There are various kinds of questions a survey can include, and it is often good to use a combination of different styles. Fixed-choice questions require the respondent to choose one from a limited range of options, which makes the results easier to code. Short, simple questions that are non-threatening to the respondent are the most likely to be answered.

Meanwhile, you should avoid asking leading questions, which suggest that a particular response is desired. 79-82
