Surveys: Colleges that reward online

Colleges and universities often use the internet as a way to find participants for important surveys, such as to garner information that will be used for PhD theses. It is very important, therefore, that you do not discuss the contents of these surveys anywhere else on the internet, as you may corrupt the data. These types of sites generally require only a quick registration (and perhaps a short online prescreen) and are very reliable and secure. You'll notice a common format used in the majority of these sites; it is perhaps a good idea to use the same username and password on all sites of this type so that you do not confuse yourself.
