Why might multiple-choice questions limit your understanding of respondents’ perspectives?

Hi PJJ Informatika,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Multiple-choice questions can limit your understanding of respondents' perspectives because they restrict answers to predefined options. This format may not capture the full range of thoughts, feelings, or nuances that respondents might want to express. Respondents are confined to selecting from the choices given, which can lead to oversimplification of complex opinions or experiences.

In contrast, open-ended questions allow respondents to provide more detailed and personalized responses, offering richer insights into their perspectives. Multiple-choice questions are useful for quantitative analysis but may miss the depth and diversity of respondents' views.

Let us know if you need help with creating forms that balance multiple-choice and open-ended questions to get a more comprehensive understanding of your audience. If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more so I can help you better?
