      Building Questions: Multi-Response

      Multi-response questions (MRQ) are designed for up to three reflective responses on the same subject and are organized into a grid. MRQs are similar to a nested question, yet they cover more options.

      Multi-response questions are created using the following structure:

      NOTE:

      • The numbered list corresponds to the image below, showing how a multi-response question is displayed to an assessment participant.
      • Click on any image to view a larger version of it.
      1. First, establish a Framing Question, for example:
        • Supportive Leadership is critical to an effective DEI program
      2. Then, one or more Subjects are established, for example:
        • How effective are our company's efforts in fostering a positive work culture and employee morale?
        • To what extent do you perceive our company leadership and management practices to effectively drive organizational success?
      3. Finally, up to three Defining Questions are added, for example:
        1. C-Suite
        2. Director and VP Level
        3. Managers and Supervisors
      4. Unlike a nested question, which requires all sub-questions to have the same response-option set, the multi-response question can have a different response-option set for each defining question.
      5. This MRQ allows the assessment writer to ask two questions applied to three different subjects. Essentially, six questions in one.
