​Survey Types Quiz - Test Your Knowledge

​If you've never run a survey before, how do you know what to do? For a start, there are different survey types, all designed for different purposes.

And then when you get your data, how do you analyse them?

Gahhhhh!!!!

It's starting to get complicated.

Not to worry, though, because I've got just the thing for you - I'm going to show you all the different types of survey that you'll encounter​ - after I've tested your knowledge with a short, fun ​survey types quiz.

​Get started here to test your knowledge:

Introduction to ​Survey Types

​To help you understand a little more about survey types, I've put together a little graphic to help you out.

And this is what ​it looks like:

So, how did you do in ​our ​survey types quiz?

  • ​Did you get all the correct answers?
  • ​Do you understand how each of the answers fits into ​the bigger picture?
  • ​Do you understand why the each survey type has its place in the graphic, and can you recognise when to use each one?

​​Well, ​our interactive survey types quiz is actually one of the lessons in The Hive from our exclusive video course How to Analyse Categorical Survey Data in Excel and in R​, which is Open Access to start with (you don't need to register).

A Summary of ​Survey Types

When it all comes down to it, ​running surveys is easier than it seems.

There are only a few different types, and each one has its place. Once you know them all and what you use them for, it becomes simple to choose the correct type for your study.

And when you have the correct type right from the start, everything else falls into place.
