General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Re: Online Dog Personality Questionnaire

Thanks to all of you who've filled out the questionnaire! 
It's also nice to see that it's started a bit of discussion.  (And, of course, I like to see pictures of the dogs who have been rated.)

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Online Dog Personality Questionnaire
« on: May 01, 2007, 08:07:44 am »
The Animal Personality Institute (API) at the University of Texas is currently conducting a new study to develop the Dog Personality Questionnaire (DPQ), a questionnaire-based tool for assessing personality in dogs. http://survey.psy.utexas.edu/API/dpq.php

We need at least 1,800 dog owners to complete the DPQ so that we can improve and further develop it. We appreciate each and every dog owner who takes the time to complete the questionnaire. It is currently available online and takes about 20 minutes to complete. When dog owners fill out the online DPQ, they will immediately receive information about how their dog has scored on each of the personality traits assessed in the DPQ, and they will be entered into a drawing for a free gift certificate as a token of our appreciation. 

One particular goal is to recruite a wide variety of dogs -- all breeds, all ages, and all sizes! 

If you would like rate your dog on the DPQ or to learn more about this new questionnaire, please visit the DPQ homepage (http://survey.psy.utexas.edu/API/dpq.php) where you can find links to the DPQ Information page and the DPQ Updates page. To learn more about the Animal Personality Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, go to www.animalpers onality.org.

If you know any other dog owners who might be interested in filling out the DPQ, please forward this message on to them. 

Thank you!
