I've got to try again...the energy-worker responses are SO low in numbers, they are going to hurt the study. The EC is apparently scared of the word 'vampire', and don't realize that the information out of these surveys that applies specifically to non-vampires is going to benefit the psychic community tremendously as well. PLEASE...if you have not taken these surveys, take the time to fill them out--yes, they are very very long, but this is an opportunity that doesn't come by often. Don't be intimidated by the length, it goes by faster than you think once you get started. I filled out and sent in both surveys months ago. Help the energy community and do the same!

-------------------------

From Merticus:
Vampirism & Energy Work Research Study - Official Update &
Clarification
www.vampiresurvey.com - VEWRS & AVEWRS

Yes, we are still accepting research survey submissions!
In fact, we are less than 5 surveys away from 400!
Please notify everyone you know in the vampire & energy worker
community
& encourage them to complete these surveys ASAP!


Please note that shortly after April 30, 2007 all administrative,
technical, and research oriented questions will be handled directly
through: research @ suscitatio.com. The vampiresurvey.com site will
remain as a mirrored archive along with all related e-mails from that
domain auto-directed to this primary research site hub and address.

In the event anyone was wondering where the AVEWRS preliminary charts
for the next batch of sample questions are, we fell behind toward the
end of March after receiving a surge of survey responses at the last
moment. Since the February 20th release of the preliminary charts for
the VEWRS there has been a 15% increase in overall response; a margin
large enough to require us to completely redo and update all the charts
for the VEWRS as well as finish the ones for the AVEWRS. We hope to
have
this finished within the next couple of weeks and everyone can expect a
rather large data dump this next time around as we also will show
branches in responses from VC vs EC vs Other to aide in distinguishing
which community is reporting what.

There has been some ambiguity in the meaning of deadline with the VEWRS
& AVEWRS. The official one-year duration deadline of the study occurred
on March 31, 2007. However, while we are engaged for the next few
months
in data entry and correlations we see no reason why we can't continue
to
accept surveys that come in via e-mail. We've received over 70 printed
surveys that we will begin data entry on before the digital copies - if
you received a mailed/printed copy and haven't mailed it back to us
consider this a final reminder. For the rest of you and to clarify this
completely... we are still accepting surveys through the end of this
month and perhaps longer, so as soon as you can find the time to
complete the surveys please e-mail them to us in the order you finish
them (VEWRS first, then AVEWRS when you get around to finishing, etc.).
Surveys should be completed by EVERYONE who identify themselves as
sanguine, psi, modern/living/elemental/sexual/etc. vampires, energy
workers, psions, and generally awakened or aware individuals across the
spectrum.

So to recap since many like short posts...

1.) We’ll be re-releasing updated and revised VEWRS preliminary
charts + AVEWRS charts within the next couple weeks. This is to give
everyone the most up to date information before we begin the long
process of complete data entry on all 379 and 609 questions
respectively. We apologize for delay as we are buried in more data than
we expected to have received.

2.) YES, we are still accepting surveys and encourage EVERYONE
regardless of preferred feeding method, background, knowledge, tenure,
location, etc. to participate so as long as they identify with
vampirism
and/or general energy work. So please STOP procrastinating or fearing
the length of the surveys - they honestly go by quickly once you start
answering and will aid our Community in both the immediate and long
term
more than you may realize.

Do you have to be a Vampire to do this? Or just somebody who works with energy?

It's for those that identify themselves as energy workers or vampires. You don't have to be a vampire to participate. I can say that if you aren't a vampire then the survey will be somewhat shorter for you. razz


I did both of them a few months ago. I can't wait to see some data besides pie charts of general information.

Thanks ^_^, I've been working with energy for a long time now, so I might as well take it.


EDIT: heh...XD....I have to get word first >.>....=P

EDIT2: How do I mark what I want to select? XD....*noob* and are we SURE I don't have to be a vampire for this? lol.

Just open it in OpenOffice or Word, and put an X in the box you want to select.

Each question should have an option for you if you are not a vampire! The vampire-only questions will have the option "Not Applicable", so you can answer every question. They desperately need more non-vampire survey responders.

Both surveys need to be sent back--be sure to keep note of the number on the VEWRS, you'll need it for the AVEWRS. The AVEWRS has a ton of questions relevent to energy-workers who aren't vamps, but both surveys have to be done so they have maximum data for comparison on everything. This is a very professionally-done survey.

Energy Workers & Psions Please Note: All matters regarding the VEWRS & AVEWRS are now located at the web site above. If you have not looked into this study lately or dismissed it at first, you will want to visit this site and catch up – we are seeking responses from energy workers, psions, magick practitioners, mages, and those who generally consider themselves awakened (vampirism is only one component of these studies – all other energy work matters stand on their own and will be treated as such in the analysis). Please update all bookmarks and if you have not already done so please finish these surveys ASAP and submit them to: response@suscitatio.com

Thank you for taking the time to complete these important surveys and helping create a body of empirical data and knowledge for the energy worker / psion community!

It's too bad they couldn't have set up an online form >.<....my alternative to MS word screwed up the format of the survey and I couldn't fill it out right.

They shouldn't have assumed that every vampire/energy worker has Microsoft word XD

We sincerely would appreciate all energy workers, psions, etc. to participate in this important study! Thanks to everyone for taking the time to complete these surveys! Don't worry about meeting any of the old post deadlines as we have extended this survey to accomodate those in the energy worker community but we do need your responses ASAP!

Thank you! The more responses from the energy worker community we receive the easier it will be for us to cross-compare and build a body of empirical data. Everyone please try to finish and submit your surveys as soon as possible - you may send back in the order you finish them (ie: VEWRS then AVEWRS when complete).
PostPosted: Wed May 02, 2007 6:04 pm


I stayed up quite late on April 30th to send mine in thinking that was the last day! *slow sleepy blinks* But I'm very glad that there is still time for anyone else to take it. Matter of fact, I just thought of someone that I'm not sure if they have completed theirs.

I didn't peek at the prelim tallies until I finished, I can't wait to see it when its complete.

Vampirism & Energy Work Research Study
Major June/July 2007 Statistical Update

http://www.suscitatio.com

The charts/graphs located at the website above represent a detailed examination of the raw data compiled from 487 responses to the VEWRS received from March 22, 2006 through June 23, 2007 and 245 responses to the AVEWRS received from August 1, 2006 through June 23, 2007 – collectively covering questions 001, 004, 006, 008, 030, 037, 137, 155, 172, 236, 246, 262, 285, 383/384, 392, 398, 413, 479, 549, 557, 573, 669, 794, 827, 831, 844, & 946. Let us stress that this data does NOT represent any correlations with other questions found in this study that will be completed later this year; ie: Respondent #271 answered X on question 042, Y on question 394, chose option Z on question 643 on the AVEWRS; which is unique because it shows a pattern relating to question 488, etc. Hence, drawing anything other than superficial conclusions regarding the representations of the sample received would be ill advised at this time. This secondary release of information is to give everyone in the Community a sense of the scope and importance of their individual participation and to expand on the initial release from February 20, 2007, NOT to offer analysis or interpretation of these graphs having not completed the entire research process – this will occur once we have completely entered all 330,000+ individual data points collected into SPSS (we have completed 3.85% of this task as of June 23, 2007).

If you or others you know have yet to complete either or both of the VEWRS/AVEWRS you may still do so, however, we are not actively advertising such since once we've completed entering the data into SPSS we will not be adding additional surveys. Complete any outstanding surveys as soon as possible!
