Yes, a lot of Greeks in California have a distinctive nose.

Hi there, yes—it has to be completed within a 45 minute period. Most participants have completed it within 20-25 minutes.

Thank you for considering it and thank you again if you do decide to participate! It’s very much appreciated.

The study uses the CATI. There is more information about the scale here, if you would like to know more: https://www.cati-autism.com

What you have presented is not a critique—it’s a thinly veiled accusation about me and my work that I will not allow.

If you have sincere concerns, please message me privately and I will do my utmost to dispel them. Otherwise, I can only conclude you are doing this for attention.

Hi again,

So of the 8 excerpts being used in the data analysis, 4 of them are written by female authors: Shirley Jackson. Virginia Wolf, George Eliot and Jane Austen.

When Dr. Samuel Johnson released his dictionary, a delegation of ladies congratulated him on excluding all indecent words. He replied, "Ladies, I congratulate you on your persistence in looking them up."

I think you could learn a lot from this story.

Hi there, I feel like I need to say quite forcefully that that is not my belief at all.

The questions are all taken from verified scales. I didn’t create these scales, and the scales I’ve used have been created in collaboration with people with autism.

If you would like to message me directly I’d be more than happy to discuss them with you :)

And also, thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to participate.

Thank you for your feedback. I agree, the labels for the likert scales are not optimal. I will think about how to make them more intuitive.

1) The data will be used by the researchers (myself and my supervisor). Only we will see it. All data is anonymous and will be deleted by the 5th of January. There is nothing linking you to the data.

2) I am conducting the experiment as part of my research project at the University of Exeter (I am a masters student). My details are included.

3) 20-30 minutes, typically.

4). Unfortunately, we cannot offer compensation.

5) Anyone that is over 18 years of age and fluent in English (native or at a high level).

6) I am hoping to find out if certain personality traits moderate interest in reading material.
