/o down.
i have found i am very ignorant to political things...not real interested because i dont understand them..i forget them easily and are confussing...but have answered the best to my knowledge.
it would be nice to be sent a recap of the survey. the survey purpose is to determine political attitude & behavior... how do you plan to use the survey? colleges/university's have a bent toward "liberal" bias...as much as possible, do not allow bi
Interesting questions, the social issues were difficult to answer where there were only 2 choices. It was hard to select only one as many of the items I had not really thought about so specifically. Some good food for thought!
The age box goes to age 50. I am really 54.
Thank you for allowing me to participate. Will we receive any results on this survey?
I don't know what good this survey or poll will do for you. The only benefit i can see is a check for $35.00. Thank-you and have a nice day.
Would be interested in seeing the results of your survey. Will an email be sent with a link to access?
most of my answers were not so black and white
I WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED IN THE COME OF THIS STUDY. PLEASE SEND ME A COPY OF THE RESULTS
THIS SURVEY WAS VERY INTERESTING, AND MADE ME DO SOME THINKING ON HOW I REALLY DID FEEL ABOUT SOME ISSUES.
On the age question, since I'm 53, my only option was to choose 50.
Your age question didn't go past 50. I'm 53.
1) The question regarding Stem Cell Research should have been split: I do not support embryonic cell research ... but I DO support adult cell research. I can't believe you overlooked the distinction -- your results will be skewed. 2) I grew up in a l
This was uniquely fun! My husband loves a survey like this especially since he is sure my answers and my twins will be very different indeed. Let us know how you will use the results. More understanding in this world would be a great thing. God bles
The reason I believe my twin and I are so different in our political views is this: She and her husband lost an 18 month old baby to meningitis. This was her first born child. After that she became very religious with a big influence from her husband.
I would be interested in the results of this survey, if that is possible. I appreciate and enjoy participating in this research.
My age is 54 years old. It was not a choice so I chose the closest number 50.
THE AGE QUESTION WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH. I AM 53
I was glad to help out in the survey and Iam willing to help out anytime
Some questions seemed to steer to a conclusion and some questions where they had us choose a one statement over the other some of the choices seemed unrelated; detached from each other.
Age maximum is 50 in drop down box. I am actually 54.
When my age was asked, I put 50 because the list did not go any higher than 50. My twin and I are 54 years old! Thanks for the survey - I actually learned a little about myself!
I am 54 years old (not 50). It would not let me go any higher then 50. This survey is quite political. I thought it would ask more questions on twins not politics. I enjoyed doing it...Makes a person think on what kind of person I am. I will look for
SOME QUESTIONS ON SURVEYS LIKE THESE BOTHER ME. THE PROVIDED RESPONSES ARE TOO GENERAL. I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO QUALIFY SOME ANSWERS
Very interesting survey!! Makes one think!!
The choices for age only went to 50. I am 53.
The age limits did not go far enough. I am 54
MY AGE IS 53 BUT TO QUESTION OF MY AGE ONLY ALLOWED TO AGE 50
very good questions in my my opinion we have to many laws we do not need to pass a new law every to make people do the right thing
was very interesting and found myself thinking of the differnt ways i find things in the world
your age box only goes up to 50, and I am 54 and alot of participants are going to be older than 50. still bias in questions I forget which one but something AND something which made it not answerable in the fashion I would have liked.
the age question only goes up to age 50 on the drop down list and I am 54 yrs old
I'd love to see the results of this survey when all of the participants have completed it!!
I would like to be notified on the results and/or use of this survey.
I will do other surveys you have that pay. Most the other surveys that I've tried are scams.
My age is 54yr old the survey only went up to 50 yrs old.
The question regarding age - I could not put in my correct age of 53, your scale went to age 50 only.
My age is listed incorrectly, the survey would not let me bypass this question. So I chose the age closest to my correct age.
Very leading questions; many questions were too broad
Can I see the study results as compared to the field and my twin?
I feel REAL bad about the answers I had to give regarding my twin sister and I this past year and a half! We USED to talk on the phone almost every day,and saw each other at LEAST once a week! But HER life took a "negative" turn and things have changed a
Interesting, will you be sharing the results?
