Compare One Against Another

This question type allows the respondent to choose between a number of items to show which are most preferred. You can use it if your subscription plan includes the 'Most preferred matrix' feature.

Questions of this type allow you find out which item is most preferred by your respondent even if they were originally unsure about the answer themselves.

In a survey this type of question might look something like this:

We are about to show you step by step how to implement this question

To add a 'Compare one against another' question to your survey you need to select the Insert > New Question option on the 'Surveys > Questions' page, and then:

  1. Use the 'Please select a question type' drop-down box to select "Compare One Against Another".
  2. Type your question text in the 'Write your question below' text box.
  3. List the items you want compared using answer choice fields.
  4. Select the 'Show/Hide on condition' option if you want to show or hide particular answer choices depending on the respondent's answers to the previous questions.
    For details on using this feature, consult the ' Optional Features' help chapter.
  5. 'Mode: Standard\Quick' Select the Standard mode to input each item in a different line or the Quick mode to input all the answer choices into the text box separating the choices by hitting the Enter key after each item.
  • The New line link allows you to add a new answer line in the Standard mode if needed.
  • The up and down arrow buttons allow you to move your answer choices up and down the list in the Standard mode.
  • The delete button removes the answer choice from the question in the Standard mode. A yellow-colored button means that you are not allowed to delete this answer option because you have respondents who have answered to it.
  • "Select answer order" allows you to modify your answer order (randomize, alphabetize, etc) <more>
