Is there a limit to the number of questions in a SharePoint survey?

The question of the day comes from Red Gloves in Stump the Panel:

Is there a limit to the number of a kind of question you can put into a Sharepoint Survey? That was the message I received when I was inputting a series of Yes/No questions. If so, this instrument will not work for the task I need it to perform–disappointing.

Paul Grenier responds:

Limits
* 64 Single line of text and Choice (drop-down menu or radio buttons)
* 31 Multiple lines of text and Choice (check boxes (allow multiple sections))
* 32 Number and currency
* 32 Hyperlink
* 16 Date and time
* 16 Lookup
* 16 Yes/No
* 8 Calculated

I suggest using Choice instead of Yes/No and making your choices “Yes, No”