I believe that we need to get back to the basics of life and we need to teach our children and grandchildren to be responsible for their actions and that there are consequences if our actions are not appropriate. I think politicians and some people in ou
I sent you an e-mail a little earlier today when I couldn't get to this site. Please disregard it. This survey was difficult to answer some of the questions, because it had a liberal slant. When I was a college student (18-21), I was not as conservative
I'm interested in what this info will be used for? I really believe our country was founded on christian principles and the farther we get away from that. it's the demise and destruction of our freedom and this country. Christian values and freedom is w
when they asked about age only went to 50 and I am 54 just wanted to comment on that. thanks
Re the age question, I am actually 53. The choices available went only to age 50.
Why did the age only go up to 50? I am 54 and there was no way to mark that.
Age - I put 50 but am 54 because there were no choices above 50 Also - marital status - should have domestic partner or same sex relationship as option. I checked living together though I have been in a same sex relationship for 27 years.
The age question did not permit me to give the correct answer [54]; the highest age listed was 50 [which I selected].
Hard to answer some of the questions, I do think that the government would be better if terms were limited to 2, like it is for the president. I think that the government needs to lessen some of their benefits that they accrue.
Since Barrack Obama won the Democratic nomination I am voting for him since then (and not just if the election were here held today).
I'm happy to have the opportunity to complete this survey. Thank you.
Sorry I didn't complete this the first time you sent it out.
I would be interested to see how my answers matched my twin sister. Our life is very interesting and some day I know she will write a book that discribes her life experience.
When you asked for my age, it had a top limit of 50 and I am 54. The survey took me longer to fill out than the expected time you had mentioned in the letter.
My age, which was required, was not listed! I'm actually 54.
It has been 54 years since we were born and to my knowledge I have no idea if we had blood tests to confirm being identical twins. We were always told we were mirror image twins. I am right handed and my brother was left handed made to write right handed
The question about age stops at age 50, I'm 54. Many of the questions seem to have a bias in their wording, i.e., "Did you beat your wife again last night". In this case the political questions tended toward "Which more closely represents your views: a)
The survey went fairly quickly, without too much frustration with similar questions repeated, or poorly worded questions and instructions. I hope you get good results for whatever your research is aiming at.
I was glad to participate, and thank you very much for the $35.00! I would be happy to continue with the Twin Study.
Some of the questions were difficult to give an accurate answer to because the answer was dependent on various things (i.e. time of life)that could not be considered for my response. Also, not sure if family included just immediate family (i.e.parents &
I was more than happy to complete this survey. There were some "interesting" questions.
I would really like a large "twin study" t-shirt and mug rather than the $35.
I wish that there had been more choices when expressing which statement best described my perspective. There are so many variables that go into our society and governments functioning. It will be interesting to find out what you learned from this survey
Perhaps not important, but I am older than the highest age allowed to be chosen (55 years).
Enjoyed it very much. Thanks for resending the invitiation. I missed the deadline date on the original invitation and felt badly. I look forward to helping out more in the future.
I'd like to do this again - the $35. is well worth the well-put questions! ;o)
i am 55..only went to 50 on age question
some questions were not so cut and dried as your choice of answers.
I enjoy doing these surveys. It would be interesting to know what conclusions all these surveys have accomplished through out the years.
The survey was interesting, but challenging to respond. Many questions required definitive response, but many of my beliefs are not quite as "black and white." For example, my preference in supporting citizens with welfare would be to have a better job
You asked for my age and your list didn't excede 50. I am 54
Good luck with all the inconsistancy's.....
My age is 54 but your choices stopped at 50 Well done survey Thanks!
hi, the questions that i answered about government being distrustfull is based on the last 8 yrs. of the g.bush regime. basically i feel government is trying to do good for the people.but not them.I had fun and hope you need my input again.
i am actually 54, box did't allow for greater then 50 this surrvey really makes one evaluate their thinking. thanks for including me.
The questions tend to favor the liberal side of issues and slant toward that bias
Have you read, Eric Hoffer, "Truth Imagine" or "The True Believer"? His thoughts could add even more questions to just how extreme we all could or should be.
"LIFE" CHANGED MY VIEWS FROM THAT OF MY TWIN'S - WE USED TO THINK ALIKE ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.
At times I was hoping that I was answering the questions correctly. It seemed like at times I might be contradicting myself. But I did my best and as honest as possible. Have a great weekend. Take care and God bless!
BORING QUESTIONAIRE--DID NOT APPEAL TO ME--POLITICS IS NOT MY FAVORITE SUBJECT.
