Definition



Questionnaire is a set of questions asked to the target
respondents. Both open and close-ended questions can be
used in the design of the questionnaire to collect data.
In questionnaire design the different types of data which
can be used are; nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio
scales.
What are the different scales?



NOMINAL: Label objects (e.g. yes/no, gender)



ORDINAL: Indicate only relative size differences between
objects (e.g. purchase frequency)



INTERVAL: Use descriptors that are equal distances apart
(e.g. measuring temperature)



RATIO: Have a true zero point (e.g. rupees spent)
Characteristics of a good questionnaire
1.

Should be concerned with specific and relevant topic

2.

Should be short

3.

Directions and wording should be simple and clear

4.

Questions should be objective

5.

Early questions should be simple in design, friendly and easy to respond;
on the other hand; they should convey the theme of the study to the
respondent.

6.

The questionnaires should begin with an effort to awaken the respondents’
interest. Important target questions should be asked in the middle of

the opinion survey.
7. Embarrassing questions, presuming questions and hypothetical
questions should be avoided
Continued
8. Should be presented in a good order
9. Should be attractive, neatly printed and clearly arranged.

10. All the questions related to personal information (name,
income, phone, address etc.) of the respondents should be either
optional or asked in the last section of the questionnaires.
11. Open ended questions should be placed in the later part of the
questionnaire and deliberately kept to the minimum.
What are open and close-ended questions?


For

open ended questions the researcher does not provide any options to answer. Questions are
open to any descriptive response.
Example:
Q. what do you do to keep yourself healthy?
_______________________________________________________
