Another survey instrument

In the spirit of the Agnostic Ideology Sorter, but far more specific. This Likert scale survey is intended to pinpoint the specific beliefs of free-market anticapitalists, and to highlight similarities and differences between them, their closest allies and people who may be orthogonal to them or something. It seems there are a lot of subtleties in the market, non-state sector, and sometimes it’s not obvious to me what exactly they have in common with the non-market, non-state sector; and what they don’t. As usual, presented here is a first draft. The software for tabulating and analyzing responses is yet to come. Right now what I’m seeking from readers in the form of comments is not filled out surveys (although I’ll add them to the database of responses if requested to do so) so much as suggestions for additional survey items, more straightforward wording for survey items, etc. Circle is “radio button”, square is “check box”. These are represented here by circular and square Unicode characters because WordPress bypasses FORM elements and their controls. The column of check boxes to the right is labeled “more?” and if the visitor checks the box, the next screen will offer a text area where they can elaborate on how they interpreted the question, why they object to the question, why they answered the way they did, etc.
