In my opinion, it is not a good idea to pre-select the answers to the questions based on the respondent's self-classification.
It introduces a bias because the respondent is likely to choose the answers that you have already chosen for them.
Without the bias, you would have the opportunity to compare the answers with the self-classification to gain more insight and to improve the analysis.
Thanks! I agree. I was playing around with the UX of pre-selected choices but the bias risk is high. Will remove it.
Well, I did not really think much of the "pre selected answers" because I just thought it was the neutral starting point. I don't know if unconsciously, it changed my answers but even after seeing some "pre selected answers" I still answered the way I want to.
I think it is a pretty good start regardless. Short, quick, easy to navigate to. People could do whatever they wanted with the advice they were given. It could be a guide but doesn't necessarily mean you have to follow it religiously. At the end of the day, it still depends on what resonates with you the most. This is quite impressive, though.
