Types of Questions in a Questionnaire

Hi Everyone,

This week we will share with you the type of questions commonly used in a questionnaire. It is important that you use the correct type of question to get the most accurate and reliable answers from your respondents.


FIRST: Demographic Questions: These are questions that asks the personal details of the respondents. Some examples are:



  1. Gender
  2. Age
  3. Race
  4. Occupation
  5. Marital Status


*Something to remember: Not everybody is comfortable to share their personal details with you, and they have the right to refuse answering these questions.   

SECOND: Single Answer Questions: These questions are questions that the  respondents need to select 1 answer only. Below is an example:



THIRD: Multiple Response Questions: As the name implies, these questions allow the respondents to select more than 1 answer:
                       



FOURTH: Open-Ended Questions: In these types of questions the respondent has the freedom to write what he/she wants when answering the question:

SIXTH: Ranking Questions: This type of question requires the respondent to rank a group of items from lowest to highest:
                        


Thats about it. There are many more designs, but these are the more common questions. They are simple,
easy to understand and answer, and the data can also be analysed quickly and effectively. 

If you need an effective questionnaire that maximizes the response rate, and the quality of the data, we can design a questionnaire just for you.
