Now New Scientist wants to know how much self-control you have. Take our survey and we'll pass the results on to Baumeister and his team. He'll do some fancy stats on them to see just how high our readers rank.
The survey is strictly anonymous and no attempt will be made to personally identify respondents. Results will be analysed confidentially and in aggregate form only. No attempt will be made to contact those who reply. Please do not include personal information in your responses.
Take the survey: How's your willpower?
