Nuclear Weapons Complex Abuse Questionnaire

This questionnaire, sponsored by Idealist.ws, is designed to help you decide if you are in an abusive situation with your nation’s nuclear weapons complex.

There are different forms of abuse, and not everyone experiences all of them.

Below are thirteen questions. Try to characterize the frequency of abuse, as described within each question, by choosing one of the answers: Never, Rarely, Sometimes or Frequently.
