Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A filter question is designed to screen out respondents who don't meet certain qualifications or criteria to answer a subsequent question or set of questions. Preliminary questions may be used to gather basic demographic information, but they don't necessarily screen out respondents. Qualifying questions are used to determine if respondents meet certain criteria to participate in a study or survey, but they may be used throughout the survey rather than just as a preliminary question. Sequencing questions are used to determine the order in which respondents answer questions, but they don't screen out respondents.
