A simple google form probably works fine as long as you disable the multiple-submission protection and email collection. If you want more variety and detail, you can use a single paragraph-response question as the entire form, but that risks giving enough detail for identification if the person isn't careful or you get too few submissions. If you don't mind just category data, you can make a checkbox list for things like racism/metoo'd/drugs/etc. You could even go for a bullet grid where each category is ranked as not applicable / i'd make some people unhappy / i'd lose my job / i'd lose my life.

I'd also like to propose another category: religious or political matters. Some people maintain the illusion of being a certain religion or political party to stay on good terms with their family.

Yeah I think separate vectors for type of skeleton and type of believed negative consequence makes a lot of sense; some correlation is expected, but it’s surprising and interesting if things aren’t as tightly correlated as one might expect, or if some categories are more common than one would assume.

If you can get a sufficiently large and diverse sample space, would also be interesting to see what types of skeletons people think they’d be ready to forgive in others. Would somebody who cheated on their medical school finals be willing to forgive someone who found a way to unfairly pass a bar exam? More so than other sins?

I started taking voice lessons around the time lockdowns began. It's interesting to me that the rationalism has a very active community for group vocal performance (in the Bay Area, anyway) but not much emphasis on individual vocal performance.
