Is it now possible to randomize questions and or statements?


I created a survey with challenging questions to reflect about the OKR (Objective & KeyResults) & the tactics (channels/activities) we run in the team.
I have around 20 statements or questions and want to ask only 3-4 per session.

Is it possible to randomize the questions / statements?
I know there is an option with grouped questions, but at the end it’s not really randomized.

Thank you

Hi @Yves Keller Happy Monday! Glad to have you here in the community. I’m afraid this isn’t possible yet, and it sounds like you’ve seen our workaround below: 

https://community.typeform.com/build-your-typeform-7/is-there-a-way-to-randomize-the-order-of-questions-within-a-section-243

Of course, if we think of any other workarounds or ideas, we’ll post them here!

Hi All,

I have a customer feedback form that I’m looking to add a few questions to. But, I want to keep the form as short as possible so we don’t see a drop-off in responses. There are two pairs of questions (four questions total) that I would like to randomly offer to respondents. So the first user would see questions A & B in their flow, and the second user would see C & D in their flow. This way I can add some more questions, not lengthen the form, with the understanding that I’ll get about half as many responses to each of these specific questions.

I’ve seen that I could pass in a hidden value and custom logic that would set the user to condition 1 (A&B) or condition 2 (C&D) but I’d really like it to be something I don’t have to set on the link.

Thanks @Liz 

This was the solution I saw where I can pass in a hidden field to determine the question set. Is there an option where I don’t have to pass in anything additional?

Hi @theted I’m afraid we don't have any other workarounds at this time, and in order to use this one, you would need to use the hidden field. :sob:

Hello!

So, I have 10 questions quiz for my students. However, I want the questions to be randomized PLUS only show 5 questions for each children (so every children gets different questions and different orders). Is it possible to do that in typeform?

I wnat to ask if I can create a punch of questions as a bank question to build an exam to examine my users’ knowledge in education fields. And for each time user try to solve the exam it will provide x number from bank questions and it has to to random.

 

So Can I use your platform to creat a bank question and randomize the questions. Also I want to embed the form to my platform and save the user grade after they finish the exam at my platform.

Could please tell if type form can serve my needs?

 

looking forward to hearing from you

Thanks you

Have a good day,

Hi @AlShaimaa I’ve added your post here where we have the answer. 


I’m making a quiz and I’d like to randomize the “next question”. I included a graph in the attached image. I’d like people to get a random question from step 2 when finished with step 1, but then everyone should go back on the same track to question 3.

 

Thank you for your time.

 

Insane workarounds are welcome.

Hey guys,

I have to create a survey on Typeform for work, but I am not sure if it is possible to implement the instructions that I received.

First question: Our study is planned as an intervention study. This means, people who answered “yes” in one of two questions (Question 1 OR Question 2) should be randomized to either the intervention group or a control group. People who answered “no” in both of these questions should always get the control group. Is it possible to do that with Typeform? And if yes, how exactly? 

Second question: For two questions with a text box, the instruction is to place some more information BELOW the text box. Is that possible?

Thank you so much for your feedback, I hope you are having a great day.

 

Best,

Matteo

Hi @Matteo_uni_vienna I moved your post here where we have an existing conversation about randomizing questions. 

As far as moving instructions below the text box, I’m afraid this isn’t possible, but you could add a statement directly after a short/long text question.
