Questionnaire

Quick guide:
On open questions, feel free to respond in short or in any way which you feel will answer the question sufficiently. If a question is hypothetical for you, don’t feel compelled to answer it.
On multiple choice questions, simply type an “X” or any other clear, distinct mark of choice to indicate the answer that fits the most accurately.
On statements (indicated by #), type a number from 1 to 5 after the statement, meaning as follows:
1= Disagree
2= Disagree, but not entirely
3= No particular opinion
4= Agree, but not entirely
5= Agree

We hope you will answer this questionnaire truthfully. If there are any questions you really don’t feel comfortable answering, you are not compelled to give a response.
