CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Greetings All! The researchfag anons from WWP and elsewhere, are proud to announce an exciting new data collection & analysis project for the polling pleasure of all former CofS members et al. Church of Scientology Exit Survey The CoS Exit Survey Project is dedicated to the creation of a simple 20-question polling instrument for those who have left the control of the Church of Scientology, and publication of survey results online for further value-added statistical analysis and commentary. This online survey has been crafted to respect the real-life experience and current beliefs for both those who continue Scientology practice in some form and those who do not. It has also been designed to maximize its usefulness to a broad range of communities and interests including opinion and decision makers in the major institutions of society. For more details on this effort including full disclosure of survey content, our mission statement, and the tabulated results that will be published on an ongoing basis for all to ponder on, please read the wiki page that serves as a central square for this project at: CofS Exit Survey - Why We Protest Wiki NOTE: The survey is designed for Ex-Scientologists, Independent Scientologists, and those unwittingly exposed to Scientology doctrines as clients, employees, or students of front group organizations. Anons and others with no direct CofS training or processing experience need not apply... check out the "Online Survey" dox on the wiki page noted above to view the text or screen capture version of the live questionnaire. And please help us spread this to all the sibling forums as well as forwarding this post to your friends, family, colleagues & favorite bloggers or other contacts who are amongst those that are disaffected with or disconnected from their personal CofS experience. We also apologize in advance for imposing yet another questionnaire on you - but there has been a great deal of care & attention put into this survey to reap some value-added info for use with harpooning the cult in the days ahead. plus its nothing like a CofS survey and the tabulated results will be very easy on the eye to look at Special thanks to all the former members of organized scientology & the many other collaborators who helped us put this together - cheers to you mates, it oughta be interesting to watch the results come in!

Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Can you post the long links instead of tinyurl ones? I don't/won't click through tinyurl.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! you bet... Live Survey: Free Survey from SurveyPirate Wiki Page: CofS Exit Survey - Why We Protest Wiki
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Is the results page available? (saw that it was to be posted, maybe I overlooked the link?)
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! so far i got 7 results, but also a few complaints over browser oddities on ESMB with FF3.5 only any exes with alternate browsers can confirm/deny surveypirate issues? its worked fine in testing with FF3.0 the results are behind login & i will be posting tabulated dumps to the wiki page as soon as we get a nice size chunk (in a day or so) and then weekly updates thereafter -- unless traffic is signif enough to pimp fresh results more often than that early on.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! sorry, so late to the party. What about all those people that got suckered in by a stress/intelligence test? And then they left after the test, is there a field for those, 'cause I imagine they are a big statistic.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! One of the original FF3.5 complaints said it worked fine a lil while later after close/re-open... so was maybe just initial traffic spike glitch. i haz question for wiki people - why i cant upload file pdf's? i needs too - i can download full survey results in pdf report that i wants to archive & then embed a few highlight charts of the juiciest stuff as graphics on the page.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! now posted on Exkids: Ex Scientology Kids :: View topic - CofS Exit Survey - Please Participate! can i haz an assist to get it on ocmb? we got 13 results and counting.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Here's a peak at what the basic reporting output looks like with 19 responses Church of Scientology Survey Results there is also an advanced reporting option where i can cross tabulate two different questions together to get comparison charts like this: Picasa Web Albums - AnonLover moar of this cool stuff when we get 50+ responses
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! This could be AIDS-ridden, but... perhaps a way to tabulate the subset of responses which can be linked to specific, known exes? If there is any such link, that is. Reason: [strike]defeating[/strike] bypassing any OSA fucktardery which may enter the info-bloodstream past the teeth of your incredibly tight security and obtaining a meaningful output data set, albeit a smaller one.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Is there any way you can publish raw data in, say, CSV so everyone who wants can make his own analysis in a spreadsheetprogram like OO or M$ Excel?
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! I love the Dianetics ad that comes up next to the first link. It looks like shit. Granted all their ads look like shit, but this one looks like more shit.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! respondents are anonymous & there is no personally identifying info to protect their privacy. yep - csv option is also available and i was figuring on archiving both forms output for public access on the wiki pages once we get enough responses to make it worth analyzing. status update: 33 responses so far and counting. and the early grumbles about FF3.5 being glitchy have seemed to pass plus surveypirate tech support checked it over and claims all is well.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Here's the first batch of survey results with 50 respondents tabulated: CofS Exit Survey Result - Basic Reports CofS Exit Survey Results - Advanced Reports The wiki page spot for indexing these reports still needs to be assembly and should hopefully be in place by tmo *if* we can get the "upload file" problem fixed.. but i wanted to get the main forms of output floated awhile for folks to gander at if their interested. to all th exes in our ranks -- please keep the responses coming in, and another round of thanks going out to everyone who participated!
