An open-ended question is a question that requires more than a simple "yes" or "no" answer, allowing the respondent to provide detailed and thoughtful responses. It encourages conversation and fosters deeper exploration of a topic by prompting the person to share their thoughts, feelings, or opinions.
A closed question is when the answer can only be Yes/No. Or when you have a predefined list of answers to choose from. An open ended question let's you answer with your own words.
both.
No. Actually, yes and no. It would be the other way around though, the open ended question being a multiple choice question. Most, if not all, open ended questions are based on the answerer's opinion, and would contain more than one set answer. This would make the question, while still being open ended, a multiple choice question. To clarify, use the following example: Q: "Who is the best movie actor and why are they the best?" A: Multiple. All based on opinion. (I pick Sean Connery, David Tennant, and Matt Smith (I know that he is not in any movies, at least none in the US, but he still is an actor); this makes my answer a multiple choice answer; as for why, They just play their parts magnificently. You see, the example question could have more than one answer, which makes it multiple choice (or close to it) but asks the answerer to elaborate on why they think thus.
"What are your thoughts on the impact of climate change on society?"
The best question is one that provokes thought, encourages discussion, and leads to deeper understanding or insight. It should be open-ended, relevant, and thought-provoking.
An open ended question "where were you this afternoon?" A closed question " you weren't at the park this afternoon were you?" An open ended question invites the responder to say what they like, while a close ended question aims to illicit a yes or no response.
Close ended question are more efficient then open ended question as they can be answered in two words or less. Open ended questions provide the inquirer more information so they are more sufficient when used in marketing.
