Choosing your "it depends" option as an example, if I added that and 30% chose it, I wouldn't have any idea what their decision depended on and the only way to find out would to be open it up even further by adding a free text option so that if they chose "it depends" they could also add, in their words, what it depended on. I feel (although you may well disagree) that I worded the questions in a way that tightly fit the available answers meaning there would be little need, if any, for further options. > > This of course is a requirement for us. :-) > > Cheers > > robert What is a requirement?
