Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Closed-ended survey questions should be exhaustive, meaning that they cover all possible options, and mutually exclusive, meaning that each option is distinct and not overlapping with another option. Including room for write-in responses would make the question open-ended, not closed-ended. Overlapping statements would create confusion for the respondent and lead to inaccurate data.
