Interactive respondent exercises

IntelliSurvey offers various interactive question types to enhance respondent engagement.

Question types

Card sorts

Card sorts simulate a traditional sorting exercise where respondents reorder virtual "cards" based on specified instructions. Card sorts are create with the start card sort widget.

Carousel tables

Carousel tables (a.k.a., Horizontal Carousel Batteries) use the carousel: y tag to alter how single-select (radio) or multiselect (checkbox) tables display their row-questions. Rows are instead displayed as slides while the options are listed below them. Image usage is also supported with carousel tables.

MaxDiff exercises

MaxDiff exercises, also known as best-worst scaling, ask respondents to select the "most" and "least" preferred options from subsets of a larger set of elements. MaxDiff exercises can either be created with the type: maxdiff tag or the create maxdiff widget, and exercises can be scored via TURF analysis.

Slider questions

IntelliSurvey offers two different types of slider questions:

• Sliders are open-ended questions that allow respondents to select a value by moving an indicator along a continuous scale. Use the type: slider tag to create an open-ended slider question, or type: slider table to create a slider table.
• Radio sliders are closed-ended questions that use predefined responses along its scale. Use the type: radio slider tag to create a closed-ended (radio) slider question, or type: radio slider table to create a radio slider table.

Both sliders and radio sliders can be displayed horizontally (default) or vertically.

Star rating questions

Similar to sliders, IntelliSurvey offers two different types of star rating questions:

• Stars are open-ended questions that use a star rating system. Use the type: stars tag to create an open-ended stars question, or type: stars table to create a stars table.
• Radio stars are closed-ended questions that use a star rating system. Use the type: radio stars tag to create a closed-ended (radio) stars question, or type: radio stars table to create a radio stars table.

Both stars and radio stars allow for the use of alternative icons as well.

Tiled tables

Tiled tables are numeric entry tables optimized for mobile use that include plus/minus buttons as an alternative to typing your responses. Row-questions are displayed as individual tiles that can adapt to the respondent's screen size. Add the mode: tiled tag to a numeric table to present it as a tiled table.
