I'm sure you'll get responses from the general public who don't overthink the question to be sure, and I am pretty sure I already know what you're looking for with that line of questioning, and I think given the culture of the fandom those who don't think of things in specifics and are more emotionally based will certainly put their feelings on those things down despite "animal" being broad in someone who analyzes things too much in my mind.
Hopefully this musing didn't cause any undo influence in that question for anyone who hadn't read the question already. Though, people sometimes take these things in groups, and some of the questions were on previous surveys, and I think that might also have influence on some answers, particularly if someone noticed a conclusion from previous cycles they didn't want to admit even if they answered similarly and thus changed their answers this time around. I didn't look at the previous results until after taking it this time, so it didn't cause me to think about the results and instead just answer the questions.
Sometimes you just have to hope for honesty and integrity in those taking these things. Sometimes though survey takers do think about what the results will imply rather then just being honest though, which unfortunately disenfranchises them in a way.
