Final Questions (draft 1) & Final Draft

Hey guys, if we are going to make Q3 about an individuals level of information, I think we need to decide if the question will be one of two ways. the first being something along the lines of "How informed do you consider yourself on environmental issues? 1) Well informed, 2) somewhat informed, 3) not very informed, 4) not at all." or we could ask it in another way, such as, "How much time do you spend reading (researching?) environmental issues (per week maybe?): the answer scale we would have to figure out, possibly 1)10+ hours, 2)7-10 hours, 3) 4-7 hours, 4)1-3 hours, 5) less than one hour, 6) none.

I guess these are two ways of trying to get the same information. I think the second question would allow us more information to analyze and give a more accurate depiction of the relationship between hours spend educating oneself vs. the first question which simply asks them to tell us how educated they feel they are. The second one is more concise, I feel and it leaves less room for self-interpretation which the first question is very open to.
