I find some other issues with the metrics the question provides. Technically speaking, it would be really difficult to manage this scale if you want some parametrics. I mean, what´s the gap between a few days and forever, for example? or even funnier, what´s the (semantic) difference btw "more than a few days" and "forever"?? That´s cool, I like this examples, and even though you can manage to do something with this answer the idea is to do the best analytical work you can, no? Great example.

In another recent example, I saw a survey that used totally out of date household types (marital/children status). They may have been realistic for 99% of the population 20 years ago, but not today!
