Pre-testing a questionnaire is useful for:
finding out which topics are important to the respondents
testing out your computer and printer
identifying any problems with the question wording and routing
deciding which respondents to leave out of the final sample
identifying any problems with the question wording and routing
The construction of a good questionnaire is a long and complicated process, involving many redrafts and revisions. This is because it is easy to write questions that are ambiguous, confusing, or that suggest particular answers. For this reason, most researchers who use this method try to pre-test (or ‘pilot’) their questionnaire before embarking on the actual study. By asking a small number of people to try answering the questions, they can quickly identify any that are problematic, and rewrite them. 80
