Responses to feedback we have gotten to our surveys
"As my headmate said (copy pasting with slight edits) This implies a certain level of framework use that not every system uses in places(headmate roles, origin theories as kinds of systems rather than theories that system holds, identity labels that not every headmate uses that assume those are also a kind of headmate- might as well call a headmate with a particular sexuality a kind of headmate). We dont use origin terms as a 'type' of system we are. We do not think our origin *theories* are that important to our material experiences. In particular with origins it implies that all headmates agree on a origin theory for the system as a whole or for individual headmates as well. Which is.. Not the case."
Most of our questions are optional. The headmate roles and modifiers were only to see if there was a pattern to see if a certain type of role experienced exomemories more than others. For the origin criticism we will begin to add an option to say you don't want to disclose your origin but once again all of our questions are optional for this reason. On the thing of all headmates agreeing on a origin most surveys will be looking of what is the most agreed on for your system but the survey this criticism came from was individual and that means the headmate puts their own opnion.

"Exomemories are not exclusive to systems or Only a cover for a real trauma memory in systems with trauma related elements, they are for singlets and for dream memories and for hallucinations and 'kin memories' and can also just. Be a thing. They are simply memories that didnt happen to the body. Thats it."
This blog and by proxy the surveys on it are for plural people or systems. We never said that exomemories are only related to trauma we were asking for those who's exomemories do relate to trauma to explain (if they felt comfortable doing so) how they related to trauma. Though when we redo the survey we will add an option that asks how similar the exomemories are to body memories.

"Sorry. I have no hate to you, good luck with your survey, but it's hard not to have a spiteful hate towards how the community shifted from trust someone and their experiences to insisting they are just uninformed on things like this."
We do apologize we were under the assumption that it was a community consensus that headmates can not die permanently. We want to make this blog and the surveys as inclusive to everyone as possible and we do not want to invalidate anyone's opinion. We do apologize for that and we apricate the feedback telling us where we were unfair.

"Brainmade was a confusing term; it took me a second to figure out what the question meant, as all of my alters come from my brain."
We do apologize just as before we though this was a well known community term. All headmates do come from the brain but we were meaning did their source come from the brain. We will be using non-introject from now on.

So one thing that multiple people mentioned is that certain questions do not apply to the (like the first responed on this post said) and for those questions simply do not answer them. We make almost all questions optional for that reason exactly, some questions will not apply to you and if that happens just skip them.
