Good idea. I hadn't noticed that.

I agree that the survey was flawed for the various reasons cited. What's 
worse is that it also imposed a bias towards certain technologies.

Personally, I was annoyed by one of the pages that required me to rank 
my interest in technologies that I may not have heard of. It didn't 
permit leaving the row blank, and there was no "don't know" column. 
Saying you have no interest in something you haven't heard of is not the 
correct answer.

Even when they do permit multiple responses on one question, surveys 
like this are particularly bad a capturing the significance of one 
choice versus another. I may check off a half-dozen of the language 
options, but there is only one or two that I use daily.
