A
“Do you like TikTok and YouTube?”
Why: Double-barreled—asks two things at once. Splitting makes each answer clear.
“Do you hate exams?”
Why: Emotionally loaded—“hate” is strong and limits responses. Neutral wording opens variety.
“Select your favorite percentage: 0–25%, 25–50%, 50–75%, 75–100%”
Why: Overlapping endpoints (25 included twice) — ranges must be mutually exclusive.
“Do you use technology often?”
Why: Vague—“often” means different things to different people. The fix makes it measurable.
“In your personal opinion, considering your past experiences with different online platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, or MS Teams, how would you evaluate their usefulness in terms of communication, efficiency, and accessibility?”
Too long/complicated—asks multiple questions at once. Breaking down makes it answerable.
“Please state your income.”
Why: Sensitive question — use ranges and include refusal option to reduce nonresponse.
“Why do you waste so much time on your phone?”
Why: Loaded—it assumes the person wastes time. Neutral phrasing avoids judgment.
“Do you think studying science is fun and hard?”
Why: Contradictory double-barreled—fun vs. hard are two different measures. Separate them.
“What’s your favorite color? A) Red B) Blue C) Green”
Why: Non-exhaustive options force inaccurate answers.
“How much do you like our school? (A. A lot B. Very much C. Extremely)”
Why: Unbalanced scale—only positive answers. Balanced scales allow a full range of opinions.
“Are you satisfied with the CPU throughput?”
Why: Jargon/technical term may confuse respondents. Use plain language.
What’s the best school event?” (only one answer allowed)
Why: Restrictive — people may have more than one favorite. Multiple selection is fairer.
“Isn’t it true that studying late at night is better?”
Why: Leading—pushes toward “late at night.” Neutral version allows any answer.
Rate your satisfaction: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5”
Why: Unlabeled scales cause inconsistent interpretation — always anchor endpoints.
“Do you not think that cheating is unacceptable?”
Why: Negative construction is confusing. Positive phrasing is clearer.
