Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Closed-ended questions provide a pre-determined set of response options, which are well-defined and aid in easy tabulation and analysis of data. Open-ended questions, on the other hand, lack structure and do not provide a fixed set of response alternatives, making it difficult to summarize the data. Loaded and double-barreled questions introduce bias into the survey and are generally not recommended.
