  • Multiple Choice: Multiple Choice questions form the basis of most research. They can be displayed as a traditional list of choices or as a dropdown menu, select box, etc.
  • Multi-Select: Multi-select is used when you want participants to select more than one answer from a list.
  • Text Entry: Text Entry is used to gather open-ended feedback from respondents. These responses can be lengthy essays, standard form information such as name and email address, or anything in between.
  • Ranking Order: Rank Order is used to determine each respondent’s order of preference for a list of items. These questions are best used when you want to measure your respondents’ attitude toward something.
  • Rating Order: Rating questions are asked to indicate their personal levels on things such as agreement, satisfaction, or frequency
  • Matrix Table: Matrix Table is used to collect multiple pieces of information in one question. This type provides an effective way to condense your survey or to group similar items into one question. An example is the Likert scale.
  • Slider: Sliders let respondents indicate their level of preference with a draggable bar rather than a traditional button or checkbox.
  • Side by Side: Side by Side questions let you ask multiple questions in one condensed table and provides an effective way of shortening your survey while gathering the same amount of data.
