Question types: Single Select

What is it?

A single select question limits the respondent to selecting a single option from your response list.


When to use it?

Use single select questions for ordinal/likert scales (e.g. strongly agree, somewhat agree, etc) or nominal lists where you want to limit the respondent to a single option (e.g. what is your favourite colour?).

Tips for using this question type?

  • Try to keep the question text short and concise. We suggest not exceeding 140 characters (excluding spaces), or roughly 30 words
  • Try to keep the individual response options short and concise. We suggest not exceeding 50 characters (excluding spaces), or roughly 10 words
  • Try not to use very long response lists, ideally 10 options or less. If you have a very long list, say 30 options or more we suggest that you split it up across multiple questions
