I like this much better than a wall of Likert Scale radio buttons. The knowledge of exactly which question the user is focusing on, and the layout of this survey, presents a really cool opportunity to offer timed prompts. Suppose the user is mulling over a particular question for an extended

Nice, inspiring design, and good suggestions. The feedback Adrian is talking about to facilitate the review can be in the form of colored bullet (with numbers -2 -1 0 1 and 2 in it or with thumbs up/down) next to the answered question (in addition to the button highlight you are suggesting -- I

One possibility is to perform a pilot and see which questions co-vary. This can help identify questions which are perceived to answer the same thing and reduce them down to one. Having said that, there might be times when repeating a question (e.g., an L-score) is necessary. In terms of examples,

Thanks for your responses, everyone. Turns out, though, that while writing down the design criteria for the survey design, the solution magically presented itself. Need to run it by a few users, but I think I have a winner. Cheers! -r-

Hi Robert, Attached is a screen shot of a word document. It's a likert-scale survey of the Revised Learning Process Questionnaire (R-LPQ) I used for some teaching research. I have adapted this kind of layout many times for online versions. Instead of just a grid, I use radio buttons. One

I have adapted this kind of layout many times for online versions. Instead of just a grid, I use radio buttons. This is exactly what I want to avoid—row after row of radio button groups. Very tedious, not the least bit enjoyable, and in a survey with 100 questions, it means bombarding the

Here's what I designed http://rhjr.net/tests/LikertScale.gif. I'd love any and all feedback. It's obviously an unconventional design, so I'd like to run it by some users, and I'd love to hear the impressions of other designers. The task flow: 1. User clicks a response to the current active

* I initially thought green-is-good/red-is-bad... I expect that will bias some folk from the actual accurate/inaccurate scale. Good point. I was thinking, Red = negative as in disagree, Green = positive as in agree. Trying to make use of that existing mental model. Perhaps there are other

Cool design! Looks less intimidating than a huge form, too. Feedback: * Agree with Adrian that finished questions should have some indicator of whether you answered them or not in the preview. And, they need to show what answer you gave, so that you can decide to go back and change it if

I'd agree with that. A proposed flow: - click an answer button - immediately get the next question - next question page includes a spot (top or bottom?) that confirms the previous answer and offer to undo/go back That way I can just ignore the confirmation unless I actually need to change my

Anyone ever seen a great design for a long survey comprised entirely of Likert scale questions? One I need to design has 100 questions, which could obviously make it pretty tedious. Looking for ways to make it feel fast and easy. Thanks! -r-
