There is no limit on how many people can do your experiment, even with a free account.

The catch? There is no catch! Just keep in mind that with a free account, you cannot collect data. For teaching that is usually not a problem. For research, prepaid data collection (unlimited subjects) starts as low as €10.00 for a 10-day period.

Introduction

This experiment will measure your reaction time on a set of 18 words. The total time of the experiment will take around 5 minutes, including a questionnaire. Before you may start, please read the following text. Press the space bar when you have read this.

I willingly participate in this experiment. I confirm that I am at least 16 years old and I realize that I can stop participating at any moment during the task, without providing any reason. Press the space bar if you wish to consent.

Questionnaire

Read each statement and select the appropriate response to indicate how you feel right now, that is, at this very moment. There are no right or wrong answers. Do not spend too much time on any one statement but give the answer which seems to describe your present feelings best. Press space bar when you are ready.
