Radio Buttons Question Type

What is this?

The Radio Button question type is the most common survey question format. It presents the respondent with multiple choices that are mutually exclusive, but allows them to select only ONE of them. Once you’ve selected a radio button option, you cannot unselect it, but you can choose a different answer if you prefer.

When would I use this?

You would use a radio button question if you needed your respondents to choose a specific option out of pre-defined answers. A great example of a Radio Button question would be, “What is your gender?”. The answers would be “Female”, “Male”, “Other”, or “Prefer not to answers. Our Radio buttons also allow you to use an other textbox to find out more information.

Another example would be “What is your age?”. Instead of having an open text box that they fill in, you can have a radio button that provides pre-defined ages such as “18″, “19″, “20″, etc.
