Hi there, hope your science fair project is successful. But as a scientist, I have some suggestions for how you go about this in a "scientific" way. Please consider, for starters, not "trying to find a link" but simply "asking if there is a link." Or better still, state is as a question which can be disproven: "there is no link between hair color and eye color in Caucasians."

[/QUOTE]THIS SURVEY IS FOR CAUCASIANS(which i'm defining as being of EUROPEAN DESCENT)ONLY!! not being racist or anything like that, this is just the easiest way to do it and get reliable results. [/QUOTE]

Easiest way, yes, but reliability has nothing to do with it :) You're just trying to limit your test population. Trouble is, that's not so easy to define in the heavily admixed population today: how many non-caucasian ancestors do I need, and how far back, to be non-caucasian?? You need to define your terms more precisely, first.

[/QUOTE]PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE HONEST!! It's realllly important.
[/QUOTE]

You're totally right, it's important, *realllly* important, in fact, SO important you should certainly not be using this method of inquiry to ask the question. How can you tell if anyone who answers this post IS being honest? How can you tell it's not 20 different answers by the same person, registered under 20 different names? And, is 20 answers enough to disprove the original question? How many answers do you need? Will you be more sure of your answer from 100 answers than from 2 answers? (this should be a part of your project)

If you want reasonably reliable answers, go look yourself! Place yourself someplace where a wide variety of people come by, and you won't be too conspicuous, and set yourself at eye level. For, say, every 5th person who walks by, determine their eye and hair color. Not sure? Take a friend to confirm your observations (good scientific practice!). If the 2 of you can't agree, leave that observation off the list.

Here's the answers - all honest! - from me.

1. 42

2. F

3. Maryland, USA

4. brown

5. green

6. no/red

7. no/ok with green

8. mixed European (English, French, Irish, Dutch, tidbits of others)

p.s. if you're looking only at hair/eye color links, why the other demographic data requested? Hard to think any of it would correlate, except maybe ancestry (maybe). And, how many "colors" do you recognize for hair and eyes? What do you do if someone answers "light brown" is that brown, or blonde? What if they were a redhead as a child, but now reddish brown - is that red, or brown? :) see, it's more complicated than it looks....

Best wishes to you.
 
lol thanks for the advice, I know I'm not very good at this, it's not like I wanted to do a project in the first place though. But I figure that someone could just as easily be lying if I did it in person.
