I'm not a survey expert at all.. It seemed to me like we would get more useful data by asking people to choose the best answers, not all which could apply (with regards to why they use drupal, etc.). The original version did have "select all".
... I think the mention "select no more than 3" can be safely removed everywhere.
I talked with my friend who helped edit _Asking Questions: The Definitive Guide to Questionnaire Design_ [1]. He said: "If you want to know the most important thing, say 'all that apply.'" "If you want a good sample of the sorts of things people care about, go 'pick 3'" I'm going to go ahead with 'all that apply.' 1. http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0787970883,descCd-authorI... -- Neil Drumm http://delocalizedham.com/
