Survey Question Bias Check
Research & Summaries
Checks a numbered list of survey questions, with their answer options, and reports only the questions whose wording would bias the answers, one line per problem with a fixed code, the question number, why it biases and a neutral rewrite - or exactly No findings. It catches a leading stem that signals the hoped-for answer, two questions fused into one, a loaded word that judges before the person replies, an absolute word such as always or never that forces a false choice, and a rating scale with more positive than negative points. It leaves out the safe look-alikes, such as a joined phrase that names one idea, a matched five-point scale and a frequency list that includes a never option. Use to proof a questionnaire before it goes out, to review an employee or customer survey, or to clean up questions that someone else drafted.
