Assigning two independent response values to each multiple choice answer..

I'm looking to design a multiple choice questionnaire where each of the possible answers to the question provides not just one datapoint, but is actually scored as two independent datapoints.

For example, if I was to ask what type of holiday was preferred: a week-end sunbathing on a tropical island, a week skiing or three week's trekking

Is there a survey design that will allow me to assign, extract and collate two data aspects (length of time away) and (level of activity) independently of each other, so that – over a series of questions, I can accumulate scores for both aspects independently?

Ideally, these two aspects would then be plotted on an XY graph to visualise in which quadrant the majority of responses fell.

If that's not possible currently, I can easily do the analysis post-survey, but can you collect two datapoints per question in such a way?

Cheers,


Matt

Hey, Matt!

Our next version of SurveyGizmo will have this functionality built-in, but right now in SurveyGizmo, you'd want to use one of two methods.

You can use a custom script and a secondary list of text fields so you can populate the hidden list with seconday values for each of the options in the first question.

Apart from that, you can also delimit your own reporting values for each question, like “1|3″ and then split and run your own charts post-data collection.
