I agree with the concerns of Nico and Sarah. I also filled in the survey
and commented about some question that can be understood and answered in
several different ways. I did not fill in any contact information, except
my e-mail address, because I thought that my address is none of their
business and unnecessary for the survey. (Instead, I expected some
questions regarding my age and profession.) I also did not check the box
about whether they may contact me again in the future. I feel stranger and
stranger aboutthe motivation for this survey and would probably not fill it
out anymore today.

I agree with Sarah... I did the survey, at the end of which they ask for
your contact info. Some of the questions are very difficult to answer,
and I almost got the impression to be under some sort of personal and
character evaluation. You will answer differently depending on whether
you are guided by ideals or the reality of today's industrial world.

I'd be interested to hear what other people who did the survey thought
of the questions and their usefulness for statistical evaluation.

cheers
Nico
