Writing Good Survey Questions - Part 3. Open-Ended Questions
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I will be talking about open-ended questions. Along with closed-ended questions, open-ended questions are the other major type of question used in surveys. This episode covers the purpose of open-ended questions, their pros and cons, the different types of open-ended questions, several examples, and finally some tips and best practices for implementing them effectively in surveys.
The episode also includes an important ethical cautionary tale, as well as a warning about the dangers of over-relying on generative AI to analyze open-ended questions.
