If you don\u2019t tell him what kind of meat, toppings, or bread you want, you might end up with a meatball sub on white when you were hoping for a ham and swiss on rye.<\/p>\n<p>See, the right information is crucial (especially if you hate meatball subs!).<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s get to the \u201chow to\u201d of how to write survey questions.

(Most surveys will contain a balance of both open-ended and closed-ended questions.)<\/p>\n<h4>Open-ended questions<\/h4>\n<p>Open-ended questions usually ask people to write some type of short answer and do not provide respondents with a set of options to choose from. These questions allow readers to simply express their opinions.<\/p>\n<p>Open-ended questions include a comment section in which people might answer questions like these:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cHow do you feel about the new camera on the iPhone 6s?\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhat are your thoughts on the new Quesalupa at Taco Bell?\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Closed-ended questions<\/h4>\n<p>Closed-ended questions include a list options to choose from. Respondents aren\u2019t free to write what they wish. Instead, they are only allowed to select from a fixed set of choices.<\/p>\n<p>Closed-ended questions might include these types of questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Multiple choice questions<\/li>\n<li>Yes\/no questions<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hr-survey.com\/PfRatingScales.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rating scales<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Demographic questions (questions about one\u2019s background, such as age, race, gender, income, or education level)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step #2: Choose your words (and your question type) carefully<\/h3>\n<p>People taking your survey need to read questions quickly. If your writing is too wordy, confusing, or grammatically incorrect, readers might not bother to respond.<\/p>\n<p>Also, keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/writing-for-an-audience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">audience<\/a> in mind, and ensure you use words they can understand. This doesn\u2019t mean you should talk down to people, but you <i>do <\/i>need to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/grammar-rules-blog\/how-to-become-a-better-writer-smart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appropriate word choices<\/a>. In other words, avoid jargon, slang, and terms respondents might be unfamiliar with.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re surveying 13-year-old girls about a new line of jeans.<\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t write a question like this:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Based on your initial interactions with our new line of FlowerPower Jeans, please explain your thoughts about the desirability of the price point, material choice, and design elements present in this latest product launch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This open-ended question is too wordy and doesn\u2019t speak the language of a 13&nbsp;year old, so you\u2019re likely not going to obtain any useful information from this question.<\/p>\n<p>A more appropriate survey question in this case would be a closed-ended question.<\/p>\n<p><b>Your question might look like this: <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What do you like most about your new FlowerPower Jeans?\n<ul>\n<li>They\u2019re amazingly comfortable.<\/li>\n<li>The low price is awesome.<\/li>\n<li>The pocket designs and stitching are super-cute.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This closed-ended question is short, to the point, and allows respondents to select from a set of options. This not only makes the survey easier for people to complete, but will also give you more accurate data.<\/p>\n<h3>Step #3: Keep your questions short, simple, and specific<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4228\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4228\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4228\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4228 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS.jpg\" alt=\"survey questions\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4228 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20400%20400%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"survey questions\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20400%20400%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS-300x300.jpg 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/How-to-Create-Survey-Questions-KISS.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4228\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Keep it simple, stupid (and short)&#8221; by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/92501682@N00\/5067471752\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jegi<\/a>, Flickr.com&nbsp;(<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CC BY 2.0<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Long, involved survey questions generally require long, involved answers.
