Short description

An array allows you to create subquestions as your left hand headings along the y-axis of a table, and let your participants respond with a series of possible answer options using those subquestions along the y-axis of the table. Examples of uses for this type include multiple point choice scales and questions that require feedback on several aspects of a particular topic.


General description

An array allows you to create subquestions as your left hand headings along the y-axis of a table, and let your participants respond with a series of possible answer options using those subquestions along the y-axis of the table.

The two options available are using a matrix organized by rows or columns:

A further option available with Arrays is the Semantic Differential . You have to choose Array or Array (5 point choice) as your question type and afterwards you can part the answer which should be on the left side from the answer on the right side of the array by using a Pipe Char '|' (If you do not know where is the Pipe Char on your keyboard you can enter it by pressing and holding Alt key, entering 124 and releasing the Alt key). For example: If you want to have 'Good' and 'Evil' on the left and right of the row just write 'Good|Evil' into the answer field:
