A Questionnaire is a set of questions, written by a Researcher to help gather information from respondents which is further analyzed and forms a Research result. <\/p>\n

A good questionnaire requires formulating the questions carefully, editing, reviewing and rewriting the questions when necessary. It should be Straight-forward and not difficult to answer. <\/p>\n

We have identified the following rules of writing a good questionnaire to guide you in formulating questions for your questionnaire:<\/p>\n

1. Use Simple words:<\/strong> Throw away all the big grammar known by only you. Use less complex words in sentences. <\/p>\n

2. Create a balance:<\/strong> The questions should be structured in such a way as to generate useful answers for testing the hypothesis.<\/p>\n

3. Start with interesting questions:<\/strong> One thing it does is ensures a smooth administration of questionnaire or filling of the questionnaire. <\/p>\n

4. Avoid lead questions: <\/strong>Construct straight forward questions that can only be answered using the variables you have listed.<\/p>\n

5. Use closed-ended questions:<\/strong> A closed-ended question is a question format that limits respondents with a list of answer choices from which they must choose to answer the question.<\/p>\n

6. You can use few choice lists:<\/strong> Choice list can be a maximum of four answers. More accurate answers can be gotten from them during analysis.<\/p>\n

7. Arrange the questions in Logical order: <\/strong> Your questions should connect and presented in such a way the respondents can think clearly before answering.<\/p>\n