I really liked the questions - nice mix of political and personal atatributes - I love being a twin and we (my twin and I) have always enjoyed particpating - thank you for all the ahrd work you do and the lesson we learn from twin. Personally, I don't thi
Why does the age only go up to fifty? I am 55.
The age question only went up to 50? My age is 55. Some very thought provoking questions.
My correct age is 55...that question seemed to only allow choices up to 50; I hope that's not an indicatation that the twins studies are revealing that twins are keeling over at 50!
Towards the end of the survey, it asked for my age. You had to select the number but it only went up to age 50. I am 54 years old. I could not enter this manually so I selected age 50.
The age didn't go far enough, I'm over 50
I very much enjoyed participating. Interestingly, your use of the word "investigators" in the introduction gave me pause. I find the term researchers to be more palitable.
Very interesting questions. It would be interesting to see the results of the study.
thank you for sending the twins study to me.
When you asked if I had ever discussed politics with family members when I was growing up and I answered not at all, how am I supposed to then know if I agreed on most political issues and the other questions regarding family views while growing up? We d
Although I don't consider myself to be religious, I do tend to try my best to "do unto others as you would have them do unto you"; basically the golden rule. This is also how we were all taught in my family to believe whether we chose to follow religion
Hi I am 55years old but put 50 down because that was the cap.
I don't think you can agree or disagree with a topic. And some of the opinions or ideas I needed to choose were leading at best. There is a subtext written into much of this.
Very interesting questions. Some thought I do not believe were balenced-neutral. When words like "eternal" are used on one side of the question and the word "never" is not used on the other side of the question you do not have a balenced mean.
My age is 54 and the age scale only went up t 50. Makes me feel old!!!
interesting survey,i would like to know what you do with the answers?
I enjoyed taking the survey. It was interesting
It was great to take some time to think about my views on government and life!
Good job. Would love to see the recap of your research..
Why have such a bias survey? Can't you be more nuetral?
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE CHANCE TO TAKE YOUR SURVEY I REALLY ENJOY TAKING YOUR SURVEYS I WISH THOUGH I COULD SEE HOW MY TWIN ANSWERED THESE SURVEYS WHEN SHE TOOK THEM TO COMPARE OUR ANSWERS. AGAIN THANK YOU! WILL WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT SURVEY TO ARRIVE SO
Difficult to answer some of the questions because I didn't know what you meant by some of the choices. Answers could have gone either way depending upon the definition of the choices. Also, I'm 54 but your options only went to 50.
I am hoping that this survey data is strictly anonymous (participants are not identifiable by anyone but the researchers directly involved in the study). Some of the questions gave "either / or" choices which didn't feel particularly accurate as my ans
"Religion" encompasses everything from cults, legalistic sects and so forth. I do not have religion but a faith in Jesus Christ! Interesting survey.
My age is 54 but the chart only went to 50.
Will we be hearing anything about the results of the survey/research you are doing?
the first section of questions were the most difficult. I would have prefered a third selection! Interesting questions. Hope to see the results.
Interesting. Will the results be published or where can we see the results?
Question #9, which is required, asks an age, but tops out at 50 and I am 55 but checked 50 as it was the oldest available.
Under the age question the list only went to 50, I am 54. There were a couple of questions I would have changed my answer on slightly.
Most of the questions that I answered in the middle choice were hard to answer definitely because, for me, a lot depends on the actual situation. To me, there are no definite answers in most of our "day to day" situations.
I really enjoyed the survey particularly about what I would do with the money situation. Please feel free to contact myself and my twin anytime. We both love to do research studies.
I find this study to be fasinating. Being a twin has had many suprizes over the years.Will we get to see the results f this study?
I consider myself to be a born-again Christian, but not in the sense of the Evangelical Christian right-wing movement that automatically vote Republican. Many of my responses are middle of the road because to me, it depends a lot on how words are define
Quite disappointed that most (90%) of all the questions were about Liberal ideas, voting, and nothing about being at Twin until the last few questions. I would have to think again about doing another survey with you if this is what it is going to include
Some of the questions - the ones where I had to rate from 1 to 10 were quite hard to answer - really made me stop and think. I wish my twin and I had more time to catch up with each other's lives. We both work full-time and live about 16 miles apart, bu
Will responders be given results/conclusions drawn from this survey? I would appreciate hearing your conclusions.
