Because people don't understand statistics. The survey was very well made.

Agreed, the survey was pretty decent. My biggest complaint, however, was that there wasn't an option for "don't want," only "want least." Sometimes I got three options that I actually do want, and sometimes I got two that I definitely don't want, and I think it would be useful to communicate that.

How do you weigh a Don't Want with Want Most? A 0.1 weighting is much more useful than a negative weighting. And it is rightfully phrased so.

I would weigh a don't want the same as want least. I just had a couple situations where two options were both "don't want," and I wish I could have communicated that instead of picking one to be in the middle. I don't think the same should be true of "want most" though, I should be forced to rank those. But for two things I really don't care about, ordering doesn't convey any extra useful information.
