Here is a questionnaire I've come up with as part of some research for my dissertation. It's to see what teenagers are interested in reading. I am planning on going to my old school and handing it out to a couple of students but in the meantime I thought I would post it here and see what you guys are interested in. I would prefer teenagers/young adults to fill this out but if you're older and still want to fill it out try and do so with a teenagers mindset.
So here we go!

Any kind of ending really, I don't have a preference (though happy ones are nice)
Male Protagonist (most books I come across have a female protagonist. It gets boring after awhile, though I don't mind it.)
It could have been better if this questionnaire was done via Google forms where the information of those who answer are kept private by you. You will always have the preference to place here sample answers to inspire others to do the same as well.
