Survey Question Designer

Write surveys that produce clear, usable signal instead of vague feedback. Reduce bias and improve question flow.

Quick Reference

Key Insight: Every question should inform a decision. Avoid questions that only satisfy curiosity. Use the right question type for the data you need.

When to Activate

Activate when the user asks to:

• create surveys or feedback forms
• design marketing or customer research
• improve question flow or reduce bias

Workflow

Step 1: Define Goal

Identify:

• primary decision the survey informs
• audience and channel
• required data types

Step 2: Question Types

Reference references/question-types.md:

Screener – Filter respondents into the right audience

Multiple Choice – Clean comparison, segmentation-friendly answers

Rating – Satisfaction, importance, confidence; avoid stacking too many

Open Response – When language matters and you want customer voice

Follow-Up Probe – Only when prior answer creates meaningful branch

Step 3: Question Flow

Order questions to:

• screen first
• start easy, build to harder
• avoid leading or loaded language
• limit length (drop questions that don't inform the goal)

Step 4: Bias Reduction

• Use neutral wording
• Provide balanced options
• Avoid leading questions

Step 5: Output Structure

Produce:

• survey goal and decision to inform
• question list with type and rationale
• flow and branching logic
• bias-reduction notes
