Good survey. My comments on what could be improved:
“Do most people your age, who live where you live, have a driver’s license?”
A “I don’t know” answer would have been appropriate here. I know many who do have, and some who don’t, and loads that I have no idea of. But I ended up answering “no”, because I assumed this was meant to control for the good/bad mass transport issue. If that interpretation was correct, I’m not entirely sure that this wording is the best way to control for it.
I had the same issue as Yvain on the “exercise” question.
“Do you plan to sign up for cryonics” could use both “maybe”, and a “maybe, if it becomes better available in my country” options.
I found it odd that the “relative to others in your work...” question didn’t have an “about average” option.
On the questions where you’ll compare yourself to others, I expect that many people will use the “average / similar” replies as a stand-in for “don’t know”. Might be good to add a “how certain are you of this, on a scale from 1 to 3” subquestion to control for those.
I found it a bit odd that we were asked for “self-help, business, or productivity books”, but nothing about other kinds of books.

The calibration questions were good.
