Hello everyone! I'm doing a small research project for my final MBA course and was wondering if I could get some help. I've prepared a survery for parents of identical twins and need at least 25 responses to compare with scientic data I gathered at the start of the course. The focus of my research project is the personal growth and development of identical twins. I would really appreciate any help you'd be willing to give. The survey contains 25 open and closed ended questions. I've pasted the survey below or I can email you the Word file. If you choose to participte, please email the completed survey to andrea_bartula@iname.com no later than 6 February 2008. Anyone interested in the results, please let me know. I'll be glad to share.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks.
