The Weight field is used in the calculations for Survey reports (produced later, once all users have responded to a survey).

For example, you can use the numbers 1-5 for the weight, where 1 is a very important answer, 2 is important, 3 is some what important, 4 is less important, and 5 is not important. Then, based on this value, the Survey Report can calculate, from all the answers that users submitted, to know how many users answered the important questions or how many chose other questions.
