This is not a well written survey.  It is all over the place!  Track ONE, 
or at most TWO variables.  Don't ask a bunch of useless questions.  Do 
you really even know what the variables you are tracking are?

I used to hate when non-statisticians in companies I worked for designed 
surveys to gauge stuff like internal customer satisfaction, etc.  I 
sometimes wondered if the surveys were poorly written on purpose, to make 
it easier to spin the data.

"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by 
stupidity." Unless, of course, you're dealing with sales, marketing,
H.R. or internal IT.
