BECOME A NEW USER

Welcome to use the Futures Consciousness Profile Test Tool

The test tool is available for practitioners and researchers all over the world. Interested users need to register and be prepared to demonstrate their affiliation with a research/educational organization. Please be patient as due to our limited resources, approval of registration may take 1-10 days. Do note that during the Finnish holiday periods from 1 July to 5 August and 22nd December to 7th January the processing of registrations is halted. You can start using the database once you receive the “Welcome” email to your mailbox.

All users are charged a database management fee, see Pricing. We offer generous discounts to students and independent research projects. The funds from the management fees are used for the maintenance and further development of the database. When registering as a user, please include also billing address and other related information, otherwise the bill will be sent to the email you have given as the main contact. Billing information can also be added later in your profile. Do note that the bills are sent from the University of Turku only a few times a year, so it might take several months before you receive the bill.

After registering as a user you will be able to access the following functions:

  • Create your own test groups so you can
    – Collect your own futures consciousness data from a group of respondents
    – Grant access to the test to your students or workshop participants and use the results for pedagogical purposes
  • Configure additional questions to the survey to pursue your own research set-up
  • See the results from your test groups summarized in a report
  • Have your test participants see their own results in personal profiles
  • Retrieve your data in .csv format ready to be analysed with third party software (available only to selected researchers)

It is advisable to use the test in the respondents’ native language. See here which languages are currently available. If you are interested in translating the test to a language not yet available, read more about that here.
