Glossary Term

Forced-Choice Format

A question design requiring the respondent to choose between defined alternatives, with no neutral option.

In a forced-choice format, the child selects one of two contrasting statements. This reduces cognitive load and avoids mid-point drift common with long Likert scales.

Our puppet interviews deliver matched A/B lines in a standardized order to preserve fairness while keeping the experience engaging.
