Summary of Creating Interview and Survey Questions

Biased Questions – this question persuade people to answer in the way that the interviewer wants.
*Ex. Is there any difference between Thai and Japanese music?


Questions that assume what they ask – makes people to say yes or no immediately.
*Ex. Do you agree or disagree that Thai and Japanese music are the same?


Double-barreled questions – this question asks two questions at the same time, but separates the question, so that the person who answers can answer properly.
*Ex. Are there any different types of music in Japan? (If yes,) Are they still famous or not famous anymore?

Confusing or wordy questions – make sure the question is not confusing. Otherwise it will make the person who answers the question confuse.
*Ex. What do you know about Japanese and Thai traditional music so far?


Questions that do not relate to what you want to learn – make sure the question is still on the topic. You better ask to the people about your question before you do the interview.
*Ex. What is the difference between Japanese and Thai traditional music?
