That’s why we’ve outlined the different types of questions for you. Explore the interactive guide to all question types here. Explore the interactive guide to all question types here.

Multiple choice text question

This type of question allows you to ask a multiple-choice question where the answer options are text-based. Typically, there is one correct answer, but you also have the option to approve multiple correct answers. This question is ideal for testing users’ knowledge.

This question functions the same way as the multiple-choice text question, but the answer options are images instead of text. This question is also suitable for testing users’ knowledge and can allow for one or multiple correct answers.

Open question

An open question gives users the freedom to formulate their answers entirely on their own without predefined options. This type of question is often used to obtain detailed and nuanced information. It is particularly useful in customer satisfaction surveys and user experience studies, where users can thoroughly describe their experiences and suggestions. LesLinq provides the ability to evaluate the accuracy and relevance of each response based on predetermined keywords, which helps in effectively analyzing detailed feedback.

Rating scale question

In a rating scale question, the various answer options have specific values or scores. This type of question is commonly used to measure opinions, attitudes, or perceptions. For example, respondents can indicate how much they agree with a statement, ranging from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree.”

These questions are often used to measure customer satisfaction, user experience, job satisfaction, and the effectiveness of training programs. By analyzing the responses, companies can gain valuable insights to improve their products, services, and internal processes.

General survey question

A general survey question is similar to a rating scale question but accepts multiple answers and does not store scores. All selected answers are saved, providing comprehensive data on users’ choices.

This type of question is used to gather a wide range of opinions and preferences. It can be used to obtain detailed insights into customer preferences, user experiences, and opinions about products or services. The collected data can be displayed graphically to analyze how often a particular answer was chosen by multiple participants, allowing organizations to recognize trends and patterns and make targeted improvements.
