Each question type is designed to capture a specific kind of input, and selecting the appropriate format helps ensure that responses are clear, consistent, and easy to analyze. Indephr provides multiple question types to support different survey needs, from simple selections to detailed feedback. *** ### Why question types matter Using the correct question type helps you: * Collect structured and relevant data * Make it easier for respondents to answer * Improve response accuracy * Generate clearer and more useful reports Selecting the wrong type may lead to incomplete or unclear responses. *** ### Common question types Below are the commonly used question types in Indephr: *** #### Single Choice Allows respondents to select **one option** from a list. **Best used when:** * Only one answer is applicable * You want a clear and direct choice **Example:**\ What is your primary reason for using this product? *** #### Multiple Choice Allows respondents to select **more than one option**. **Best used when:** * Multiple answers may apply * You want to capture a range of preferences **Example:**\ Which features do you use regularly? *** #### Rating Scale Allows respondents to rate something on a scale (for example, 1 to 5 or 1 to 10). **Best used when:** * Measuring satisfaction or experience * Comparing performance or opinions **Example:**\ How satisfied are you with our service? *** #### Open-Ended (Text Response) Allows respondents to provide a detailed written answer. **Best used when:** * You want qualitative feedback * You need detailed opinions or suggestions **Example:**\ What improvements would you like to see? *** #### Yes / No A simple binary choice. **Best used when:** * You need a clear confirmation or decision **Example:**\ Would you recommend this product to others? *** ### Choosing the right question type When selecting a question type, consider: * What kind of response you need (choice, rating, or text) * How detailed the response should be * How easy it is for respondents to answer * How the data will be used in reports Choosing the right type ensures better data quality and easier analysis. *** ### Best practices To use question types effectively: * Keep the format simple and easy to understand * Avoid mixing too many different types unnecessarily * Use rating scales consistently across the survey * Provide clear options for choice-based questions --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
