Thanks for everyone's participation! I didn't expect to get so many responses.
I also appreciate your feedback on the questions. I well understand that they are limiting, concise, and lack nuance. My humble hope is that your personal beliefs fall somewhere between those responses and that we interpret the questions similarly.
It would be always be great to find out more, but I'm not looking to waste anyone's time (especially without compensation). As St. Margaret noted: the various forum discussions go into far more detail and discussion than I could hope to do justice to in a short survey. I do hope that the questions were interesting and helped you understand clearer where you stand as a parent in relation to other parents.
To address a few other things:

They're important to many, but not all. I did my best to respect the wide diversity of beliefs people have about self-control and discipline and I'll tell you that there are quite a few people who don't value either of those principles as much as they value others. Those are the attitudes I was interested in learning about.

That is one of the issues, too. I tried to leave that open to your interpretation of discipline, as the various approaches are beyond the scope of the survey. Thanks for pointing that out, however, it's worth looking at that question again to see if it needs to be changed.
Thanks for everyone's time.
