Okay, I have a 'Science Project' to do and I decided to do something simple this year. I want to collect and analyze data on how people perceive gamers. So, all I'm asking is that you take this survey and just leave your name in the post so I know you took it (PLEASE answer all of the questions. While not required, it will help me a ton.). Thanks for your help.
Survey 1, which is basically information on you, the gamer.

I answered, but I hava a few points I'd like to mention:
1) Your second survey should be about the way the survey taker feels towards gamers, not about the way he thinks other people think about gamers. Asking what someone thinks is the only way to get the closest to a true answer. The other way around you're asking someone about someone else's perception and that might come out really skewed. Also, the survey seems to have something of a bias, specially in the question regarding the type of games people play. It's like five or six choices are sprinkled with negative views towards the games and only one with a positive view which even feels false from the get go. With choices like that, of course you'll get a negative outlook in your answers.
The point of a survey is to gather data, not to push your own views into other people's answers. I would have left that question with a "fill in the blank" box like some of the others you had.
2) From the first survey, the appearance aspect of it asks questions that have very little to do with gamers. Height? Since when is height somehow related to a person being a gamer or not? it's all in the genes and has to do very little with a gamer's choice. Also, gamers are a very diversified bunch, not really setting to a clothing trend or a hairstyle trend. It's not like we're a cultural group a la goths or bikers, which have sort of a "group" look and similar outlook on life. Weight might be gaming related, since the person who overdoes the staying at home playing games usually ends up getting fat or getting skinny, but I wouldn't say gaming is the ruling factor over that aspect either.
3) The amount of time people spend gaming. If you divide 11+ weekly hours between the seven days of the weeks, you get 1.5 hours per day. Most people will end up checking this answer and it will seem like everyone in your survey is a hardcore gamer, when 1.5 hours per day doesn't seem like that big a number. Add to that weekend hours and a lot of people will spend more than 11 hours playing videogames. 11+ hours shouldn't have been your final answer and again, it seems like the survey is biased to getting a specific result (we're all hardcore addicts!) and not geared towards collecting data to THEN try and find out a result or conclusion based on the average of answers you get.
Other than that, good luck on your project.
P.S. I should have mentioned I'm not american and neither are many of the forumers here, so your answers will be sprinkled with the social perceptions of foreign gamers, instead of just north americans. This might give you very different answers since your sample group is spread all over the world and their perceptions on gaming might be entirely different to yours and those of your country.

Done! :D hope it helps. Maybe you can show us a bit of compiled data. Im kinda curious now :)

Done as well. Hope it helps.

First off, thanks to everyone so far who has helped me. And yes, I'm quite aware of the fact that since this is a board full of people from different countries, I am going to get really different results, but that's part of the survey. I added height because well, I couldn't think of anything else for that part. The cultural part is I want to see what people think of us as gamers, what the stereotypical gamer looks like. Thanks again. =)
(Oh, and the hourly thing was just too see how many people chose more than 11 hours.) =)

Did the survey.

And done.
Although, it's not entirely scientific, mind you... El_Caz gave some pretty good tips.

Ah, the beautiful irony of what actually passes as a science project in secondary school and high school.
I'll answer your main question: There is no stereotypical gamer. There are, however, stereotypes about gaming. But in order to find opinions on that you'd have to ask people that aren't gamers.
The first survey "Gamer Stereotype" will do nothing towards finding an actual gamer stereotype. All you will get from those questions is random submissions, making up a data set from which no non-obvious conclusions can be drawn, and if you're unlucky with the data, completely wrong conclusions. What if 25 people answer your survey, and 15 of them happen to be above age 30? Are you going to conclude that 60% of gamers are above age 30?
The second survey, "What i a Gamer", gets downright silly. The first two questions are appropriate. Questions 3,4, and 5 are very inviting in terms of giving negative answers. While this serves the purpose of baiting people who actually have stereotypes about gamers into answering, you're a lot more unlikely to get answers from people who don't, thus skewing your data set in one direction. Question 6 is just silly. The 11 hours a week given as the maximum in question 7 is nothing. Most people spend more time on their hobbies, be it gaming, gardening, or rousting the local hookers for free handjobs.
If you want good data, you need to spend more time on making a more neutral survey, as well as getting your survey out to different kinds of people.
Then again, it is just a play-school "science" project thingy. So I see the desire to not spend a second more than necessary on getting it out of the way. It's just that the data you'll end up with this way will be interesting to absolutely no-one.

Done. Survey... Well, I dunno, it just doesn't seem too informative. El_Caz is a clever man and you should listen to him!

Thanks for the feedback, but I won't be altering those surveys. INSTEAD, I'm making a THIRD survey that will be made only for non gamers (And the results will of course be posted here.). Thanks again.
And on that day, I was blessed to learn all of life's answers. =P
Yeah, I know it wasn't detailed, I was getting that one out of the way. 11+ hours was to see how long you played, and I know I sure as hell play at least 30...
Well, third survey will be more interesting.

Bumped for the sake of data.

Did the first survey.
Not sure how to approach the second.

I took the first, but I don't really know what to do with the second. It seems to be directed at non-gamers. #3-5 seem like bait for stereotypes ("anything" or "I don't know" are the only reasonable answers I could really give for those), and #6 in particular is a vague question with loaded responses - I can't answer it honestly. My real response would be "gamers, in general, play games in general."

yeah I fucked up on number 2, if I change it the data is erased. the 3rd one I make will be targeted on non-gamers.

Done. Now Rohan you have no excuse not to join me in the upcoming League Races in Darkwind.
