Tips in writing your questionnaire

Writing a questionnaire seems to be an easy task but it's not. It's brain draining.

So, here's my tip in writing a questionnaire:
1. Know your topic;
2. Keep in mind that you must use simple words for your respondents to answer them;
3. Keep your questions simple as possible, don't be too vague;
4. Try answering your questionnaire, if you find it hard or you can't understand how you construct the questions, change it; and
5. Limit the number of your questions because it'll be hard when you have so many questions when you start analyzing and interpreting your data.

Happy Data Gathering!
