With regards to the survey, would you consider adding a third option to each of the answer sets to cover null cases (i.e. not applicable or insufficient information). Alternatively giving context in which the statement's made (e.g. previous 4/5 comments from both parties) may help.

e.g. "I am a guy"

    -1: inventive/curious
    -2: consistent/cautious
#2 given it's a simple statement with no follow up question.

    -1: efficient/organized
    -2: easy-going/careless
#1 as it's a statement with no fluff or politeness surrounding it.

    -1: outgoing/energetic
    -2: solitary/reserved
Hard to say. I picked #2 as it's a short answer trying to avoid more conversation, but depending on the context could just as easily be #1 (e.g. "Do you like sports?").

    -1: friendly/compassionate
    -2: analytical/detached
As above; opted for 2 because it's a statement of fact (but again, if the previous statement was something like "Do you think Natalie Tran's attractive" it could be #1)

    -1: sensitive/nervous
    -2: secure/confident
This is the hardest one each time. #1 - they're trying to give short answers to move the conversation back to the other person / away from them. #2 - they're not waffling on nervously, but are communicating clear and simple facts (with confidence?).

Thank you for participating in the survey, first of all!

I'll consider implementing one of those options. Thank you for your feedback.
