During your online survey, the types of questions you can ask from your audiences significantly determine your survey’s success or failure. The most fundamental denominator that can influence your online survey results is the survey questions. In your survey, various questions and answers promote multiple conclusions and even a single and similar question.

2.    Multiple Choice Question

The multiple-choice question is also known as a nominal variable question. It is a type of question where the answers are used to label or categorize particular attributes of significance. It takes qualitative values representing different categories, and there may be no intrinsic ordering of these options. It can consist of three or more options.

3.      Demographic Questions

Demographics are one of the most integral parts of the success of an online survey. Demographic questions in a survey allow researchers to gain background information about the survey participants. These demographic questions provide essential context for the collected data.

Demographic questions may include; age, income, gender, race, number of family members, geographic location, and much more…

4.      Open-ended questions

These type of questions are also beneficial for researchers. Open-ended questions generally cannot be answered with a simple “yes” or “no” response or a predetermined static response. They typically require a more extended response that the researcher can use for analysis. These open-ended questions are excellent for exploring in-depth aspects of the particular issue or topic. This method provides a chance for a respondent to respond in more detail. Open-ended questions require more effort and time and should be used strategically.

Example:

5.      Matrix Table questions
