Available Question Types
Opinyze supports 10 question types to help you collect exactly the data you need.
Choice Questions
- Single Choice - Respondents pick one option from a list. Best for clear, mutually exclusive answers like "Which brand do you prefer?"
- Multiple Choice - Respondents select one or more options. Great for "Select all that apply" scenarios.
- Image Choice - Like single or multiple choice, but each option is represented by an image. Useful for logo testing, product packaging feedback, or visual preference studies.
Text Questions
- Short Text - A single-line text field for brief answers like names, titles, or one-line opinions.
- Long Text - A multi-line text area for detailed feedback, explanations, or open-ended thoughts.
Scale Questions
- Scale - Respondents rate something on a numeric scale. This is a versatile type that covers several common formats:
- Satisfaction ratings (e.g., 1-5 stars or 1-10 quality scores)
- Agreement scales (Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree, commonly known as Likert scales)
- Recommendation likelihood (the classic 0-10 NPS-style question)
- You configure the scale range and labels to match your specific use case.
Advanced Questions
- Matrix - Multiple related statements rated on the same scale in a grid layout. Efficient for comparing several items along the same dimension. Results display as a heatmap showing response intensity across rows and columns.
- Ranking - Respondents drag items into their preferred order. Useful for understanding priorities and preferences.
- Date - A date picker for collecting specific dates (e.g., "When did you last visit a clinic?").
- File Upload - Respondents upload images or documents. Useful for screenshot feedback, receipts, or visual evidence.
Choosing the Right Type
Different question types lend themselves to different kinds of analysis:
- Choice and scale questions produce clean quantitative data. Response distributions, averages, and demographic breakdowns are generated automatically and are easy to interpret at a glance.
- Text questions (short and long text) capture rich qualitative feedback, but analyzing them at scale requires AI-powered theme extraction, which may cost additional credits. Use text questions when you need depth, and choice questions when you need breadth.
- Matrix questions are efficient when you need to evaluate multiple items on the same dimension, but they can feel heavy for respondents. Use them sparingly.
Mix question types to keep respondents engaged. A survey that alternates between quick choices and thoughtful open-ended questions tends to get better completion rates.
