While I agree we could deploy different types of surveys to gather different types of data, I feel that a survey of surveys might induce premature survey fatigue. User research, especially surveys, consumes people's time and energy. Rather, I propose we work from the other direction. If the goal of the research activity is to gather data that will help us build insight and drive informed design and development decisions, then we should focus the surveys on the information we need to do that.
