Some of you did a card sort for me a couple of months back. The results hav= e been used in an article that is currently with the editor, so hopefully i= t will be available early next year. In the meantime, I have another project on the same lines (fruit and vegeta= bles) but it's a little bit longer. It should still only take between 10 an= d 15 minutes. Also, for reasons I cannot go into just yet, there are some v= ery specific instructions (these are repeated on the web site): 1. If you were born in an ODD year, create a group called Green Veget= ables. DO NOT create a group called Salad Vegetables or similar. Then follo= w the remaining instructions starting at 3, below. 2. If you were born in an EVEN year, create a group called Salad Vege= tables. DO NOT create a group called Green Vegetables or similar. Then foll= ow the remaining instructions starting at 3, below. 3. All groups (from steps 1 or 2 above and the others you are free to= create) should have between 2 and 6 items. 4. No groups should be given Latin names - so avoid brassicas, allium= s and so on. 5. No groups should be personal - so no 'I don't like these', 'I grow= these at home', 'Yuck' (this is a real group name from a previous study!) I will choose an email address at random from the results, so make sure you= r email address is correct. It will not be used for any other purpose. If y= our address is drawn and you have followed the instructions above you have = won the draw. I will contact you to see what country you would like your gi= ft voucher for. The URL for the card sort project is http://bit.ly/vMQkwW It will be open until Friday 16 December.