Interesting questions. I would be happy to participate in any future Minnesota Twin Registry studies. The study of twins is fascinating.
My age is 56. The age question only went as high as 50 years old, so I chose that.
I am 56 years old. Your age "meter" only went up to 50.
I suggest proof-reading every question. Sometimes the the subject and verb "disagree" conveying a sense that the study needs a bit of polishing
Thanks for including me in the study. If possible, send (email or mail) me the results of the study.
Will we ever learn of the survey results?
I AM SICK OF THE POLITICAL ADS. THEY DO NO GOOD TO INFORM YOU OF A GOOD CHOICE WHEN VOTING. THOSE AIG SOB'S SHOULD ALL BE IN JAIL AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE LOSE THEIR LIFE SAVINGS. CAN YOU TELL I'M PO'D?
As for the 2008 candidates for government....as usual, may the best liar win!!!!
Some questions were difficult to answer because they wanted black or white answers.
IN THE PAST ALL INFORMATION WAS PRIVATE AND USED ONLY FOR THE SURVEY, I EXPECT THAT IS TRUE IN THIS SURVEY ALSO.
These surveys do not give the option for an opinion's, it was very hard at times for me to choose one over another, and it is very confusing the way you state it whether it is how you think or trying to determine if you are for it or against it, by how it
THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING MYSELF IN THE SURVEY, I ENJOY GETTING THE RESULTS AND DISCUSSING THE SURVEYS WITH MY SISTER AND A FREIND OF MINE WHO IS ALSO AN IDENTICAL TWIN.
Is it possible to receive a copy of the outcome of this survey and what you feel your accomplishments are?
With regard to some of the questions, there was really no right answer. I tried to pick the one closest, but in a few instances neither of the answer was close.
thought provoking questions..hope my responses were helpful.
Too many extreme view questions not enough day to day ethical questions.
I really enjoy participating in the twin study. Most questions were applicable to me which makes it more interesting to participate.
This was a great survey. What I got out of this, is that I need to call my sister more often.
There were a large number of questions, for which the question itself was ambiguous, as in it could be understood on a number of levels each of which would garner a different answer. And there were a large number of questions, for which the answer I'd lik
If possible, I would enjoy getting the any results of the survey.
Your question on age only goes up to 50. I'm 56.
I found it to be very interesting. Would be greay to know how my twin answered, if she took this survey.
I did this in two sittings because the computer froze.
These questions make a person think on where his life is going and make me ponder on the future-I think it will be a great adventure-Thank you for this exercise in thought.
My numeric answer to the interest earned was wrong-
Last name changed, got married in 2005. Interesting survey, experienced first hand the importance of good health insurance, and having financial means to purchase it.
Received only today (the day it needed to be done)! Interesting questions that were sometimes quite difficult to answer. Realized I had some hot buttons (evangelicals -- like my mother), but I also found myself ambivalent about some questions -- no rea
In you question about age, it only went to age 50 and I am age 56!!!!!
What is your reason for the study of twins verses single people? Is there a difference between triplets?
what did politics have to do with twins?
I have done a lot of surveys and many repeat their questions to a point where I get tired of it and have a hard time not just giving any answer so I can get done. Your survey wasn't like that and you kept it interesting, thanks..........
I believe it was in your first question...should have used "is" instead of "are", ("none" is singular, not plural). Who came up with these questions? They seemed skewed to the left. Quite a few of the questions couldn't be fairly answered with the respon
On the first page you used the word "were" with "none", I believe it should have been "was". A small matter, but this is a major University, and it looks better to use the correct grammar.
Very interesting questions. I enjoyed the survey. Are you doing anything else regarding Twins? Thanks you.
THE QUESTION ON AGE DID NOT HAVE A HIGH ENOUGH NUMBER. I HAD TO ANSWER 50 BUT I AM 56 YEARS OLD.
I took a psychology class in 2003 and found out you really do use the twin information.
This was extremely interesting and thought-provoking. The questioning was very well designed. I'm glad I made it in, under the wire. Good luck, I'd enjoy reading your results, and thank you.
I enjoy doing studies for your twin program. Thank you
My actual age is 56 but your survey does not go that high so I put 50 on that question.
My age is 56 but your survey did not go that high. Improve your program because it did not respond quickly and sometimes I had to wait a long time to get to the next page.
