Why not use the Kinsey sex scale for sexual orientation? (really depends on what you want to gather out of this information)
A split question of whether your children are biologically related to you or just children you are raising.
Allow multiple options (checkboxes) for work-status, and profession.
I have seen "education level" as highest level completed; but it doesn't take into account highest level incomplete. so where I might be part of a bachelors, I could not say so because I have not yet completed it. Perhaps a level of "highest education not yet completed"
An option of "other" for political view
Allow multiple (checkboxes) for referrals.
an option to skip the probabilities section. and submit the survey without participating in that part.
If you are currently working towards a bachelor's, you'll have answered “Student” on the Working Status question.
That makes the data harder to break down; but also someone could be a student + working.
As I suggested checkboxes for that question.
Also what if someone got partway through a bachelors then got a better offer and is now working. the highest level of education /completed/ would not reflect their knowledge/skill.
Good idea. There are even more detailed scales, such as the Klein grid.
