That field has 41 levels, oy gevalt (I particularly like the religious background "Mother: Jewish; Fat"). Someone else can figure out that analysis!

"Mother: Jewish; Fat"

(Yvain should use larger text fields the next time.)

The lesson I have drawn from the survey is that free-response text fields are the devil and no one is to be trusted with them.
