:Brian Lynch used to attend test screenings all the time when he was going to William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ, maybe he can pipe in with some details on how he was recruited.
when i worked at the willowbrook mall in wayne, nj, there was a testing company there who would do various surveys and whatnot...they used to have screenings at the big sony theatre (back then it was loewes) across the street. the people would hang out in the mall and talk to various people, usually a stereotypical individual though, and then give them a quick verbal survey. i remember them talking to us about it, 'cause they stood in the main hall outside my store. they said they had to invite a certain amount of females/males/ages to it and usually it was the next afternoon or evening. you had to have a ticket to go though, they were pretty particular. afterwards, we'd answer questionairres about the film. i know that when i was in the mall of america in minneapolis they asked us to watch a preview and then if we wanted to go to a screening. i wasn't allowed to go because i was from NJ and they wanted people with valid Minneapolis driver's liscences.
