Poll Questions
What Are Poll Questions?
Polls are used when answers are subjective, with no single response being more correct than another. They are ideal for:
Gauging audience opinions on a topic.
Measuring sentiment or industry trends.
Encouraging engagement without competitive scoring.
Participants can see how their responses compare to others, or results can be hidden for privacy-sensitive topics.
Poll Structure
Multiple-choice format.
No correct answers—all responses are treated equally.
Optional participation points can be awarded.
Results can be shared with participants or kept hidden.
Showing results can help reassure respondents that they are not alone in their views, fostering a sense of community.
Scoring Options
Points can be awarded for participating in a poll.
No weighted scoring—if you need weighted answers, consider using an Assessment instead.
