Given that no label can completely describe a person’s political views, with which of these labels do you MOST identify?
Under Political you really have to add a label for “Reactionary”.
Given how much the word “socialist” fucks Americans’ brains up I’d also prefer if you used the phrase “Social democratic” to describe what you assign to Scandinavia-type politics.
Or alternatively remove the distinction between what you call “Socialist” and “Liberal”, which seems to be only a manner of degree, and place them both under the “Progressive” label—which makes a decent enough symmetry: three options for the standard historical right-left spectrum of Reactionary, Conservative, Progressive, and two corresponding to the remodellings of society represented by the more extreme opposite views of Libertarian-Communist.
Relationship Goals ” …and currently looking for more relationship partners” ” …and currently not looking for more relationship partners”
This has problems with connotations. “Currently not looking” doesn’t necessarily mean that someone isn’t open to having more partners, it might they’re just not actively searching.
“How many children do you have” doesn’t include options like “0, and I’ve not decided whether I want any” or “0, and though I would want to have some, it’s extremely unlikely that I will ever have any.” Frankly I don’t see why you are confusing a question about what people have currently with what they want.
Also, it’s an awkward question to ask if anyone has had a child who died. Do you mean all the children they’ve had, or the ones currently living?

Same with the sibling question. (I’d say it should depend on how old they where when they died.)
