Best Practise for making a survey
By Dazza Limmo
When creating a survey, there are many considerations to take into account. This can be the relevance of the questions on whatever you put within the survey, the willingness of the survey taker (Aka the respondent) to respond to questions (Some questions can violate privacy), the ability of the respondent to understand and comprehend the questions (Some terms can be too specific and technical to understand). More considerations may include the potential ambiguity in the questions (Is it well defined, or can the question be interpreted differently?). This consideration can be seen in the double negative in questions like "Did you think that I didn't enjoy these tasks because I didn't smile? At the start of the survey, it is better to start with closed-ended questions, which are easier to answer than open-ended questions, as it can make the survey seem shorter. The length of the survey can discourage the respondent to not completing the rest of the survey. Surveys should be relevant, with the questions being specific and concise, but also being able to follow up with open-ended questions where necessary, so that you, as the creator of any survey, get appropriate responses and the respondent can complete the survey.
