Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forced-choice question formats provide respondents with only two options to choose from, which reduces the tendency to sit on the fence and avoids ambiguous responses. This can help to eliminate the issue of fence-sitting. While forced-choice questions can also reduce the tendency to fake good, they may not be effective in addressing other issues such as faking bad, people self-reporting more than they can know, or other sources of response bias.
