In the mid-1960s, Testologen AB in collaboration with a group of advertisers, introduced a new way of investigation, where data about the target groups - socio-economic data, interests, purchasing habits, possessions, buying intentions - and data on reading habits were collected in the same survey.

Another question deals with how much money annually the respondent spends on gambling, clothes, entertainment etc. The respondent also had to state how often various shops were visited, how often various types of advertisement
