Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Closed-ended questions are preferred in surveys because they are easier to analyze statistically, provide uniform responses, and are more straightforward for respondents to answer, leading to higher response rates and more reliable data. Open-ended questions can provide richer data but are harder to analyze and may lead to lower response rates due to the effort required to answer. Demographic questions are a type of closed-ended question but are not the only type you should tend toward. Leading questions should be avoided as they can bias responses.
