Question 3 is a 'free' answer, which in my case was 'none'

In this case, your Question 4 is nonsense — because it presupposes you do use a CAT tool! Either Question 3 should have a 'none' option, in which case Question 4 could be adapted to offer suitable answers; or else Question 3 could be modified "...if you use one, or if not, please explain why not?"

As it stands, the results are somewhat meaningless — I imagine I'm probably far from being the only translator
