A questionnaire of sorts, please help! (Thanks Robbo)

[Bunker_the_wolf]

AS you may of saw this was posted yesterday as well, but Robbo gave me an all clear and let me post this again, thanks Robbo!.

This is all part of a work expierience project that I'm working on and I was allowed to create my own project and being an avid player i decided to create a questionnaire that would help me to segment the players as to who they are, what area of the market do they work in and other headings.

This is for my own personal research and the results for this will be posted on friday (if i finish it early on in the day) or saturday (as Friday is a very packed day when finished) once analysis is completed, the day posted depends on how much time i have. Robbo, i shall keep in contact with you as to say when the results will be posted and to keep my promise.

Robbo, your a great guy and I cannot thank you enough for this!.

Okay below is the questionnaire, if your from the US or Europe change the "£" to a "$" or the Euro sign/E for the sake of convience and not to throw out the results.

Thanks in advance to all who fills this out.
