We use this information to appropriately pair participants with fitting research opportunities.  Research studies help publishers understand how products work with different populations of individuals.  The studies are inclusive of all demographic types.  Sometimes, specific groups of individuals are requested to make sure that the pool of research participants is reflective of the total populations.

Yes.

Most research opportunities are considered blind studies which means that the researchers often identify participants using a unique number and never even know personally identifiable information, like a name.  We have to know your information in order to pair you appropriately, but we do not share or sell it to others or 3rd parties.  

While it can take up to 6 weeks from the completed assessment, many payments are received within 7 days.  Some payments are received immediately upon completion of assessment.  Your confirmation email will provide specific information regarding payment timeframe.

Payment amount varies by publisher and assessment type.  It can range from $25 (usually for questionnaires) to $100+ (usually for longer, in-person assessments).

There is no limit to the number of opportunities for which you can register.  Your participation in some research opportunities may make you ineligible for others.  We'll make sure that you're only paired with research opportunities for which you're eligible.

That depends on the type of the assessment being completed and the pace at which the participants completes tasks.  Your confirmation will give you the best estimate of time needed for an assessment/appointment.  Longer assessments are sometimes broken up into shorter appointment times, especially for children younger than 8 years old.

In some cases, yes.

Most of our research opportunities must be completed in-person.  There are occasional virtual opportunities, though.  Check out our Online/Virtual Opportunities page!

Every appointment is different, so what's needed may be different.  Your confirmation email let you know exactly what's needed for your appointment.  In most cases, you will need the following:

• A quiet, uninterrupted room for the examinee

• The ability to connect using Google Meet

• A computer screen large enough to read printed text without enlargement

• Headphones or earbuds

• Corrective lenses, if prescribed

Anyone can sign up to participate.  We research across all demographic areas.  Anyone under 18 years old will need parental consent.

Candidates from diverse ethnic backgrounds and lower education levels are more likely to be selected for testing