This was interesting. I think my responses might have been a little different if I would have completed this before all the financial problems of our country.
You are welcome to keep the $35 and use it as needed
I strongly believe our nation needs to return to a strict constitutional type of government, and that God will not continue to bless our nation if we don't return to serving Him.
I wish you would have given more choices in your government question.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE RESULTS OF THE SURVEY. PLEASE MAIL VIA US POSTAL SERVICES.
Under age it says it is not required, but unless you answer it, you can not continue. Also, the age didn't go high enough, my age is 57 and it only goes to 50.
I was dissapointed to see all the political qusstions
I am 56 years old (57 in November). The list only went to age 50. Thanks. Dan
If possible I would like to know the results of the survey. Thanks.
I would like a copy of the final results and report.
Some answers were hard to decide, probably be somewhat different if taken again at a later date!!! Age question only went up to 50!! I'm 57!!!! I am an identical twin, but have fraternal twin brothers that are 8 years younger!! So I have 3 twin brothers
Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
age question only went to age 50. I am 56.
some questions didn't give enough options. my age is 57
This was a great survey, I am glad I participated.
I feel many of the questions were leading and left no room for middle of the road responses. This was obviously a very political study more than it is a twin study.
Thank you for doing this over the internet. And thank you for sending out another survey. I love being in the Twin Study!
Please Note that my twin sister and I have always been close;but since she and her family moved to my hometown,we have been inseperable and she is an employee in my small business.Our closeness continues after working hours.
Found this very interesting and I will contact my twin sister fo see if she is doing this. Will try to get her to do this also.
When you have the results of this survey, are you going to publish and send your findings to the participants? I found these questions to be very good. Thank you!
Question 9 in the near to last section asks about age but the drop down menu stops at 50 and i am 58. Should i have counted backward from 50 and recorded 42 i ask with intneded humor??? i recorded, inaccurately, my age as being 50
I'm glad you extended the time period on this, for us very busy people. Thank you.
I would like to have the results of the study e-mailed, to me if possible.
Age: actually 58 - your scale didn't go high enough. marital status: partnered for 24 years - not legal to marry.
my age is 58--it required to put in a number but only went to 50----
In one of the last few questions which asked about full time vs. part time vs not employed - I was surprised that "retired" wasn't an option. That is my status. I guess that is technically "unemployed" - but just thought I would clarify.
I assume you can determine who completed this survey, since you will be matching twin pairs. Thus, it seems you should not be asking people who they will vote for, without giving them the option to say they do not want to share that.
I found the statements that asked for your "very positive to very negative responses (on a scale of 1-7)" to be a bit confusing. Are the participants going to get the researchers results or findings to this survey? If so, I'd like to request them. Than
In the either/or section, those questions were not either/or questions. The answers were very often somewhere in the middle. I don't feel comfortable with most of those answers.
THANK YOU-IT WAS GOOD TO SEARCH MY FEELINGS AND ATTITUDES ABOUT DIFFERENT IDEA THAT ARE PART OF MY DAILY LIFE.
Seemed to be a well done survey. Glad to help .
I found the wording on a few questions confusing. Some punctuation made statements less clear than I would have liked. It's not always easy to answer without trying to re-think any exceptions.
Very interesting survey. I have not heard from the Twin Registry for some time; it is good to hear from you again.
Suggested time needed was misleading -- takes a longer time. I was getting frustrated not knowing how many more questions I needed to answer. Some of the questions definitely made me uncomfortable,(especially those related to finances). I took my b
I enjyed actually thinking about how I feel about personal issues that usually I take for granted, thank you, as a side note my twin is an elementary school counselor and I am a secretary in the department fo psychiatry inour local clinic
I found the section requiring ratings from very positive to very negative to be confusing. Did I feel very positive or very negative about each statement? Maybe I didn't "get it" but primarily I didn't feel as though this format correctly captured what
I found myself wanting to explain my answers. I enjoyed participating. Thank you for the opportunity.
Thank you for including me.It makes me thing of somethings I just sort of take for granted.
I'm not sure what alot of the political questions has to do with twins,, because I am a twin we still have our own opinions and we are separate people. I was happy to answer the questions....
I spoke with a gal on the phone when I had trouble with my computer locking up part way through the survey. She was very helpful and I'm glad I was able to complete the survey. Thank you to her!
