I would imagine that it would be very difficult to obtain enough
information to carry out such a survey effectively.

Personally, I have certainly seen passwords (with corresponding 
user names) written on post-it notes stuck to monitors, on 
whiteboards, and sometimes just scribbled down on random bits of paper
lying on a desk.

This is much more likely to occur if people are *given* passwords
instead of choosing their own.
