Survey


Video Overview

 

The 'Survey' question type, commonly referred to as a 'Likert' question, is used to gather survey data using the same scale for more than one question or statements. This will gather people's opinions and improvements to products or company aspects can be made accordingly. 

The scale is set at the top of each column and up to six can be added. The most common 'Likert' scale is five, with the sixth item being used for a 'N/A' ( not applicable ) item. Up to eight items or statements can be entered and these are displayed as rows.

This question is similar to the ' Agreement' question type. Only one statement can be reviewed in an 'Agreement' question type, but up to eight can be included in a 'Survey' question.

Use Cases

Multiple Statements with the Same Answer Scale

When you have multiple statements under the same category, a similar answer scale can be used in this table format. This scale can gather quick and straightforward answers from your own customers in order to improve specific aspects.

 

Rating Scale

You can ask the respondent to rate any statement, product or service. The first column is the default scale for this question type. This table lists examples of what the rating scale could be:

Agreement Frequency Importance Quality Likelihood
Strongly Agree Always Very Important Excellent Definitely

Neutral Sometimes Moderately Important Fair Possibly
