something short and to the point without requiring long detailed answers.

Answer 2

What Makes A Good Questionnaire

Answer 3

The compiler must have sufficient imagination to anticipate the likely reactions of a wide audience and phrase questions in such a way as to catch all conceivable responses. A good questionnaire is lively and interesting, so that the person responding is almost disappointed when it comes to an end. I have found a good link covering the different types of questionnaire and the compilation methods:

Answer 4

Questions

Answer 5

1. Keeping in mind exactly what you want to know when you design the questions
2. Writing the questions in language easily understood by the people who will answer
3 Choosing questions that focus exactly on the information you want to gather
4 Using the minimum number of questions you need to find out what you want

Answer 6

I agree with the other answers but I would like to add that avoiding multiple choice answers makes for a more valid result - even if it increases the effort needed to collate the answers.

Answer 7

simple straight forward layout.
none bias/leading questions.
age appropriate questions for your target audience.
nothing too timeconsuming/long.
nothing with use or overuse of jargon.
matching questionnaire format to evaluation format.

Answer 8

questions about the subject (...), they need to determine what type of people use the products in question, get as much detail as possible.
you need to remember to ask as many people from as many backgrounds as possible. ie instead of just asking teenagers ask oaps / parents etc as well

Answer 9

When you write your questions, you should make them neutral and not bias the wording toward a certain answer.
