Test challenges NeXT users

Are NeXT users really an intellectual breed apart? It's anyone's guess, but at least two researchers think NeXT users are among those worthy of a study designed to measure learning abilities.

Psychologists at the University of Virginia are asking users to participate in a psychometric test, called PsyLog, that measures changes in people's abilities and knowledge over time. The test, which asks you to find patterns in series of letters and numbers, takes about 45 minutes to complete. Results are automatically e-mailed back to the project sponsors and kept confidential.

If you'd like to participate, contact Steven Boker at aha@kiptron.psyc.virginia.edu.
