Volunteer for Test Subliminals?

[Shannon]

Hi, Tim. The way I do the testing process is like this.

Tier 1 testing is always done by me, on me, with nobody else around. For instance, as I type this, the first prototype of the MPME is playing, and I am alone at my office. I basically observe what it does to me a number of times, and if and when I both observe that a result is had and the result is understood and safe, I send the program to Tier 2 testing.

Tier 2 testing is done by me on people I can directly observe who have agreed to participate, or on people I trust to expose themselves while I personally watch. This allows me to catch anything they may miss, and again verify safety. Naturally, only people in my personal vicinity can be Tier 2 testers, and they are typically friends of mine.

Tier 3 testing is where people can test the program without me directly observing. For a program to enter Tier 3 testing, it must pass Tier 1 and 2 testing without any concern for safety, and without failing to clearly produce the desired and intended result for at least a large majority of the testers. Usually about 85%.

However, I do not accept volunteers for testing. I select testers based on certain special criteria and when I determine that someone is suitable for being a Tier 3 tester, I let them know they are invited to test and they can decide what to do from there.
