This coding allows us to assign overallscores in Sociality, Activity, Power and User Intensity for each user by factoring in data fromall the questions. All questions were categorized as relating to real life, IMVU, or both,although not all questions were assigned a value for Sociality (SO), Activity (AC), Power (PO)or User Intensity (IN). Those questions are not entered into our preliminary analysis.2.3 ProcedureThe survey was launched on Tuesday, November 30th 2010 to an audience of 25,000 U.S.-onlyIMVU users.
