Survey

Good website that will let me create and view the responses to a survey easily: https://www.surveymonkey.com
If I am unable to receive enough results from sharing with friends and people on the internet the website offers the ability to pay for people to fill out the survey. Will be a good fall back if I need more results.
Update: I just found out that unless I upgrade to pro the maximum amount of questions on a survey is 10. Not the most helpful thing but I might be able to make do or if need be upgrade to pro for as long as I need the survey.

I have made a start on a few questions for the survey and played around with what question types are available. Some of the questions are perfect and should give me easy to read results, however there are a couple that I'm not sure about. One of the questions is a set of statements where the person filling out the survey would need to say whether they agree or disagree. The problem I have with this one, however is that the statements could be seen as biased. The survey-taker might be more inclined to agree with the statement if they are not sure of their position on the matter and this would have negative effects on the accuracy of the results. The website offers an option where a certain percentage of the page-viewers will receive on question, while the rest receive a different one. If I could use this in a 50/50 it would hopefully negate the effects of any potentially biased statements, however so far I seem to only be able to change the question itself using this, not the statements themselves.
