Got 5 minutes to help me with a dev-career-related project? I think you'll actually enjoy this.

I'm working on an assignment -- not about programming directly -- where I thought I could collect some data useful to the community. At least in a "How about that!" way.

In short: I've been asked to review five applications that help put together online surveys. And while I could ask dumb questions like, "What is your favorite flavor of chocolate?" I think it'd be more fun to find out what job attributes -- beyond tech considerations -- developers feel are most important. This isn't scientific, and I can't use it for "real data," but wouldn't it be nice to know whether this group of people cares more about telecommuting options than flexible work hours?

The results are, obviously, completely anonymous. I'm just trying to get enough data for my screen shots to have pretty charts. But I'm happy to share the results with anyone who participates. (That lets me check out the software's reporting features, too.)

So if you're willing to help me... follow this link?

FWIW I aim to finish the article by the end of the week, so if you could do this in the next few days it'd be dandy.

I filled it out. It's a good list of questions. Can you share the results here in addition to email?

I too filled it out. Actually got me properly thinking about what I look for in a job. For a 5 minute diversion, it was fun.

As Jeanne says, it would be cool to see the results analysis here.

It was fun taking the survey.
Few questions are eligible for psychometric analysis.
