People don't think primarily in one language.
Well you do if you're not competent (maybe fluent? Might depend on the person) in more than one language, of course, but otherwise you don't, AFAIK.

As for the native language definition, it seems to me that I'm not the only one to have answered the poll based on their personal interpretation of what "native language" is.
That is pretty much to be expected.
Unless you first present a clear definition of what is meant by "native language", for the purposes of the poll, you'll get some differing interpretations of the term.
It's not quite perfectly clear, and there are differing opinions. Even with the definitions I've posted, those could be interpreted in significantly different ways. It would, e.g., change which language(s) are my native ones.
I strongly feel that it should be defined one way, but there are not unreasonable arguments that can be made for other interpretations...
Well, the poll does ask "What
would you consider to be", so I guess it's kinda appropriate