Thank-you for the opportunity to be invovled in these surveys.
thankyou for the forth coming $35.00 kay morben
I only got this in the mail on Oct 14, so not a lot of time to respond back to you. You need to allow more time for any further surveys.
Thank you for asking me to complete this Twin Survey.
I have always felt blessed to have a twin sister. I enjoy completing the surveys for the Minnesota Twin Registry and am happy to be participant in the study. Thank you in advance for the $35.00 check.
I'm always pleased to receive and complete surveys from the Minnesota Twin Registry. Thank you.
What's with the max-50 age threshold????
I found these questions interesting. I wonder how my twin answered. I'm sure she will take the survey, too.
I am 59 years old.. but could only choose 50 on drop down menu of choices. It was a fun and interesting survey. Onward Twins!!
I have enjoyed taking this survey. And Have enjoyed all of the past test that I have done with the MN twins survey.
Many questions were ambiguous, as you could have 2 answers for the same question. Every aspect of our government has positives and negatives. To lump many ideas into a single question was difficult to answer. But thank you for the opportunity to do this q
I enjoyed this questionaire because it allows me to reflect on myself both polically and religiously which is something I very rarely share with anyone even my twin who I see and work with every day.
I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO SEE THE RESULTS OF YOUR PROJECT. WILL YOU HAVE A WEB SITE WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND?
A very interesting survey. It made me realize I had more opinions on issues than I thought. Also I am considered the third type of twin(half identical- my mom's egg split before conception-we were in Dr Lykkens study). Thanks for the thought provoking st
My twin sister once said "I don't know why I call you, it's like talking to myself" That's because we agree on everything.
Over-all, survey seemed well written ... however some questions seemed to lead to conclusions that were obvious or not representative of my opinion. However, with only 2 choices, I had option of leaving it blank or selecting one of the 2 ... I always sel
Age scale only went to 50 on my survey and I am 59 years old. Born on 5-25-1949. Interesting survey and attempted to answer all questions as honestly as possible. Thank youu
thank you for this survery and letting me take it> Have a good day.
Thank you for providing this survey. Enjoyed doing it.
Very thorough. Wondering if I will see the results of the survey?
Will you please share the results of this survey with us as I would be interested in your findings.
I'm retired and am 58 yrs old. the questions pertaining to age and employment didn't allow me to give an accurate answer.
Some of the questions were very vague, therefore, I based my response on my thoughts to those questions. I wish there was a way we could make our voices heard in Washington..I don't feel our congressman or representatives take our voice to the top execut
I look forward to learning what this survey gleans.
Some of the questions were hard to answer as they need to have a space so we could put our true feelings.
Sometimes questions are to black and white, and really don't express who a person really is or what they really think on certains matters. Other then that it was alright.
It was interesting. A person doesn't always think about some of the questions that were asked in the survey so you have to think about your responses.
VERY INTERESTED IN THE SURVEY RESULTS- PLEASE SEND WHEN/IF YOU CAN. THANKS.
My Twin sister & I have really enjoyed being in the Twin Study at The University of Minnesota!! :)
Some of my answers would have, undoubtedly, been different if I'd completed this before the economic crisis..interesting concept.
I did not get this survey until late last week. My twin sister requested you send me one. I had moved and mail is no longer forwarded. Thank you for the opportunity. I enjoy these very much and learn much about myself.
These activities are interesting and introspective. I want to participate in as many twin studies as possible! Thanks---
Note: my twin and I are both 59 years old. The oldest I could list on the survey was 50. Thanks.
I am 59 years old - the questionare only went up to 50. Interesting questions - some of them really invited a long answer.
Thank you for inviting me to participate in this survey
The grammar and syntax were poor for a university level survey
Some questions were difficult to answer with the options given. Some were ambiguous, some didn't make sense.
It's hard to go totally one way or the other in answering some of the questions...especially when they are such strong statements.
Very Political!! Not sure I care for that approach.
One of the last questions was how old I am and the list only went to 50 - I am 59 years old.
PLEASE--- NO POLITICAL PHONE CALLS OR MAIL
Very good survey. My age is 59 which I could not select.
I believe that if people had a high moral standard, loved one another, helped one another, lived by standard of kindness, love, with initive and hard work, most all of mankind would be better off. This earth belongs to God, as a gift to man, and should be
I wish that such survey's as this one would give one the option to be listed as a "religious", meaning someone who lives in a Religious Order, being a nun, a priest, a brother or a deacon in the Catholic Church. Thank you.