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! This is brilliant work. Thank you to all concerned who worked on getting this ready. <3
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! So, out of curiosity, how are you validating that respondents are actually exes?
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! ^that otherwise what you've got is pretty and a good beginning but your results aren't going to mean much. the OSA paranoia is a bit over-the-top, too -- if anyone can take this, it's far more likely trolls and those curious to see what the survey contains will take it and skew your data.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Will these survey results help determine what kind of charity we'll be setting up? Or, is this a project for someone's 9th grade "Probability and Statistics" semester final?* *If so, the probability of remedial summer school is quite high>
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! and how in the hell am i supposed to do that with anonymous polling? geesh that said - look at the questionaire document... there is so much stinking bridge slicing & dicing on the matrix questions (which surveypirate ignores the optional question setting, forces everyone to walk da plank and hit ALL those answers) slim to none chance someone other than ex who understands dat shi- inside & out bacwards forwards what have ya, is gonna sit thru that much crap just to complete a survey from us anons.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! nao with download bundle that includes csv file if any db admin types want sauce file awhile. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NK4I7CW9
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! bump... there is a confirmed browser glitch with IE7 on the survey, the initial page is slightly jacked in IE7 only and may appear to blank if u dont notice the need to scrollbar over to the right to see the survey intro page. SurveyPirate tech support is looking into it, meanwhile for any of the exes that linger here with older browsers - if'n you thought it didnt work -- plox try again! Use FF or scroll over to the right in IE to begin, once past the initial page the browser oddity goes away. We're up to 78 responses & counting! when we hits a 100, i'll snap fresh reporting for all to gander.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! This morning I downloaded the CSV-file and the preliminary results. The CSV was not wat I expected it to be. I hoped it would have the raw data, e.g. a zillion rows and columns with the individual results - anonymous of course. Then it would be possible to make my own analysis of the data. However, it was more like a text version of the preliminary results. Any chance you could get the data in the file as I would like to have them? Or does the site hosting the survey only offer that as an extra (paid) service? (If they offer it at all.)
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! With the detail of the questions this might not be a good idea. Maybe CO$ could pinpoint the people who did the survey be analyzing the raw data..?
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! so your rationale is that no one will fuck up your results because that would be confusing and/or boring? enjoy your meaningless data, not sure what you hope to learn but you can't really rely on it to mean anything, since you have no way of ascertaining whether any one set of results comes from an actual ex.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! There is an open issue on the SurveyPirate helpdesk for same request, and i gather the current/meager csv option was recently added KISS dump that supposed to be improved in a later version. and despite being a freebie service - da pirates running it seem to knock off new feature additions at slow but steady clip. so imo - theres a good chance we might have better sauce data at a later date.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! This is yet another great example of chanology becoming an insular playground. It's truly become a place where people are less concerned with critique and more enamored with self-congralation. Case in point, this entire thread is a circle jerk congratulating people over unverified data. When it's pointed out that the results are meaningless without verification the response is "meh I made science". I mean surely no one could take your internet poll and and fuck up the results (OSAOSAOSA!!!!!!!!!!!). You can go "well how can I do that/we're so great", but the fact remains that you'd need a physical poll to have anything of merit here. All you have now is heaps of unverified data that is about as useful, ultimately, as you going outside and counting the number of rocks on a gravel driveway. tl;dr Just because you made poll doesn't instantly mean that it churns out accurate or reliable results.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Not likely to happen. C of S has far more urgent fires to put out world wide. They don't care who did the survey.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! Exactly. They could mess with it, but why bother, at this point? If something specific starts to come of this, that's when I'd start worrying. For now, the data are probably accurate.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! meh... 1.5 pages of thread, half of which is me getting the details laid down - does not go far in jerking me off considering the extreme capacity for gazillion mile long fap fests around here. but if your willing to come sit on my lap and have flathead for my beer - that might suffice. we did not set out to make 'science', just gather some intresting factoids that may or may not prove useful for a) future cannon fodder lube for bigger issues. and b) insights into possible trends for angles we might be over emphasizing or no emphasizing enuff. slective polling or "straw picking" survey factoids can be fun. who care if its not purely scientific if the results end up be something thats at least semi informative. eg: Survey EP Also - doing something different that involves collaborating cross camps was a nice change and also fun, evolution of our tactics keeps things fresh. 82 responses and counting. bump for moar exscilon poll takers! & another round of thanks to all those who took the time to participate and/or halp spread this.
Re: CofS Exit Survey is now Live! suggestion first question - you need another option where you lose " who attested to the organization's status as a religion" this: "Yes, I received Scientology auditing, training, or related services as a public, staff or Sea Org member. "
