Agreed, even with that being part of the mission statement I felt like there were more questions aimed at “do you want to run a business??!” than the hobby itself.It seems remarkably obsessed with the idea of starting a business.
It reads more like a sales tool for business start-up services. Given that, and the way the positive end negative ends of the scale confusingly flip around, I felt my answers would be of no value and abandoned the survey.one of Dr Mercer's key areas of interest is entrepreneurship, so he's interested in how gamers rate on those scales, especially since so many game companies are started by gamers who say "hey, I've got a great idea!"
That worked.
I'll note that the genre list is pretty weak.

Without looking at the list again, I can't be more specific, but the list is EXTREMELY board and computer focused... for example, RPGs have almost no 4X games, but do have romances, and 2X and 3X games (which 2 of the 4 X's vary; D&D tends to be explore and exterminate.)What you would like to have seen different? (probably too late to change now with ~1400 or so responses, but could help us for the future)
In which case, the wording of the survey and its alpha-testing have been done carelessly, without questioning the author's assumptions.I can promise that absolutely NO ONE associated with this survey is trying to sell you on a start-up!
I'm partially sighted. I was doing the survey on a landscape-format laptop screen, with the font sizes turned up far enough that I have about six question rows on the screen at a time. With the screen like that, it's much, much easier to keep track of which end of a scale is positive mentally than keep scrolling back up to check.The scales flip by design b/c it's intended to make sure you're paying attention and not just on auto-pilot. I'm not a fan of it doing that way, but that's how that set of tools are designed.
