Thank you for volunteering to participate in the microsurveys associated with the Furry Survey hosted at klisoura.com!

Your participation allows me to conduct additional research without having to make changes to the full survey. In this case, the questionnaire below is intended as a basic psychographic battery. We can use this information to segment the fandom based on clusters of shared values and behaviors. I'm trying to get a general sense of which questions are important and which are highly skewed in the fandom. Please answer every question, as truthfully and accurately as possible. Note that your answers are completely anonymous.


Basic Questions
You may have already answered these on the Furry Survey. I have to ask again because both surveys are anonymous, so I can't automatically recover this information — sorry for the redundancy! Please note that when I ask about "gender," I am referring to this as distinct from your biological sex, although in most cases the answers will be the same. If you choose "other," please feel free to clarify in the comments section at the end of the survey.
Birth year:
Gender:
Survey
For each statement in the left-hand column, choose the bullet point that most closely represents your personal opinion as to how that statement describes you. Please answer all questions. For questions where you have no strong opinion, please indicate the direction of your weak preference.
