Question Type: Sliding Scale

June 4th, 2008

Sliding scale question types are useful if you want to keep your respondent excited about your survey.  Instead of throwing a bunch of multiple choice questions at the respondent, switch it up a little.  An example of a good question to use on a sliding scale would be "how happy are you with your Professor?"  Qualtrics provides different sliding scale icons (smiley face, letter grade, etc.) — the respondent can then slide a tab up or down a scale to make the smiley face smile or frown, based on how happy they with their Professor.
