I think it's a good idea, and I'd also like to have a nice dataset of responses because I think it might make for good factorization practice: I suspect that nootropics really cluster into stimulants, anxiolytics, and miscellaneous/ineffective, and it'd be nice to see if similar clusters emerge from the survey responses.