I have loved being a part of this study over the many years!! I wish I had copied many of the questionnaires, they were very thought provoking, no matter whether you're a twin or not!! Will we be notified of these results?
This survey was 95% centered on political responses than on Twin data....rather suspect.
I'd like to see the results of this study after completion and analysis, to see how twins responded in general. Thank you.
I've always enjoyed the Twins Survey and the follow-up feedback from the survey we get in return. Have also enjoyed the Twin registry t-shirts in the past, have many people ask quetions about the survey. Hope to hear from you in the near future.
Interesting suevey! Will it result in a study publication?
When will the results be published? Will participants be notified?
With the changing market I haave no idea what our 401's are now worth. I just retired 3 months ago
i AND MY TWIN WERE VERY CLOSE UNTIL LAST YEAR WHEN HE DID SOMETHING PUBUILICALY TO END OUR RELATIONSHIP.
THE SURVEY HAD A PART THAT ASKED IF i WAS EITHER WARM OR COOL TO A STATEMENT. THESE STATEMENTS WERE NOT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR ME TO DECIDE.
This survey made me think in depth of my personal feelings about different aspects of life.
Had some trouble getting pages to advance. I needed to go back to prior page and then click to continue several times. If I hadn't had some computer knowledge, I probably would have quit survey as it did not advance. I sat for quite awhile before trying t
Some questions/statements of opinions were difficult to answer as they were loaded or had many ways to think or diverge about the answers. But what if... or what does statement really mean? Did my best to be honest...
Great questions! But on the age question, your scale should have gone higher.
my age is 61 In the age question I answered 50 because that was the highest answer given, but my age is 61.
I would be interested in seeing my twins placement of me on the politcal spectrum. I am 61 years old, but the best or closest number to my age was 50 on the scale provided.
The age question regarding personal information at the end of the survey ranged from 18 to only 50. I am 61, but recorded the maximum in the range, ie 50. Is this an error in the survey or were you only interested in those in the age range?
I am 60 years old and your survey options only go to 50. There is one part that is confusing. It asked whether I agreed or disagreed with certain topics. After that it asked how stongly I felt about my agreement or disagreement. It would be less confusi
Perhaps you should have included 60 in the age choice section.
I liked this survey. Some interesting questions. I hope we get to see some overview of the results. Thanks for including me. p.s. I noticed the maximum age choice was 50. I'm 52..is there a reason for this as a maximum???
I enjoyed this survey and will encourage my twin to complete it also. Please include us in any future ones. Thank you.
Depending on some of the circumstances of the questions,my answers may have been different.
Some questions difficult to answer since there are many shades of gray....
I thank you so much for asking me to be apart of this survey. I enjoyed doing this, and please keep me in mind for other surveys in the future.
MY ANSWERS MIGHT BE TOTALLY DIFFERENT IF I TOOK THE TEST AGAIN!!
Thank You for sending me this survey I enjoyed doing it
Pertaining to the required question on age, the choices only go up to 50. I am 52 so I had to choose the closest answer which was 50.
my age is 53(was not an option)and my twin brother died in 2007
Gets a little to personal, you would probably get a better response if it was less invasive. I would guess you may get many who will not complete the survey once they start it.
Under the age category: the survey only went up to 50, so I chose that option since the question required a response, however I am actually 53. Some of the questions were difficult to answer without being able to discuss.
i DON'T KNOW IF IT MATTERS TO YOUR RESEARCH, BUT WE ARE 54.
Curious survey? Very political, how is it used?
A lot of this is political, not something I think has much to do with a twin study.
I can't help but think that this is polically based. I almost didn't complete because I felt uneasy with the questions having very little to do with being a twin. What are your motives for this questionaire? I want this information for the twin study o
thank you--I hope my responses are helpful!
I think this was a cheap way to do a political survey saying it was for twins research Next time leave my name of the list
I am 55, but the list stopped at 50. I would like to see the results of this as it seamed to have a liberal slant to it.
Because my sister died, I anwered the questions on communication with the least frequent choice. However, we communicated at least weekly, usually by phone, until her death in 2002. I very much appreciate the ability to participate in the research and
dear ms. Lucy, Would you please donate the $35.00 participation check back to your department? You all are doing a great job.... Thanks so much,
found the questions very interesting to think about. is it possible to get comparasion results w/my twin--also the reasoning behind the questions asked and way worded?
