Questionnaire and it’s characteristics

As per Good & Hatt – “In general, the word Questionnaire refers to a device for securing answers to questions by using a form which the respondent fills in himself.”

Types of questionnaire

  • Having Closed questions – Yes-No type of questions. Objectivity is present and they are quick and easy to complete and analyse.

Eg. Do you like music? (Yes/No).

  • Having Open or Descriptive Questions – They take more time to answer. Difficult to analyse as a lot of subjectivity seeps in.

Eg. Describe your best friend’s qualities.

Characteristics of questionnaire

  • Should be based on objectives and not very lengthy.
  • Questions should be clear, specific and attractive.
  • Instructions should be provided before starting.
  • Questions should be arranged sequentially from easy to difficult and from general to specific.

Need and purpose of questionnaire
