I left some comments on the document. Thanks for producing and sharing it!
It seems as though, by “questionnaire”, you mean something more like “individual worksheet someone can use to think through a career change”. Based on your first post, I had been thinking of it as a survey/”invitation to share your story”. My initial suggestions sometimes treated the document as a potential survey.
As a general piece of advice, think carefully about every question to make sure it pulls its weight; I think you’re currently on the side of “trying to do too much”, and that you could help people get almost as much insight into themselves with many fewer questions. Especially watch out for questions that will have somewhat redundant answers, like “what standard of living is acceptable?” and “can you downsize to save money?”.
Also, just read through your extensive and thoughtful comments—thank you for that. As you noted, this was more a worksheet than a survey, and I’ll try to keep a clearer distinction between those two projects.
Thanks, good insights. I was imagining a way to help individuals think through their personal situation in a more in-depth way (the worksheet linked here), and a set of interview questions to spark conversation (my last post). I’ll give that some thought.
