Key Takeaways Effective survey design requires recognizing and avoiding biased or poorly constructedquestions – leading, loaded, and double-barreled – to ensure high-quality and reliable data. What Are Bad Survey Questions? If you find any double-barreledquestions, split them into separate questions.
A poorly crafted survey with biased questions becomes a liability as it can lead to biased responses, misinterpretation of data, and ultimately leads to misguided business decisions. These biased questions not only skew the data but also waste a valuable opportunity to gather actionableinsights. Let’s find out.
Remove leading statements, skewed scales, double-barreledquestions, and other subjective constructs. But if you ask tired questions in tired ways you won’t learn much. If you are open, curious, and scientific in your approach, you’ll gain actionableinsights that can dramatically improve your business.
Scour your survey to ensure that it doesn’t include any leading constructs. Nix double-barreledquestions. These questions ask about two separate issues in one question. Even better, use a mixture of research methods because each method will result in different kinds of actionableinsights.
