You might not be aware of this, but buried in your questionnaire are some of the things that someone seeking to manipulate a person's identity would ask.  This is probably not the best venue upon which to conduct this sort of research.

EDIT:  You don't have to be so rude in your response, especially since I was quite polite to you.  It's just that some of the questions you're asking are the EXACT SAME security questions asked as authentication questions for a number of on-line financial websites, like banks, credit unions and other institutions:

What is your birth date?
Where did you go to school?
What was your favorite subject in school?
How long have you lived at your current residence?

It's not totally inconceivable that someone with malevolent intent wouldn't bury these sorts of questions in a seemingly innocuous questionnaire.  It's been done before.

You should mention this to your teacher.  And you should also learn some manners.  The anonymity of the Internet is no excuse for rudeness.
