26 questions, each with 2 statements. One statement choice represent the hyperfemininity response
and is scored with a 1. The alternative answer choice is scored with 0.

The default data stored in the data files are:
(1) Raw data file: 'hyperfemininityscale_survey.iqdat'
date, time: date and time script was run with the current group/subjectnumber
subject, group, session: with the current subject/groupnumber/session id
build: the Inquisit build
q*_response: response given (in assigned values)
Scale: 1 (hyperfeminin answer choice) - 0 (otherwise)
q*_latency: how much time (in ms) the participant spent on the surveypage with this particular
question (the last time this particular surveypage was visited)

computer.platform: the platform the script was run on (win/mac/ios/android)
script.startdate: date script was run
script.starttime: time script was started
script.subjectid: assigned subject id number
script.groupid: assigned group id number
