Is the submit not supposed to work on iOS? Kind of a let down to spend 10 minutes filling it out, then the submit button doesn't do anything.

I'm using Firefox on Windows and it doesn't seem to do anything either.

Try again? I had to try twice - google forms seems to be a bit overloaded.

=== SPOILER ALERT! === The most interesting question, to me, is the one about which words you know the meaning of. About half of them aren't real words. I assume this question is used partly as a gauge of vocabulary (how many of the real words do you recognize) and partly of honesty (how many of the fake words do you claim to recognize).

It was funny to see the slang word "fleek" in there, very unexpected.

If you like this sort of thing, you may also enjoy: 1) My website Correlated.org ( http://www.correlated.org ), which has been generating weird correlations based on users' survey responses for more than four years. 2) Spurious Correlations ( http://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations ) by Tyler Vigen, which also offers wacky correlations, but based on publicly available datasets rather than survey responses. 3)…

correlated.org: there are 1,500 of those?! Bang goes my afternoon ...
