I find it way US-centric and pigeon-holing of people, but those things are probably unfixable for anything that could be called a survey. If possible, make a narrow AI to interview subjects and compute amplitude distributions in personspace or something, it's the only way something like this could ever satisfy everyone.
Agreed about the pigeon-holing, but why is the US-centrism unfixable?
Because I wrote the post quickly and didn't distinguish properly between being possible to fix in theory and the probability of actually being fixed in practice.
C'mon, I think it wouldn't be unfeasible to reduce the US-centrism to a negligible level, if one seriously tried.
