There is one fault in the survey - it insists that you choose an icon in some 
of the questions. There were two questions where I couldn't identify any 
obvious icon for the action in question, so I just had to plump for a random 
answer. That won't help the quality of the survey results.

I also would have liked an opportunity for general comments. IMHO the various 
16x16 zoom icons are almost indistinguishable from each other - the plus and 
minus signs, or lack thereof, are far too small to see easily.
