Birth month and A-level results?

Hey guys!!#

Im doing a correlation study on the effects that birth month can have on intelligence. I'd really appreciate if you could state your month of birth followed by your A-Level results

i.e. November. AAB

You can state your subject choice too if you prefer. I'd reallly appreciate it!!!

P.S. your identity will be kept fully confidential .. I will only be using the data you submit, not your username or such. I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Can I suggest that you set something up on survey monkey? At the moment you're asking people to post fairly personal info on a public forum whilst saying that it will be confidential :erm:

my thought exactly
I also recommend asking around lots - you want a decent, representative sample, and TSR is not going to provide that.

Sorry, I mean the data on my correlation will be confidental (I.e. you will be given a number not by your TSR name) you can also tick the annonymous box. I realise there are a lot of research flaws but its one of the other aims of this method. Thank you for the survey reccomendation but I have one set up, ill put up a link soon :smile:

My mum always goes on about this. I'm born in August but some of my class mates had birthdays 2 or 3 weeks later and were essentially a year older than me when we started each school year.

August - ABC
July
AS results of AAAC

Good luck with your study.
You may get some skewed results, as people are more likely to post if their results are good. That may not matter, as it's the distribution of birth months that you're interested in, but it's just something to consider.

It's a name - I can spell it how I like. :tongue:

But yes, it was a mistake.
