So I went to the link and saw the title. :flushed: Not sure if I should continue since in college I was deemed unable to learn a language and excused from having to take a 2nd language to graduate. I did so bad my 1st semester, they immediately sent me to get tested! :rofl: I don’t want to skew your results. Should I skip it? :grimacing:

I swear I can learn new things…just not languages! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

At the end of the survey their is a line that says it’s open to all students. I’m not a student. Will that mess up your results?

I grew up in Commerce, my dad taught at ETSU. You have my deepest sympathy for every minute you’ve spent in that town.

No issues. With COVID-19 we moved open to all and online. It was set up as an in-person laboratory research. I appreciate the feedback. In our scramble to change everything, and with lag times- since everyone was hibernating , I did not catch all the little details. I am making notes for our next study.

Ummmm. I’m not sure how to answer that. :slight_smile: Everyone is welcome to take it. That said, our main data point is language learning. Your call. I plan to share my result screens at the end of the month when I have them so you can still see what the study is about.

You did give me a laugh, which is sorely needed. LOL

LOL. I’m in the research phase and since COVID-19 I am teaching online. I kind of miss the sleepy town. :slight_smile:

I’m glad I could make you laugh. I still laugh about it too! :joy: Obviously I learned a language because I speak English. :roll_eyes: I will probably do it anyways because I love taking surveys and tests like this. I can’t promise that I won’t produce an outlier score for you though. :nerd_face:

Incorrectly discarding outliers can be a big mistake, and has cost some companies millions of dollars. You really need to understand how those outliers do, or do not fit what you are studying before you toss them.
