I am working on a Rails app where people sign up and have a profile.
When
they are first signing up, they fill in their profile but I have an
additional question when they are creating their account that alters the
initial configuration of the account but is never used afterwards, so I
don’t want to include it in the profile. It is a multiple choice
question
with certain validation rules. How do I go about including this in the
form?

How serious do these validations need to be? You may be able to do all
of this in the view, using JavaScript for validation. As long as the
result of the choice being made here is backed up by actual validations
on your model, you should be fine.
