Question

What are the different question types in Qualtrics? 

Answer

  • Text: Text questions can be used to add an introduction or instructions to your survey, or wherever you need to display content to the respondent, without asking for feedback.
  • Graphic: Graphic questions can be used to display an image to your respondents without asking for feedback.
  • Multiple Choice: Multiple Choice questions form the basis of most research. They can be displayed as a traditional list of choices or as a dropdown menu, select box, etc.
  • Text Entry: Text Entry is used to gather open-ended feedback from respondents. These responses can be lengthy essays, standard form information such as name and email address, or anything in between.
  • Rank Order: Rank Order is used to determine each respondent’s order of preference for a list of items.
  • Matrix Table: Matrix Table is used to collect multiple pieces of information in one question. This type provides an effective way to condense your survey or to group similar items into one question.
  • Slider: Sliders let respondents indicate their level of preference with a draggable bar rather than a traditional button or checkbox.
  • Side by Side: Side by Side questions let you ask multiple questions in one condensed table and provides an effective way of shortening your survey while gathering the same amount of data.
  • Form Field: Form field questions provide respondents with multiple separate text-entry boxes.
  • Net Promoter Score: Net Promoter Score is a customer loyalty metric that gauges how willing a customer is to recommend a product or service. 
  • Timing: Add a timer to track and manage how much time a respondent spends on a specific page.
  • Graphic Slider: Graphic slider questions display an image that changes as respondents drag a bar to indicate their preference level.
  • Constant Sum: Constant sum questions provide respondents points they have to allocate to specific features or attributes.
  • Pick, Group, and Rank: Pick, group, and rank questions allow respondents to drag and drop items into groups. Within each group, respondents can rank them. 
  • Drill Down: Drill down questions help respondents choose from a long list of options, by organizing answers in drop-down lists.
  • Heat Map: Heat map questions provide respondents an image and lets them select any part to give feedback on. 
  • Hot Spot: Hot spot questions provide respondents an image with predefined areas to give feedback on. 
  • Meta Info: Track and report basic info about your respondents, such as their operating system and browser.
  • Captcha Verification: Add a captcha verification to ensure that your respondents are real humans and not a bot.
