Ping Opabinia_regalis, is this close to what you were hoping to learn? Can any of these be cut? Is anything not asked, which ought be? 75.108.94.227 (talk) 09:54, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

See, I told you my brain was fried; I'd overlooked Q8 earlier. I don't envy you all the task of parsing and compiling free-text responses going up to "U", but if you think you will get good results with this level of granularity, that would be very interesting. Good luck! Opabinia regalis (talk) 23:47, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Zombies love fried brains, so no worries.  ;-)     Yes, the question of "will we get good results" is weighing heavily on my mind. The more terse we make the questionnaire, the more likely people will respond... the more formalized and parameterized we make it, the more likely people will respond in a parse-able fashion! See User_talk:75.108.94.227/arb'15_tiny and User_talk:75.108.94.227/arb'15_teensy_tiny, for an alternative approach to these types of quesstions.
