Half OT: Some of us not interested in surveys...

...including me. I have almost never taken part in any polls or surveys at GC, as my old friends know.

Some of us like polls, some don't. Maybe the reason is here?

A new study from North Carolina State University shows that genetics play a key factor in whether someone is willing to take a survey.

"We wanted to know whether people are genetically predisposed to ignore requests for survey participation,” says Dr. Lori Foster Thompson, an associate professor of psychology at NC State and lead author of a paper describing the research. “We found that there is a pretty strong genetic predisposition to not reply to surveys."
