A SURVEY QUESTIONNAIRE DOESN’T HAVE TO HAVE
ONLY ONE TYPE OF QUESTION. FEEL FREE TO ADD
AS MANY OF THE DIFFERENT TYPES AS NECESSARY,
INCLUDING THE NON-STRUCTURED QUESTIONS
WE’RE ABOUT TO COVER.
NON-STRUCTURED OR OPEN-ENDED
QUESTIONS
● Non-structured or open-ended questions are
items where there is no list of choices to answer.
● Respondents are simply asked to write their own
response to a question.
● Non-structured questions are ideally used when
you are exploring new ideas and are not really
sure what to expect from the respondents.
