Question Types

Question Mark Perception's authoring tool, allows you to create and design questions in a number of different formats called question types.

All questions can include question-specific graphics and styles. Background "wallpaper" can be used to promote a certain look and feel for your questions.

The following question types are available:

• Multiple choice: the participant selects one choice from up to 40 possible answers. There is no limit to the length of each answer.
• Multiple response: similar to multiple choice except the participant is not limited to choosing one response; he/she can select none, one or more of the choices offered.
• Fill-in-the-blank: the participant is presented with a statement where one or more words are missing and completes the missing words. The score can be determined from checking each blank against a list of acceptable words and can checked for mis-spelled words.
• Essay question: the participant answers by typing up to 30,000 characters of text. You may define what is right or wrong in advance by entering a list of acceptable answers or print out a report of the responses for manual grading. The logic can also allow scoring based on the presence or absence of keywords or key phrases. This question type is also used to solicit opinions or suggestions on a particular subject.
• Word response (text match): the participant types in a single word, or a few words to indicate. You define right or wrong words or phrases in advance by entering a list of acceptable answers. The grading logic can also allow scoring based on the presence or absence of keywords or key phrases and check for mis-spellings.
• Numeric questions: a participant is prompt to enter a numeric value and this may be scored as one value for an exact answer and another score if the response is within a range.
• Matching/Ranking (selection question): a series of statements are presented and the participant can select from a number of items and answers. You can use this question type for designing matching questions, ranking questions or to present a series of yes/no, true/false or other simple multiple choice questions on the same screen.
• Hotspot: a participant clicks on a picture to indicate their choice. Dependant upon their choice certain feedback and grades will be assigned. A graphics editor is provided to simplify specifying the choice areas. Drag and Drop: a participant clicks and drags up to ten images into position. The feedback and score is dependant upon the final position of the images.
• Matrix: this question type presents several multiple choice questions together where the participant selects one choice for each statement or question presented. This is question type is used to cross relate responses from a single item.
• Explanation screens: insert text or graphics for the participant to view prior to answering a series of questions.
