As an example, let's have a look at the first two questions:
1) Do you use Wikimedia Commons at all?
Choose one of the following answers

    * Yes, regularly
    * Yes, sometimes
    * No

Criticism: not exact. What is "regularly"? Once a day? Once a week? Once a
month? 5% of all wiki edits? 25% of all wikiedits?

2) What is your main goal when you look for free media files on Commons?
Choose one of the following answers

    * I look for media files to illustrate Wikipedia or another Wikimedia
project.
    * I look for media files to use online on another website.
    * I look for media files to use offline (reports, presentations,
homework).
    * Other:

Criticism:
Many wikipedians may choose 1), look for media files, as there is no option
"upload media files".
