Open Ended Questions
An open-ended question is designed to encourage a full,

or feelings.
Open-ended questions are also known as unstructured
questions or free-response or free-answer questions.
Open-ended questions typically begin with words such as
"Why" and "How", or phrases such as "Tell me
about...". Often they are not technically a question, but a
statement which asks for a response.
Close-ended Questions
This type of questions often takes the form of
ranking, scaled items or categorical responses.
In this format Multiple choice questions are
given, where respondents are restricted to
choose among any of the given multiple choice
answers.
This is further divided in three types of
questions.
Dichotomous Questions: These questions have restrictive
alternatives and provide the respondents only with two
answers. These could be ‘yes’ or ‘no’, ‘like’ or ‘dislike’,
‘similar’ or ‘different’, ‘married’ or ‘unmarried’ etc.

applicable.

terms of their level of measurement. In this the respondents
are asked to rank order their preferences by using
an ordinal question.
