Want to know what people like the best? What’s your favourite restaurant’s top-rated dessert? Who do your students think should be teacher of the year? Maybe you want to create a top 10 list of this year’s best (or worst) movies? Well, you’re in the right place, dear customers. You can do all that and more in your surveys thanks to our handy Ranking Question.
The Ranking question option is an interactive and fun survey design choice. Your respondents can choose to click into the number field and type in their rankings, use their mouse to drag-and-drop their choices or make their selection from a dropdown menu. As a heads-up for your survey respondents, you may want to include some additional text to inform them that their answer choices will move automatically once they start the ranking process.
Let’s take a peek.
Now what about calculating those averages based on your respondents’ answers? We’ve got you covered. The ranking choices will always be weighted with equivalent value. For example, in our question above, if we rank “Cake” as our number one choice, this will be calculated with a weight of 1.
If you’d like to include the N/A option, go ahead and tick the option for this when creating your question. That way, it will be counted as “0” but won’t be calculated into the averages which would throw them off.
So your ranking question is all set up. Now let the fun and games begin! Who knows? Maybe that movie everyone said was a flop turns out to be a hit thanks to your survey? Perhaps you’ll get your just desserts when you find out that the floury mess in the kitchen was all worth it as your guests happily devour your speciality cakes.
Regardless of the outcome, you’ll know that you came out number 1 at survey design!
