Participate in a survey on the spatial thinking skills of scientists.

Mary Hegarty, Department of Psychology UCSB and Tim Shipley, Temple University are working on a project to understand the relations among internal visualization ability, navigation ability, and complex spatial thinking. As part of that project, we would like to collect data on self-reported navigation and visualization abilities across a wide range of academic disciplines. We have developed a questionnaire to assess visualization, navigation, and verbal abilities to see if individuals in different disciplines (e.g., chemistry, geology, mathematics) report different profiles of strengths.  The survey just takes a few minutes to complete and is on line at:

If you participate you will receive feedback on how your spatial abilities compare with those of hundreds of other participants in our survey.  We hope that you are willing to participate.
