I'd be happy to, so long as I don't feel uncomfortable with the questions. I mean, you're not getting my SSN and my bank account numbers. Oh, and I'm 33, married, with 4 kids.

How are the "age groups" broken down, that you have to cover? Like 18-25, 26-35, 35+? I would jump in here, but maybe you already have enough volunteers from my age group.

Its not very personal questions, age groups and names are as personal as I go...
According to my teacher, I have to ask 5 questions about economics to random people and see if they know what it is.

1.) Whats an entrepeneur? 2.)What is GDP (Gross Domestic Product)? 3.)What is the current rate of inflation in the U.S.? 4.)What is a tariff? 5.)What does IRS stand for? What do they do?
Age groups are as follows: 13-18 19-30 31-50 51+ please answer honestly as I want this to be as accurate as possible.

Hm. Given this site, I don't think we can be considered "random." Anyone on Hatrack could answer any of those questions, I'd imagine.

I would be willing to take the survey, but I wouldn't feel comfortable giving my last name. Regardless of how great this website is, there is no way to know for certain that the person you think you're sending to is actually who you think he/she is. If I could submit a response without giving you my full name, I'd be happy to help out. If not, I'm sure you'll have more than enough willing participants here as it is.

OK, I attempted it. I was unsure of a couple, but that should help give your survey some credibility, considering where you're asking people.

Not really, I could scan you a copy of the paper if you wanted me to. Although I don't necessarily feel the need to prove this is my assignment, you participate of your own free will...

This is not a very scientific way of running a study. Even taken into account the fact that Hatrackers are not random people, posting the questions prior to getting a commitment to participate will bias the result in that those who feel they know the answers will be more likely to respond.
