- Survey "feels" long, that is, it feels like it takes forever to get to the end.
There seems to be a regular "No answer" option, this is not really useful for getting stats. I would advocate removing that option where it occurs throughout the survey. --> this is what mark a question "non mandatory" - nijaba
The sub-text: "Check any that apply" should probably be "Check all that apply" --> All that apply is used when question is mandatory and user is supposed to at least check one. - nijaba
