KEY FEATURES:

The Socratic Forum is a dynamic survey panel that collects opinions to influence the business decision-makers of tomorrow. The panel is part of Socratic Technologies, an organization that helps companies develop new products, build market awareness, promote branding, test product usability and measure customer satisfaction. As a panel member, your insights and experiences will be used to shape new areas of development and influence the evolution of products and services. Your participation on the Socratic Forum panel is also always 100% voluntary.

Survey Details

Once you are a registered member of the Socratic Forum, you will be sent new survey invitations by email on an average basis of 2-3 times per month. Some surveys may be very short, taking only about 5 minutes to complete, while others may take 20 to 25 minutes to finish. The longer the survey, the more rewards will be attached for its completion as your time is very valuable!

Rewards

As your time is valuable, Socratic Forum rewards you for your participation in their surveys. Most surveys offer drawings for online gift certificates, cash prizes, or electronic equipment. A number of surveys also offer guaranteed incentive payments to members who qualify for and complete these surveys. Both the number and dollar amount of gifts are offered for taking a survey depend on the length and difficulty of the survey. Longer and more complicated surveys offer larger gifts or more chances to win.

Sweepstakes Entries

Some surveys offer sweepstakes entries, instead of cash. The prizes can come in the form of gift certificates, cash prizes or the hottest electronic merchandise. The longer the survey, the more entries you will receive.

"Prizes and Winners" Page

A nice feature on the Socratic website is the "Prizes and Winners" page which shows the breakdown of how much was given out in survey cash earnings and how many surveys were offered that month.

Privacy of Information

All surveys conducted with the Socratic Forum are for research purposes only. Your information will never be sold to a third party and will always be viewed in aggregate form along with hundreds of other answers. Your privacy and identity will always be protected.

Eligibility: Socratic Forum is currently not recruiting any new members; their "join now" link points to a website maintenance page which has been displaying for months. If/when registration opens back up, international members, 18+ will be accepted.

I'm from Australia and I have been with the site for a few years and I did a few different surveys for them, and was payed US$75.00 for a survey on printing and US$15.00 for a 25 minute survey on computers. I had to redeem my incentives in Amazon gift cards, that was fine but I had to hound them for months and months before they finally gave in and sent me the gift card e-number via email.

They don't send very many surveys, but, the one's they do send I usually qualify for, have good incentives, and are usually interesting. I've always been credited and paid by check in a reasonable amount of time.

I've always received what was offered to me. They don't send many surveys-- but the ones they do send is in a higher amount than most surveys which keeps me from complaining. Not too bad of a panel.

What I have made, I requested 3 months ago. I checked the status and saw the check was processed 5/15/09 and today is 7-29-09. Still no check. I didn't even cash out for very much.

These people have lately been not only taking an inordinate amount of time to send the money/gift certs, but do not answer their email in a timely fashion, if at all. I suspect financial problems as they always used to be good and quick with both email and sending rewards.
