Like most surveys, and especially those devised by psychologists ans sociologists, there are questions for which there are no sensible answera -- they are based on assumptions that IMO are nonsensical. There should always be the option of "no answer" or "not relevant" or "not understood." For example, "strength" is not an emotion in my lexicon, so any answer I give to a question about strength will mislead the surveyer.

Wolf K doesn't realize that surveys like this are never "authored" by psychologists; rather the given answers are based on other answers. Psychologists are not supposed to make value judgements on responses - otherwise they would be priests or something like that, not psychologists. "Strength", for example, is regarded as an emotion by some people, rightly or wrongly.
