Frequently Asked Questions
What question types should I include in my survey?
Choose question types based on the information you need: Likert scales (5-point or 7-point) for measuring attitudes and agreement; multiple choice for categorical responses; rating scales for satisfaction or importance; open-ended text for detailed feedback; yes/no for simple decisions; checkboxes when multiple selections are allowed; ranking for prioritization; and matrix questions for rating multiple items on the same scale. This tool includes 12+ professional question types covering all major survey needs.
How many questions should my survey have?
Aim for 10-20 questions to balance completeness with respondent burden. Surveys over 20 questions see significantly higher abandonment rates. Prioritize essential questions, use matrix questions to group related items, and remove "nice to know" questions that are not critical to your research objectives. This tool provides estimated completion time to help you optimize survey length.
What is the difference between 5-point and 7-point Likert scales?
5-point scales (Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree) are easier for respondents and standard in most research. 7-point scales provide more granularity and are useful when you need to detect subtle differences, but they can increase cognitive load. Research shows both are reliable; choose based on your precision needs and respondent sophistication. This tool supports both formats.
Can I use this tool for dissertation or academic research surveys?
Absolutely! This tool is designed specifically for research-quality surveys. Create professional questionnaires for dissertations, thesis projects, academic studies, or grant-funded research. Export your survey design to share with advisors and import it to online survey platforms. The tool follows survey methodology best practices taught in research methods courses.