My brother passed away in 2004 He has been missed.. Thank you for the opportunity to take part in these surveys. ed
I don't see my twin anymore because he died 2 years ago.
On the question concerning age, the scale only went upto 50. I am over 50.
I think values are important - not necessarily traditional values.
Will we receive any results of the survey?
IT WAS HARD TO BE BLACK AND WHITE SOMETIMES, I NEVER MIND DOING THE SURVEYS, IS THERE AWAY TO SEE THE RESULTS?
Glad to be a part of this. Hello to all the twins out there!
Thank you for valueing my opinion! I have a GREAT twin!
Please let me know the end use of this survey. Thank you
PLEASE DO NOT SHARE FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO OTHER PARTIES...THERE SHOULD BE A NOTICE OF PRIVACY. PLEASE SEND TO ME IN THE MAIL. THANKS.
I was concerned about some of the questions about the society.
The question on Stem cell research is too general. There are two types. Embryonic (a child is killed) is wrong and has produced NO cures. Adult & embilical cord research has produced 100 PLUS CURES. If your do not differentiate the two types, the questi
My twin brother died in November of 2006.
Two of the categories in the early part of the survey are confusing--the ones regarding whether I felt strongly about a subject after I'd answered whether I disagreed or agreed. Will
i FOUND IT INTERESTING AND THOUGHT PROVOKING
My twin sister has passed away in May Of 2002.
Certain questions were worded in a way that made them very difficult to understand in the section about good and evil. I found all those questions very confusing. My twin died in 2005 but I filled in the questions about how often we talked and saw each
I never did a survey like this before, it was interesting!
your age question only goes to age 50....I am 60 years old. The survey was fun to take..Have a nice day
How is this survey going to be used? Will I get any feedback? My email address is: terrydort@yahoo.com Thanks- Dorothy Trom-1524 Birmingham St - St Paul MN 55106-1410
did not realize the questions were about goverment. not comnplaing. my twin and I since we have been getting older have had very many same happenings in life. thanks you for thinking of us once again.
Always a pleasure, especially for Money.
Great questions - I hope to see a recap of the findings.
Many of the questions were so awkwardly worded that I found them difficult to answer.
Some of the questions were two part, with one being yes and the other no. Had to weigh which was more important. I strongly believe that the moral structure that made our country successful is in jeopardy. In no way did I want to imply that I was in fa
My twin has been well settled in the Minneapolis area. I have spent the previous 10 yrs living and working overseas= Venezuela, Ecuador, Afghanistan. I believe due to my different cultural exposure from that of my twin, my responses to this questionnare a
Enjoy the continued contract from the Twin Study and also the option to do hard copy survey. We choose to not have a computer at home and it would not be appropriate at my limited access computer at work.
Survey was interesting. I thought it had too many Politic's questions
Miss Megan Lucy, I hope this survey helps you in your quest for answers about twins. Thank you.
Thank you for letting me be apart of your survey.
The statements that I had to rate my reaction from very negative 1-7 very positive some of them were worded very poorly. I would feel negatively about crime but not sexual immortality (the state should enforce the law, but should not be legislating morali
You can sure tell this survey was written by a liberal art department!
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of the twins study. I am employed in a position where I am prohibited from participating in any political/partisan activity or opinion. Since this is a survey about political views and opinions, I must decline fr
Being in the business and career of testing people all over the US. I feel your questions and order of the "distracters" are in need of professional improvements. If you rearrange the order you can sway opinion of the "candidate." At that point you are pr
p.11-D I think attention should be paid to Bible teaching. I'm not sure if you understood my opinion on that one-I was a little confused. Sorry about that!
Very interesting survey. Election results compared to your survey respondents would be interesting to know about if at all possible. Be sure to do this survey in 2012 - I suspect you'll see dramatic changes in responses. Thanks.
Thank you for sending me the survey! It was very interesting and would like to be involved in more studies about twins or other issues.
HOPEFULLY MY ANSWERS WILL HELP IN THE PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY.
It is great to be a part of these studies. My twin and I are miles apart in most everything. We don't talk much. It is sad for me to not have a good relationship with her but I have little time for her extreme negativity. There are two sets of twins in m
