Hello Ben, I voted but I didn't find signing up the first year quick or easy! Skip the survey questions and ask CF questions? I think most CF people would enjoy the challenge of the test and if you had a 'winner' of the test it would be an incentive as well. Just don't publish the results of everyone test scores so I don't feel bad.
