Hi, it’s me AGAIN! I found this today also. I don’t know how often they let you evaluate because I found them today, but I have gotten confirmation emails from all of them. I don’t know if you already have these on your site or not.

This is one that is supposed to let you test various products.

Recently evaluated products include:

• Handheld and wireless products (PDAs, digital cameras, wireless Internet access devices)
• Consumer hardware (scanners, printers, modems)
• Consumer software (graphics, publishing and printing software, content filtering and Internet software)
• E-commerce (financial services, portals, browsers and plug-ins)
• Internet appliances and a whole lot more.

Contract Testing Inc. specializes in sensory evaluations where you the consumer is asked to give opinions about the taste, texture, smell, appearance, etc. of various products. Manufacturers often request that a consumer or sensory test be conducted when they wish to gather information about a new product that they are planning, make changes to an existing product or perhaps substantiate an advertising claim. Some of the products we might test include cookies, soup, frozen and microwavable dinners, cigarettes, mints, soft drinks, soap, detergent, shampoo, mouthwash, and other personal care, food, or household items. WE NEED YOU, the consumer, to help us complete tests and we are willing to pay for your assistance. This can be a fun way to earn extra money and everyone is welcome to sign-up (some restrictions apply).

This requires to go to locations for focus groups.
