Actually, the directions to the survey state that a 0 is to be marked for those techniques not tried and a 1 is to be marked as the least effective ranking. To quote: "If you have not tried a technique, rate it as a 0. If you have tried a technique, rate its effectiveness from 1 to 5, with 1 being not very effective and 5 being very effective.".
It's a design limitation of Google docs that I had to format it this way, since with radio buttons there's no way to unchoose marking any answer if you accidentally mark a technique you haven't tried.
Oops. I apologize for not reading carefully enough. I was looking at the text on the left-hand side of the 0-5 options ("0 - Haven't tried / 1 - Not very effective") and parsing that as "0 - haven't tried/not very effective".
I guess many other people made the same mistake I did though, since nobody else corrected me, and my comment was voted up and received another comment that presupposed that what I said was true.
Yeah, definitely may not have been clear enough. Given the responses I've gotten so far, though, I think I'll be revising the survey and doing a repost after asking for input from LW on the content.
