"Purpose of this Survey: We want to learn more about how you feel about yourself now and how you felt about yourself before becoming a furry. We would also like to know how you feel about the furry community and your part, or place, in it."
Preliminary results have been released for a psychological survey taken at Anthrocon 2009 this July.
The survey team was led by Dr. Kathy Gerbasi, and has run surveys at Anthrocon since 2006, covering topics such as connections with other species, species dysphoria and gender identity disorder, happiness and social rejection, and the reasons furry fans wear (or do not wear) fursuits.
This year's survey focussed on determining sociability, empathy, sex role identification, and social desirability, as well as continuing research into furry identity.

The study was based one of the earliest surveys of the furry community: The Sociology of Furry Fandom by David Rust, which was published online in 2001. Rust's survey is arguably one of the most known and referenced study of the furry community."
You can compare this to earlier fandom-wide surveys:

We will again provide a lovely pawprint ribbon to everyone who turns in a survey.
We want to encourage more people who are NOT FURRY to take the survey. These folks as you know from reading
